If you're near Chicago, make sure to check out SupercarSaturdays.com, if you're not already familiar with those shows.
I look forward to seeing you around!
i went to one of those years back with a friend. I might even still be registered from when I had my z06. I will have to check it out!

That is a good idea. I'll have to look into that. I have a clear bra guy but I have never asked him to do an entire car. I never liked the orange peel look but I'm sure there are better products on the market.

Haha I always said the same. I should post my YouTube link so you all can really see how clean the paint is. It was stunning.

Thank you!

I knew when I saw this car I would want those upgrades eventually unless I saved for a newer Vantage S. They give the car that subtle agressive look I desire.

AM Vantage is a real practical exotic (if such term exists...?), IMHO.
Went through car phases of owning BMW M cars, MB AMG's, Porsche 911 C2 & Turbo's, Nissan GT-R, Maserati's and Ferrari's but nothing beats Aston Martin in terms of overall package with a perfect blend of performance, luxury, reliability, practicality, style, fit-n-finish, heritage and prestige. It's truly an exotic that is practical and easy to drive/use as a daily driver.
I'll be driving my car while you black car aficionados work on keeping them clean.
Half the fun is working on your own car. Keeps the mileage off at least
I always say, if your passion/hobby or job is a detailer/Paint Correction specialist then a black car is the way to go. Once perfected, its fairly easy to keep that way. Albeit not as easy as silver or white. I will say, on those, I tend to NOT keep them up as well, just because nothing shows hardly and they still look good.
Mathman---- Dark green can or could be just as bad as black.

I put 10k miles on the car in the past year. Cars are built to be driven.
My daily is black, and my second 300ZX Twin Turbo was black... Alloro Green isn't even in the same league of care as black.
welcome and congrats. i believe this car's previous owner was/is on 6speed as well as i know i've seen those exact same pictures. awesome options on it, especially jealous of that rear diffuser.
I love the mods that were done to this 06, it looks fantastic!
and don't listen to these chumps who can't appreciate a nice black paint job and the work involved!
Thank You.
This is why I jumped on the car when I saw it. I knew that I wanted to do the same mods so why not get the car with them already installed for a fraction of the price. I was not picky on color though I will admit I was avoiding black originally. This car has been so exceptionally maintained from the complete service records down to the interior. The interior speaks for itself. It is probably one of the best looking ones I have seen.

Thanks. He might be. The gentlemen I bought it from is in Georgia. He had this car for about a year but needs to relocate. She is a beautiful example.
