Yup, you have a good eye . Once a person has gone through the process of installing a body kit, their eye becomes trained to identify these kinds of fitment problems. Even in the hands of a skilled professional, these kits can be a nightmare to get right . Not to mention, significant cost overruns in time and labor .

Love it! Most non-OEM bumpers are a bit out there, but this looks modern, simple and like it would integrate well with the rest of the car when stock. Nice1

I love the rear bumper without bumperrets..
Is there a way to remove bumperrets on stock rear bumper?

ps, notice that the stripes down the side have been photoshopped in afterwards (compare the two images and find 10 differences ...); begs the question if other aspects of the images have been modified as well ...

I thought that too, I do like the look of the rear bumper but it it seems to be photoshopped quite a bit, check out above the exhaust something doesn't look quite right.
The front bumper treatment is different to most others I have seen but personally I would prefer less angular line around the centre grill.

But thats just my taste

The dividers in the front grill area are too angular and does not complement the rest of the 986's curves. It's not bad but it looks like an obvious afterthought.

YEah, I picked up on that, too. Not perfect, but still nice enough IMO to look good.
