I don't know if I love it or hate it. I guess it can be both. The rear end looks cool with the wide tyres poking out of the bottom of the arch extensions. I'm not a big fan of linerless arches though as it cheapens the look for me, and theres a bit too much going on with that forged carbon looking stuff on the front wheel arch.

I've seen a couple of cars with this body kit running stupid amounts of camber 2mm off the ground. Nice to see one with a decent setup underneath the body work. I wonder what width the tyres are.
 
I like the spoiler but the rest is lost on me. It's a bit of an acquired taste, race car looks and fitment (generally not great) but always fitted to show ponies, wide bodies remind me of the bygone Max Power era, they come across as a bit of a dated look.

Same for me, whichever way someone goes with a car it has to be for a defined reason. OEM+ to improve a few weakness is my preferred these days as a mainly road car and any mods are to improve how it is on the road without compromising usability but if someone is going to the bother of widebody then it almost needs to be full time attack spec and used for that. Otherwise it's for show. The trend for bagging I don't get but I won't as it's a route I'd never go down. There's one black GR86 that's been bagged that's quite clean.
