Everything I make is custom so mine are typically much deeper than the OEM version and are meaningfully lighter than as well.

These look beautiful. Could you dm me pricing for 19x10.5 square setup in a brushed clear finish?

MP HAS kit. Well worth the $2,820 port-installed price of admission.

This car is gorgeous. I’m trying to figure out the hood scoops/bulges. Am I seeing a reflection, illusion, new hood, hood decals…or something else?

Whats the rubbing like, since you're on 20" fronts with Pirellis, and spacers?

HORRENDOUS. I even rub slightly at half-lock going forward. LOL. I’ve seen all the solutions out there but as insane as it may sound, I've learned to live with it and it doesn't really bother me anymore. I just try to avoid full lock in either direction. Somehow, the little slats are still intact. But yeah, it rubs like a MF.

That is hilarious but I’m sure many of us can relate. I have 20s and Michelins so maybe not as bad. I’ve had the replacement pieces for the fins in the fender liner but after a minute you do kind of get used to it. I need to just get it done but at the same time I don’t think about it until I hear the magic sound.

It can be disturbing. Especially if you don't expect it. I don't mind the Pirellis but may switch to Michellins in the future just to alleviate some of that.

Yeah, because you definitely don't want to go back to 19/20. The 20/20 looks amazing. My 1000M in 20/21, would probably look better in 20/20. Although, at some angles, they look fine.

That looks like an Alpha-N hood.
