LOL, I already had all that stuff......I just needed the car. The Aston wasn't in my budget so the R with a silver / black theme was just right. Funny, even though I am a proud American I just realized last night now I have three things British.... F type R check.....Range Rover Sport check.... Bull Terrier check ! I guess I've unintentionally gone crazy for England.

Yeah, this is my second silver car and you can go 2.5 weeks in California and this color still looks clean ! After 5 black cars I was ready to go back to something easy to take care of. I want to spend less time detailing and more time driving !

I was speaking specifically of the black side and front ground effects trim being black on the Aston. My white ones get dirty quickly.

Thanks for the info on how TAG does them. It is much less than others for similar detail.

When I asked about tint, I was thinking about a light tint around 40% just to take a little glare away and unify the look a bit more.

I have lighter tint on both my cars and it works well to tone down the sunlight without hurting visibility or getting second looks from law enforcement.

Nice, you're right, the other company did not R/R the calipers. I can certainly see where the added expense is. That's a huge job.
