Don't get me wrong. I'd love for my new car to be a limited edition. That being said, a limited edition of a limited production exotic car isn't that much more unique.
Nope, you're right. I looked around and it's "special" but not limited. My bad

No delivery date yet, but I'm getting daily updates. Last update on Friday, May 23, 2014 indicated the Under Tray was fitted.

C-OF-O has issued, which indicates the car has a manufacture date of May 19, 2014.

Sounds like you're getting close then since the under tray is installed after the marriage.

Yes, I'm do agree that I'm close. Taking into account shipping, I'm anticipating June to early July delivery.

I am scratching worse than a junkie at this point!! The anticipation is eating me raw!!!

I'd see a Dr. about that. Could be contagious. Hope it's not a STD.

Thanks for the concern. I do believe it's a brain affliction.

Sorry, no price was given. I contacted Aston and asked to have them added. My original order was simply for the black ones. I asked to have them switched to the Carbon Fiber tips when I saw them in the GT brochure.
What did it cost for how you set it up? Im curious, because If I looked a this list and just wanted the Vantage S, but with all this GT flare, and didn't care about the outrageous bolt ons, I think the option list might only be about $10k , so $110k for the GT, with stereo, wheels, cruise control, and a couple other little things like heated seats for example.

Sorry, but mine is an S model. I believe the prices for both a GT and S are readily available in this thread.

thanks! and best of luck with your new car

Got some info on the Carbon Exhaust tips. They are not available as a line fit item, ie, Aston will not build the car with them fitted, but they are available through regular Parts supply. RRP is $1083.68 (at today's XR) and estimated fit time is 2.5 hours.

Parcel shelf similarly is $2771.72, dealer-fit item.

Aston announced yesterday that they will be racing two 2015 Vantage GTs in this year's 24Hr Nürburgring race. One of the cars will be co-driven by Dr. Ulrich Bez and the other by Chris Harris! (I'm more excited about the latter)
