You mean C6 Z... the C5 Z has it's unique "love it or leave it" FRC profile - that's styling... the AM is just crap..

I concur!
That is a really muscular looking car, no need to screw with the great factory looks with a garish (and flimsy looking) body kit. The car looks great stock, why would you mess that up?

did you rear the description? supposedly this was an official Aston Martin bodykit installed at the request/knowledge of the North American AM executive.
interesting car. not the greatest V8 Aston i've seen....but kind of strangely interesting.

Opps, no I didn't read about it...I'm not interested in buying it.
Either way, its definitely not an improvement over the original design.

It looks like an old trans am race car. If you from a distance I might have thought that was a camaro or something.

I love the Aston Martin V8, but with that bodykit it looks cheap, particularly the front skirt

it looks of you installed it in a friend's garage  This could be the most rare aston, but that body kit looks very very cheap and vulgar. Might be one of the first signs of rice
