Jaime, unboxing those bad boys will be like Christmas when you were a little kid for sure.

And I thought 345's on the back of my girl were wide.

I've purchased 6 sets of wheels from Terrance and there has been no one better to deal with. He's become a close friend and always enjoy working with him.

I think you are right Mark, I'm super excited. Yes, it's insane the amount of tire these rear quarters can eat.

This was my second experience with Terrence and he was great. I must say, SIX sets of wheels.... wow, you hold the crown when it comes to returning customer.

I have received my Aerodynamica One-Piece Carbon Fiber Uprights, by BTI. I originally got in on the first release, but ended up waiting for these.

Gotta love the "Made in the USA" and his engraved signature on the bottom

These are production version 2. Same design as ones you may have previously seen, but these are using new billet molds and now using House of Kolor clear-coat. End result is absolutely beautiful.

Working with Brett was one of the best customer service experiences I have been a part of. Great guy with a strong desire for perfection. I could not be happier.

I took some photos (with my potato phone) throughout the install today and thought I would share. Hoping to get some professional photos taken in the next two weeks when the new wheels go on, but this will give you an idea how nice they look. These + wide body = YUM.

Mui beuno. They look great on your car JMEO. Would you say you can notice a difference between the new clear coat and the one used on the previous generation? Prepare yourself for my compliments on your car. The BTI uprights get the second most comments on mine, after the CF fenders.....at least until I open up the hood

The one thing I can say is they are smooth with no pits. I’m not sure if this is due to the new molds, the new clear coat, or the combination of the two.

I often state the top five favorite things about my car and these have made the top five for sure. In no particular order I’d say these, the wide body, the hood, the quarter windows, and my new wheels.

I am in love with the way all these things come together.

Just keeps getting better and better. I have no words. Gorgeous.

The wheels deliver today. Boy, @50 Deep 's peeps sure do package these well. Last time I purchased Siggies, the tires were mounted and balanced before shipping to me, so I didn't get to see the care taken. Nicely done.

Game on Garth!

Good lawd!

I just wanted to take a minute to talk about something that is usually not discussed, at least not by me in my experience: Shelby American's warranty.

I have owned my car for just about five years now, and for the last three years, it has been a Shelby American GT500. Twice, I have had warranty-related issues pop up. Both times, Shelby American has blown me away with how they handled these situations.

The first issue was mechanical, and the second was related to the body/paint. Each time, I was put in contact with a specialist who handled the specific issue, and these people have been the absolute nicest I’ve ever dealt with.

For the mechanical issue, they worked with the dealer of my choice and resolved the problem flawlessly. For the body/paint issue, they did the same with the auto body shop of my choice.

I don’t recall ever reading about these kinds of experiences, so I thought I’d mention it. From day one, I’ve felt like I was treated exceptionally. And in times of need, it’s reassuring to know that exceptional service continues. Well done, Shelby American!
