Thoughtful planning brings an '80s ride into the future.
Every car you approach for an install demands something different. The shape of the vehicle, its original intended use or the year in which it was made could greatly affect the install direction. Wanting to do something futuristic to an old car, Ground Designs 2000 owner Ivan Tampi went looking for a suitable (and cheap) vehicle. He found it in this 1988 Honda CRX. After dropping a mere $3,000, the car was his to completely redesign.
If You Want My Body...
Tampi's Ground Designs 2000 is widely known as the force behind the Black Widow body kit. For the CRX, Tampi decided to up the ante and went back into R&D, coming up with the Black Widow Special Edition, a brand new wide body kit sure to turn heads. It wasn't that easy though--it took three tries to get the design just right, incorporating ideas from the Porsche Carrera GT, the Cobra and more.
