Looks good. I think I would have put some lipstick on her (maybe I place of the strip).

Looks amazing. Did they do the door, hood and trunk jams also?

The design is modeled on the new Vantage AMR scheme, no lipstick.

I did not want the car disassembled, so no. They did an amazing job blending in/hiding the seams.

looks great, my vantage is tungsten, my first choice colour would have been white,
do you have any pics with door open,hood up etc .just to see what the colour transition looks like..
i might have to go with a wrap...

Really nicely done, looks great.

I assume its much more affordable to have them not disassemble the car? How much so?

I can't be specific since I didn't want the car disassembled anyway, so I didn't get a quote for that. But I have seen prices where the car is disassembled in the $6K realm, and I paid only about half of that. The price also depends a lot on the original colour of the vehicle and the colour of the wrap.

I'm wondering if this is an endeavor that I can do myself over the winter... getting real sick of the swirlies that my car wash puts on my black car... Don't really feel like paying for a damn detail every time it gets dirty (which is about 5 minutes) and I can't wash my car at home which sucks (city livin')

materials would be about 500-700 bucks... (I'd save a hell of a lot on car washes to make up for it, right?) now to pick a color that would look good, any ideas?

I did the wrap on the Aston after I was so pleased with the result of a wrap on another car, which was black and I was sick of washing/detailing it every 5 minutes. These wraps also have a ceramic coating added, which a. prevents anything sticking to them, and b. makes it really easy to clean with some quick detail and a soft cloth (but they hardly ever need it). So from that perspective, going with a wrap will certainly cut down on the effort you are expending keeping the black car clean.

But as for doing it yourself, hmm... it's a skilled process...
