Those bumpers are so different from ours. Its hard to say. My knee jerk reaction is tucked in.

Thanks. I am leaning towards tucked also but I will post up once I make more progress

Bringing this idea back. Made a bit of progress but curious about the top. Would like opinions if you think it is better to mold the side pieces directly to the hardtop or incorporate the top strip linking the side pieces together.

alright I decided to mold the side pieces to the top. Currently working on that and a redesign of the rear end. First pick is what it looked like, second pic is the inspiration and 3rd is current progress towards that.

The sunk in tail lights look good.

Nobody is gonna mistake your car from some other 986 thats for sure!! :cheers:

For an enhanced throwback esthetic, ditch the wing!

Outkasted 09-18-2025 04:52 AM

I plan to finish the back without the wing and see how i feel before adding a wing. Plus it wont be the exact same wing i had before if i do put a wing on it.

Qingdao, same can be said for your RX7 build. No one is going to guess that started as a 986.
