You make a low six-figure income, have a nice house, family, and a couple of decent cars. You decide it&#8217;s time to treat yourself, and you <em>really</em> want an Aston Martin DB9. You pick one up at your closest Aston dealer and love it. Only months later, Aston Martin announces they&#8217;re going to release the beautiful DBS &#8211; the upgraded DB9 which debuted in the 2006 James Bond movie, <a href="http://www.automoblog.net/2006/06/16/james-bond-cant-drive-the-new-aston-martin/">Casino Royale</a>.</p><p>You don&#8217;t have enough money to buy both, and you&#8217;re really attached to your new DB9. Looks like your only option is to sell the DB9, take the loss, and pony up the cash for the DBS. Or is it?</p><p><img id="image762" src="http://cdn.automoblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/Aston_DB9S_rear.jpg" alt="Aston Martin DB9S by Project Kahn - rear" /></p><p>Thanks to Project Kahn, you can keep the DB9 but have the look of the DBS. For the DB9S, they&#8217;ve created a very authentic DBS body kit that includes two front and two rear valance pieces, side skirts and rear boot lip spoiler, and a set of 20&#8243; Kahn RSV alloy wheels, which are the same wheels used on the DBS prototype.</p><p>While I not normally a fan of mockery of this type, I could certainly understand the frustration of someone in our above situation, and considering the other projects that <a href="http://www.projectkahn.com/">Project Kahn</a> have completed, I&#8217;ll let it slide this time.</p><p><script type="text/javascript">google_ad_client="pub-8213487891390535";google_ad_slot="6677373126";google_ad_width=468;google_ad_height=60;</script><script type="text/javascript"
