The Build

500+
HORSE
POWER.

A 2023 Ford Explorer ST running a 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost, tuned on 93 octane, backed by a full 3" Thermal R&D exhaust, CVFab downpipes, S&B intake, and a custom 2400W peak audio build. Lowered on H&R springs, planted with HSF and Steeda chassis work throughout. Every mod on this car was chosen with intention.

615 is Nashville's area code, and a tribute. This build is partly in honor of my grandfather, a 28-year Metro Nashville Police officer who worked three jobs his whole life for his family, helped raise me, and never needed recognition for any of it. He lived selflessly and led by example. A Ford man his whole life. In his later years, it was always an Explorer. This one was built for both of us.

Nashville-born, Bay Area-based. Five years in the California car scene, now running @curated_aspect alongside my partner, documenting builds, journeys, and the people behind them.

The Vehicle

BUILT TO
PERFORM.

3.0L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost. 500+ horsepower. AWD. Lowered on H&R springs, tuned on 93 octane, with a full 3" exhaust and chassis work throughout. The Explorer ST isn't a platform people expect to see built like this. That's what makes it work.

The Standard

WHY IT
MATTERS.

500+ horsepower in a platform nobody expects. Every mod selected with purpose, every brand on this car earning its place. The build is the statement. The story behind it is why the standard doesn't move.

01
The Names

615 is Nashville's area code — the brand behind the build. White Noise is the build itself: Star White on the outside, chaos underneath. Together they carry a tribute to my grandfather, a 28-year Metro Nashville Police officer who worked three jobs, never asked for recognition, and gave everything to the people around him. Average-looking. Ran with the best of them.

02
Nashville → Bay Area

Born and raised in Nashville. Five years in the Bay Area. The car community here found me naturally, the way it does when you genuinely love the culture rather than just showing up for the clout.

03
@Curated Aspect

My partner and I run @curated_aspect, documenting builds and journeys, ours and other folks'. Every build has a story. We just make sure it gets told. The passion people pour into their cars deserves to be captured right.

04
OEM+ Philosophy

Nothing was added for the sake of adding. Every mod integrates with factory architecture. It reads stock to those who don't know. Unmistakable to those who do.

In Motion
Every road. Same standard.

Content & Community

THE
COMMUNITY.

My partner and I run @curated_aspect. Not a media company, just two people who love this culture and want to document it honestly. Our builds, other folks' builds, the stories behind the cars and the people who build them. Because the passion people put into this deserves more than a quick scroll.

In Motion
Performance without announcement.
The Build

THE
ROSTER

Every brand listed here is physically on the car. These products earned their place through performance. That's the only credential that matters.

No paperwork.
Just performance.
