Bought my wife a GTS vs my DBS ...would like more CF

Wife daily’s a G4x4 and I daily a RR SVR. Love them but like to switch it up with a sports car sometimes. So I recently picked up a 2011 AM DBS (my 4th Aston) and she wanted a sports car...hence the recent GTS addition. I got a chance to drive it and I was pleasantly surprised! This car is fast as *****! Much more quicker than my DBS, more muscular in design and better handling. I’m thinking I should trade her!
The only thing I’d like more of is CF in the interior - such as the center console and/or air vents...anyone know where to source these?
also considering front CF splitter and rear diffuser.
Love the car!

If you ask me the Aston is much.....MUCH 'sexier' than the GTS....I mean hot damn, they might not be the fastest.......but they look SO good! I've always admired AM's!!

You can take the existing ones and do the CF overlay. I know a few places in case that's the route you want to take.

A luethen body kit would look great on outside. Rear diffuser is more stock looking and not as loud as others.

You can do CF skinning instead of overlay for the interior parts.

Yeah, I've priced other interior bits, and been equally surprised by the pricing. They wanted $500+ per speaker cover....

If all else fails, you can have a shop vinyl wrap them.
