...OR maybe I was just messing around in photoshop! ;)

Forgive me for the initial deception.

The truth is, I am working on a design for something totally one-of-a-kind for my truck's aft... And that is what I have come up with so far.

Opinions???

I dig the design idea. Grant Fabrication up in Oroville can build it for you easily. Just shave that tailgate in the process. I wouldn't do the little dip in between the tips though...put them closer together. Look at the WK1 SRT8 Jeep exhaust....and copy that.

I've seen a guy on fb who has the setup. I think that looks cool.

Thanks. Yes, would shave the tailgate.

I agree with the tips closer together, GC and Porsche Boxster style. I need to find a way to add some special design element to it... some sorta of grooves, fins, shapes...
The license plate would need something recessed to hold it and lights, too.

This will definitely take a minute for me to figure out! Lol

You have a good eye, my friend!!! :) You should seen it when I had the shadows of the exhaust tips in the original place... hahahaaaaa! Ok, I'll post it.

Damn it! So I am #2!!! Lol! Is his a 4G? Do you happen to have a pic of his??

Thought about a 1-piece oval exhaust tip instead of the 2 tips in the center? They're easy enough to fabricate if you can't find one you like and then you'd definitely be unique.

I did think about that and I like it, too.

If you haven't noticed I am a die-hard Porsche fanatic... Here again the boxster with single oval tip. :)

I also thought of one, big, round tip. Like 8" diameter, sorta diesel size (Banks monster exhaust for diesels had something like that, IIRC). That might be a little cartoon-ish...

Call me crazy but I'm not a fan, looks too flat in the back. maybe if you add some stuff, fins, curves, etc.. would be interesting to see the final project though.

Here it is with some details.

I lowered the truck a little more too. :)

I definitely do not want it this busy... Just playing with adding a few details to it.

For some strange reason, I kinda like the license plate cutting into the tailgate.
