exactly how I meant to this look like vs exactly what I meant to this look like

Both phrases are incorrect. The correct phrase should be 'exactly how I meant this to look like.' The use of 'how' is appropriate when asking about the manner or way something was done, while 'what' is used to ask about the specific thing or idea intended.
