Nice!

ever think about blocking out that red stripe that comes off the taillight? Always drove me crazy. Maybe like a vinyl wrap that matches your paint to be wrapped and tucked around the three sides of the red stripe. End result would make the rear end look very Aston like. And if you order additional vinyl you could play around with wrapping the chrome pieces upfront. Just a thought.

I understand where you guys are coming from as it seems to be a love it or hate it feature on the car, I actually like it. It was on the concept car and they carried it over when most manufactures wouldn't. I agree it's odd, but I feel like if I block it out I will be removing the cars stinger haha

Do they blink with the turn signals? Also have you seen the sequential rear reflector mod?

No, they're nothing more than a reflector.

Yes I've seen the sequential mod, it looks pretty cool, I just don't like that you have to hack up the factory wires when installing it.

So turns out I'm wrong, the reflector does have a small led in part of it but most of it just functions as a reflector.

Just finished setting her up for winter duty. It wont be my #1 winter car as we have a CRV but it will still be on the road at least once a week.

Wash, claybar, wax, winter wheel package.



Mothers Speedclay 2.0 is amazing if anyone hasn't tried it yet.

Haha, well the car is AWD with dynamic torque vectoring so it's more of a grip and go than a smoky burnout type of car. I'll leave that to the Charger and Mustang guys.

I haven't posted for a while but I'm still loving this car, it hasnt gotten boring or stale to drive at all. Since my last post I've added:
EIbach front sway bar
20mm rear spacers
BMS pedal tuner
Girodisc front street pads
M&S rear diffuser

and my favourite mod Element 6 CF steering wheel:
