The wrap does hold up to road rash well. I have a couple panels being replaced, then whole car PPF. There's no touch up paint for wraps, so small nice show up. I found a PPF that will maintain the Satin finish. Getting ceramic over that.

I did jams but not under hood. Though I did do the engine braces. Calipers are painted.

 

So, did they remove the doors in order to wrap the jambs? How did they deal with the hinges? I guess my real question is how much disassembly did they do and did it go back together right??

You can do the door jams but it'll cost more. I wrapped my 911 but I didn't do the door jams since my car was originally black. It looked normal when the doors opened.

 

Yes they took the doors off. The difference in a decent wrap and epic wrap is all in the payroll. I could have wrapped the car for $3K with out jams, with out pulling the side vents, with out pulling the front and rear bumpers etc... Paid just over 5K and results are great. Only complaint is the durability of the wrap to small stone chips. Spend the extra for complete ppf after

I have a new Maxton front bumper, grill and splitter arriving tomorrow that will be wrapped then swapped out. Original bumper got scrapped as the car is lowered. Tore up some of the wrap. Excuse to modify the car again.

 

The only two Astons I’ve seen in St Augustine are my own and a Vanquish II that belonged to some snooty guy - he scowled at me and rolled his window up when I pulled up next to him and waved. Love the color on yours!

Nobody really seems to notice mine, which is the way I like it. I’d say half the attention it gets is positive, and half intensely negative from the rural Florida F150 meth head crowd.

 

nice looking... several of us in ne/ central Florida.

 

That's funny. I was at a red light in Weston, MA. Very local town kind of road in my dark blue V8V. Right next to me at the light is older guy in the same color blue DB7 and couldn't turn his head to save his life. I know he saw me. Later that year I joined AMOC and at a club pub night, someone looked just liked him and I asked if that was his car... It was not, he was getting a DB7 in a couple of weeks as a family gift.

 

Zero attention here in Palm Beach. I pass at least 3 AMs just driving to the gym everyday. Yesterday in the Publix supermarket lot besides my Vantage there was a DB11, a McLaren 720s, a Porsche TurboS, a Lambo Huracan, a Ferrari California and 812 Superfast, a new Vette and 2 Maser GTs in addition to a Cullinan and Bentayaga. Just going to the grocery store, or driving through the little town, is like going to a Cars and Coffee. But when I'm back in Massachusetts the Vantage gets as much attention as my Ferrari as there are so few of each on the road.

 

Texas - Daily Drive V8V

Attention appears to be almost 0

I also have a Lotus Elise attention is more like an 8

 

In Scottsdale there are a lot of high end cars always around. However, my 2020 vantage gets a lot of attention. Probably due to it's rarity. I have only seen 2 others around. I must say I get the most attention from Ferrari owners. Go figure.

 

I’m not far from you. I’m in Saint Johns and have a tungsten silver V8Vantage GTS. There is another owner her in Saint Johns that has a silver 2015 DB9.

 

if one's aston isn't getting the attention it deserves, move to a low-rent neighborhood, like me. mine gets plenty of attention, but i often wonder if people are admiring the beautiful paint job or that the paint on the body panels match.

 

Last year I had our 2008 green Aston at Cars and Coffee at the Concours at Amelia. It had a crowd around it all day. It was the only Aston Martin at the event.

 

I went to the Cars and Coffee event at Amelia Island last Saturday. I think I saw only 2 Astons. A DBS and a Vantage .

 

Took mine to the Duval Kids for Cancer car show at World Golf Village 2 weeks ago. Hundreds of people
of which maybe 20 knew what it was. Most people called it an Austin Martin. Any way it won best of show.
fun to let some of the kids sit behind the wheel....
