Yummy, your Aston came in today
These bad booys stopped byt the shop yesterday. The Challenger is getting custom built wheels, Long tubes, Corsa Catback, Intake, and a tune. The Aston is getting Custom 3 piece wheels made, custom headers built by us, full exhaust and some carbon fiber work doen. I got to drive the Aston with the owner. It's not the fastest kid on the block, but all the gawkers and broken necks let me know that it s the best looking.

Is it me, or does the AM have two calipers on each wheel for the brakes in the rear?

It's just you. The single caliper is black, those two silver things you see are part of the suspension.

Both cars are sick. God I wish I had incredible amounts of money to splurg on modding my already stupid fast cars. Sigh.

I think that's the first time I see an Aston with the windows tinted. Looks good.
I can only imagine how hot a black Vanquish or better yet, a DBS would look with 5%.

I hate the tint cutout for the 3rd brake light on the challenger.

One might be for the brake caliper itself while the other is for the parking brake? Either way, sweet cars!

it makes the car look cheap its getting "custom built wheels, plus i/h/e/t" the factory look/feel will be gone, my original suggestion stands.

I actually like the spoiler, plus the SRT team designed most of the aero parts with downforce in mind, they actually tested it. It looks kinda weird when its painted, and with it off, it looks too plain.



I think the matte black spoiler accents the black panel around the tail lights nicely. What I DON'T like is how the stripes go around the "horns" badge on the front, wtf? Shoulda just left it off and made a continuous stripe.
