If you actually custom fabricated an that may be kind of cool, but if it's just another exhaust tip welded below the other two... well then it's a bit cheezy in my book.

Welcome to the board!

Kirk
Thank you for the opinion
Im a architecture designer in SF, I love to do my own design
Most of the works I done by myself I custom made my straight triple exhaust, the concept was from LEXUS LFA (but too loud)

The front bumper is GT3 RS bumper and I modified the opening by my own and combine with AUDI S4 Lip.

The rear lower diffuser I made by my own too try to give it some sport looks

Those two vents on my trunk has two soft pipes under it and goes into my engine base.

Your 986 is real Gembella looks! so....cool Love it!!
Mine just a home made project

This is the GT3 RS front bumper for the 996/986. I don't think that's what you put on your car... modified or not.

What your front bumper looks like to me is a 996 bumper with turbo-style headlights like Jeph's bumper in the attached picture. The contour and shape of the radiator openings is the same. I'm assuming then that you modified the headlight cutouts to work with your 986 lights and added a lip at the bottom. It looks nice either way. I like what you've done to the bumper. Obviously you have some very good fabrication skills.
