Road Trip in Aston
We did a 230 mile road trip from Cave Creek to Yarnell to Prescott and back on HWY 17 Wednesday. One of the most beautiful stretches of unoccupied mountain switchbacks I have ever driven was between Yarnell and Prescott. Turns out that my car has H&R springe and wheel spacers(not certain of thickness). Absolutely no rubbing and car felt very neutral. I left the traction control on so no tail out stuff (long way down on passenger side) but VERY easy and predictable, see my signature below for a reference to my other car experiences. Overall I think that I got extremely lucky to find beauty and the exact mods that I would have done anyway.Taking it as my ride today to Bonham's and Gooding to watch the really expensive cars in auction preview!
Good to see so much consistency in drivers' feedback on the driveability of this car...with how good it looks, I still can't get over how nice it also seems to drive on curvy roads. Appreciate the input Maple Valley and..awesome ride. Btw, what front splitter is that? Looks sweet...
Someone mentioned that it is from RSC, painted body color. I may add the corresponding rear lip in the near future (probably paint body color too). I do not have navigation but it sure would be nice to add a small screen for a back up camera somewhere tactful.
I have done aftermarket Nav in my Porsche, Ferrari and SL55 and in each case there was an option to add a front camera (and I did on each car) which would be uber cool on the Aston as the front is hard to judge distance from parking curbs, I am only backing in for now

Yea I saw the RSC front lip and it looks the same as yours. Their rear lip is also on my shopping list...right after finding myself the actual car.
I also generally like rear diffusers too, but just not really feeling theirs. Maybe there's another option for that piece.
Front lip cameras would be sweet..saw the OEM options for the new C7 Z06..love it. Now we just need wheel well cameras for curb rash prevention

Your car looks awesome. I have a meteorite silver V8V, what is your official color? The sills and splitter give it a nice aggressive look. Are your wheels powder coated gun metal?
