Did they relocate the screen into the cupholders ? Looks like a lot of customization on that cat.

Evidently someone likes '10-up XKRs but only if it's an Aston.

Relocated it and then added an additional screen where the stocker should be. Ridicrick did something similar. It'd be interesting to see how the in-dash screen integrates.

yikes. Lots of mods and pretty pricey for a 2009. You can get a low miles 5.0 XKR for less than that.

sorry, heavy customization done by other people scare me

Thanks - I needed that! When I read that ad I LMAO!

Anyone who believes that dealer's claim that it was not involved in an accident must also believe in the Tooth Fairy! Why spend the big bucks on a base XK to replace the front end with the aftermarket Aston Martin-look kit?

Did you notice that an18K Rolex Presidential is included as part of the "Aston Tribute" Package? It's a very special Rolex because it's covered in genuine 18K gold plating.

That asking price is ludicrous; there's no adaptive cruise and it's not even an XKR! Butchering a Jaguar into a FrankenAssguar makes it worth less, not more, regardless of how much $$$ was put into it and how it now looks. But there's probably some Bozo out there who loves the replica Aston look and doesn't really understand what he just bought. Lack of cupholders knocks $5K off the price, and

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I like the look. It wouldn't be something I would buy, but I think it looks good. As to price, it does seem high. And I also would be wary of so many mods. But someone will buy it.

Agree, mods are fine but for yourself only. Regardless of how much was put into it the price is way over the top for a non-SC model at least.
Bottom line in my book, it is ok to mod but make them reversable if you intend to sell in the future. This one is just not my cup of tea, but hey, what ever floats you boat.

I must admit I like the Aston Martin real front end but this look somewhat like a mustache. So it is funny looking compared to the original.

From just appearance I like the car, even though not my taste. but as others have already mentioned it is overpriced, IMO by about 8k-10k

I don't mind the Aston Martin front end actually. Who makes that body kit? The side skirts not such a fan of. If it were all white with stock wheels it would be a lot more interesting to me.

But that would eliminate the Orca package.

I thought I was going to die laughing when I saw that front end. Looks like a cross eyed Thomas the train wearing a fake mustache. Too funny
