DB9 Carpet Finisher
DB9 Carpet Finisher, for some reason I can’t fathom some DB9s came with front carpet finishers and some don’t. As far as I can tell these right angled finishers bolt down just inside of the seat rails. Mine 2006 DB9 did not have these finishers and the carpet had already ripped on the passenger side….

The Audio system although it sounds good is fiddly to use and can only use AM/FM radio or CDs….
Upgraded Aston Martin Headlights
Upgraded Aston Martin Headlights. Upgraded I found the stock DB9 headlights to be pretty awful, they consist of a dipped beam HID projector and a full beam halogen projector, in addition at the front of the lights are a blue sidelight with the orange indicator bulb behind it. The DB9 is a fairly fast car…
