New member: 2004 DB9 Caspian Blue w cream truffle leather
Agree Chris! I'm pretty pleased with the result although I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet; car is in transit as we speak and due to arrive end of this month. Glad at the same time it's fully reversible.
Ski-Slope Mod
Got my hands on some 3M 1080 BR201 'brushed' aluminium Vinyl to cover my wood-veneer ski-slope. 2hrs of fiddling later the result is better then I expected! The car's interior does look 10 years younger and the good thing on top of that is that its a fully reversible process.
Me is a happy bunny! [apart from the slight misalignment of the slope vs the radio, to be further investigated..]

I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that I like the DBS-rear-view look over the DB9's: the latter being a bit too feminine, although MY13's redesigned diffuser is a much better improvement.
I therefore ordered myself a DBS-look spoiler, Mansory style, but without the quad-exhaust ends/tips. I'm keeping my round ones for sure. Started last week removing the old rear bumper carefully and today trial fitted the new-style. Plan to spray the bumper in blue with the diffuser in matte-black-finish.
Combined with the Kahn-lip I think it'll look awesome. For sure a lot more masculine!

Noticed my last post in this thread dates from mid-October; it has taken me 3 month to finalize the rear-bumper mod with the final fitting of it yesterday. I've lost count re the trial-fitting; taking-off and refitting over and over again but after lots of hard work picked-up all from the paint-shop yesterday and straight-out fitted it. Turned-out beautiful!
Next to do: fitting the 23mm spacer at the back and 18mm spacer at the front.

Great looking car and nice to see how the spoiler lip looks as I am thinking of getting one for my car as well. I'm just not sure whether to go for a carbon fibre one from VCollection or a painted one from Khan.
Would love to see more pics.

Here some more pictures. Bear in mind that the Khan lip comes hollow and as a raw mold: I had the body shop to fill it up to give it rigidity. It took hours to make it properly fit. End result is great IMHO.
Looking good! Did the rest of the interior go in with the half cage or did you leave it out? Might not look bad with some truffle Alcantara just to cover up the bare panels, rather than putting the (now useless) rear seats back in.
