■INSPIRATION AND STRATEGY
In order to inform the design language of the body kit, classic Mopar vehicles as well as Ram’s current design language were studied in detail. These two items acted as a base for the body kit's overall visual composition, later sprinkling in details inspired by Black Widow’s edginess to create a new design language that was fresh for Black Widow, yet familiar to Ram and Dodge performance enthusiasts.

■KEY RESEARCH TAKEAWAYS
OEM Dodge / Ram - Oval in nature, rectilinear shapes have some level of minute curvature, extreme or hyper-dynamic lines / surface transitions not often seen.
MOPAR and classic Dodge performance - Large, slabby surfaces, simple graphics with bold, contrasting colors. Historically known for power-specific upgrades, has more of a drag-strip performance legacy than road racing legacy.
Black Widow - Sharp, flashy, aggressive in branding details. Additional components to vehicles often reference hexagonal shapes and hard angles. Surface transitions in details generally extreme.
