What do you guys make of this?

Looks very aggressive (in a good way). I've looked at wide body / arch kits before. They are very few and far between. You'll need to be sure about the result you're after, as the arches will need cutting to achieve this look.
At the end of the day, I'd say tubbing is a cheaper way of getting wider tyres.

It's the 'works' look - and if you've taken a keen interest in works competition vehicles, you'll know that 95% of them look shyte up close.
Saw this on LS1GTO a few weeks ago. The arches, well, I dno, I sort of like them as part of the whole 'racecar' guise, but unfortunately the Pontiac front end that the yanks got is just so horrifically ugly, that even SAP grill vents and an SAP 'fender' can't mask the fact that basically, they ruined the nose with their fat, parrot nosed soft ass family front end...
It makes me a little sick every time I see one.
The front arch sort of works as it reaches up to that crease and thus looks ALMOST like it is an intentional part of the design (albeit 'racecar' thanks to the rivets). The problem is that crease is so high above the rear arch, that just bolting on an arch extension down there looks very tacked on. You'd need to cut the body above the arch up to that crease, and actually smoothly flare it all out, but then I think you'd end up with a very fat looking rear end.
It's something different though, and I bet it looks pretty tough in person. You can also never go wrong with white letter tyres
