The car will be going into hibernation any day now, just waiting for that first time they decide to salt the roads around here. Ran out of daylight with the pictures as you can see!
Just put on a new billet oil cap, and swapped out a few more exterior lights for LEDs.
Car has VAP headers/secondary cats/X-pipe and tune along with Redpants airbox deletes, VAP lowering springs, 20mm spacers all around, carbon tail light inserts, scrape armor, clear front and rear side markers and smoked rear reflectors, and LED bulbs in high beams, side markers, parking bulbs, license plate bulbs, and interior.
It has taken me quite a few different iterations with the exhaust (5 different setups to be exact) but I think I finally found the perfect sound combo for me.
Not too happy the car will soon be stored for the winter, going to miss driving it! Put about 3k miles on it this year so it definitely got used.
Hoping to install some 21" wheels, glass buttons, and carbon radiator cover over the winter and be done with the modifications.
Glass Buttons are not easy to find - no longer so available affordably from Aston - Morries quoted me over $3K just for the parts via Aston's new pricing! I ended up getting them individually from Aston Martin Bits for about $1100.

Wow, 3K is crazy, are they difficult to install? Oh and that DBS is super nice.

Yea I know they are pricey, I plan to order the kit from astonmartinbits. I'll try to tackle it myself most likely this winter. Did you install yourself?

No, I had Morries Aston Martin do it - the new style (2016-17) dash took them most of the day - they only charged me a few hours, they did not expect it to be a huge job that it was.

Hi, is it a complete new dashboard? I did not know you could swap from the earlier versions. How does it look finished?
No - same ski slope panel the car came with, typically not a fan of carbon fiber, but the weave in the panel has a gold trim to it matching the Sahara tan interior. On the older ski-slopes (prior to 2016), the radio was separate and the switch change was a lot easier. In the newer ones there is a lot more attached physically to the panel that needs to be removed to access the switches making it a real pain to accomplish. This is what it looks like afterwards:

Hi,
Apologies for reviving an old thread. Great looking DBS. Your wheel spacing looks spot on to me with the 20mms all road. You've inspired me to do the same on mine, however I have different stock wheels and wonder whether the offsets/ widths are different to yours and therefore I'd need different spacers?
