It can be hard to stand out in today’s fast-paced, high-priced world of custom cars. To get noticed, car customizers often resort to tried-but-true methods, like widebody kits on muscle cars. Sometimes that is just what the owner calls for, though why anyone would want to make an already-wide car like the 5th-generation Camaro any wider is beyond us.

But as Camaro5 reports, Chrome & Carbon has put together a widebody kit for the Chevy Camaro that they call “Guyver” which costs as much as a car all by itself. But do the new looks warrant the price?

For you non-nerds, “Guyver” is a reference to a mid-80’s Japanese manga (comic) series called “Bio Booster Armor Guyver.” That became a show called simply “Guyver” about futuristic warriors who wear symbiotic bio-suits. It’s an obscure reference likely to escape most (but not all) car guys, though the name is oddly appropriate for this bodykit.

The widebody “Guyver” kit retails at about $18,000, and includes a new front bumper, front splitter and grille, a carbon fiber hood, widebody fenders, rear bumper and spoiler, and more. The kit all but transforms the Camaro into a different car with a whole lot of extra bodywork. Don’t worry though, as it won’t be invading streets near you anytime soon; this is a one-off kit for a customer in Dubai, which sort of explains it. The only way to stand out in Dubai is to have something nobody else has, which is a lot harder than it sounds when every other person is an oil millionaire (or billionaire.)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you tell us, what do you behold here?
