Nice car. Check your motor mounts...the tail pipes look a bit droopy.

Good call. They are also not OE exhaust tips for the C4S. Perhaps the car has an aftermarket exhaust installed.

Correct, it has headers and a Fabspeed exhaust, still wouldn't hurt to check motor mounts, it's on my list of stuff to do

Wheels look great in your top 996 photo! Looks like a real *** behind the steering wheel.

Looks great! Is that stock ride height? What size tires are you running?
