Very classic color combo. What are the options?

Thanks guys! I'm beyond happy with it. It became available, and I was ready. I quickly did as much research as I could, but am still learning obviously. Pretty well documented and very well serviced/cared for.

She's a 2007. Titanium Silver, Phantom Grey interior with coarse silver stitching. 27k miles, 6-spd (of course)

Options include:
Premium Audio
HID Headlights - W&L
Navigation
Cruise Control
Red Calipers
19" wheels
Memory Seats
Door opener + Auto Dim Mirror
Aston installed iPod integration (this was a surprise upon delivery!)


Things it needs:

Front tires - still wearing original RE050A's from November '06! (Gotta go)
Rear Hatch struts - Ordered from Redpants yesterday
Stubby antenna - (going on a lift) Ordered from Redpants yesterday
Gears stripped on Nav screen - honestly, I probably won't worry about that for awhile.

I've yet to get a window sticker for it. I believe AM San Diego sold it new, but the salesperson I talked to there couldn't seem to access the window sticker. I'd really like to obtain that if possible.

I feel like I've learned a lot about these cars during my quest to find one, but now that I have one in front of me, the fun begins. The push for more knowledge to overcome any intimidation is huge. I'm very thankful I found this forum full of helpful and informative members!

I wasn't too sure about the Phantom Grey color, but in person it's awesome. Very much preferred to black.

Also, can anyone tell me what FSA:163 was, and what it entailed? From the date, it was obviously performed during the warranty period.

Thanks!

I am sure someone here can pull the build sheet if you give them your VIN.

Thanks for your order, it's already shipped out

I have a few sets of the nav gears in stock, I just completely forgot to post a listing for them!

FSA:163 is to fix the issue of the fuel filler flap sticking.

I've got Phantom Grey with silver stitching in my grey car, and Obsidian Black with red stitching in my red car. Very different looks for sure - I prefer the Phantom Grey. The one thing I really like about the red car is that it has a black headliner, while the grey car has a lighter one. There's nothing wrong with the lighter headliner, but the black looks soooo good.

Thank you handyman, I actually do have the build sheet, but am looking to obtain the window sticker. As I understand it, only the selling dealer can reproduce one? Someone please correct me if there's an alternate source, but I'll probably just call back to AM San Diego and try another associate there.

Awesome! Thanks, Rich!

The DIY on your site is phenomenal by the way, cheers!

You can request your car's build sheet from the selling dealer to be sure, pictures on monitors can be deceiving.

My steering wheel is obsidian black.

Well the build sheet I just received says mine is indeed obsidian black, looks nearly identical to your interior though... build sheet also says mine is a year 2010.5 which I didn't know existed, I always thought that there were 2012.5's and such but not a 2010. The book didn't cover differences there IIRC

Mine is a 2010.5. Obsidian. Never seen the gray in person, I'm sure it's just as nice, especially in beautiful condition like that.
