Behold!
After 393 days, (two days short of thirteen months) the endangered Aero Spec Racing Red-throat Hooded Scoopy shows itself.

I've never waited this long for a part before and won’t again.

Many thanks to Whoskyle for setting the hen on the egg until hatched.

I’ll install tomorrow as long Auto-X day ending with a complete ‘warsh’. ?

This is stunningly beautiful!!! Not sure it's worth the wait at the price though.

I'll often trade one for the other - i.e. buying locally in person at a higher price to avoid a wait, or ordering on Amazon at a cheaper price. Or if you're really brave, AliExpress/DHGate offer fantastic value with agonizing wait times.

That being said.... I'm going to attempt a forged carbon theme with this car and I will likely be at the mercy of long wait times and high prices as most will be custom order.

275's... I know the outgoing RT615K's ran wide, don't know much about the RT660. Let us know how these fit.

nope. lowered on swift springs with no fender work and had zero rubbing with the 18x9.5 +45 with 265s. a 275 would have probably cleared without rubbing too.
The tires im running are the same tires as i just got but in 265s.

Thank you for prompt answer sir! What brand & model tires did you choose twice though? Only reason asking is not entiresame between makers.

Eibach Pro springs here, I think 265/35-19 AOK, 275 sketchy.

Anxious to see your roll results and 275s.

Falken RT615K+.
The new RT660 are grippier but for the driving i do, i didnt feel it was necessarily for me to spend that extra on tires.

Forged carbon you say? It's gonna look nice. Only wait time I had was waiting for Amazon to deliver the vinyl. Lol! I'm sure the real thing is going to be MUCH better! But this suited my needs just fine.

Very nice tire choice. The RT615K only goes up to 18”, not 19”.

Just for kicks if replacing my 500 UTQG Goodyear A/S Exhilirate w/Falken RT660s UTQG 200 (OEM Conti Contact 6 UTQG 250).

AHHHHHH THIS IS GORGEOUS!!! Fantastic work man!!

Thank you for sharing. I really dig this, seeing it done up is awesome. Hopefully I'll be the only Boost Blue with the forged theme as you beat me to it! :bow:

How is the vinyl itself? I was thinking about getting some for now to hold me over and do the ugly faux carbon inside, the hood scoop, door handles, etc. Is it the Vvivid stuff you can find on Amazon? Vvivid is not the easiest to work with, just did my hood scoop last night and it was a b*tch.

Yeah, it's it's vvivid one from Amazon. Its really nice and thick. Only parts that really gave me trouble was the mirrors cuz I was trying to do it all in one piece, but ended up just doing a splice on the edge closest to the car, and because of the pattern, you can't notice it unless you looking for it. Other than that, I just watched a bunch of vids on YouTube and went for it. I wanna do my hood, but I think it might be too much for my liking. It should show up awesome on your blue! On my black, you almost have to be looking for it in some lighting.
As of now I have the red oem grille trim done, the red oem lower door trim done, the red oem mirrors done, redid all the interior pieces, the gas door, and the middle upper spoiler. Good thing is if I ever get tired of it, I just pull it off and go back all red. Lol! The interior was the biggest change. Gets rid of that grayish black fake carbon from factory for a darker black different version of carbon.

Yeah, it's a bunch of stupid stuff cuz it really pissed off the local civic group. Every time they see me they fuss that I need to take it off my windshield. Told them when they pay my car note, I'll take it off. Lol! The main one that fussed about my last sticker has all bolt on performance parts that he paid a shop to install. So I mess with him about how did he build it when someone else did the work? Lol!
