Good place to start. I'm not a big fan of the eyelids (any eyelids, that is) but otherwise no complaints.

99 V70 R. Silver & charcoal with a few mods.

Welcome to VS. I would start by removing the electrical tape eyebrows and grabbing some oem fogs. It appears to be a clean car from the pictures so you have a nice start. Painting the waterfall on the grill and leaving the surround chrome is a huge plus for me.

Thanks! But they're vinyl eyelids :wacko:

Decent car...

needs permanent eyebrow removal.

...But they're vinyl eyelids not a fan of them either.

Oh..electrical tape IS vinyl..

Another fucking s70: with Lots of zip-ties, a power antenna, and a bitchin shift knob... the only mods that matter.

As for now, nothing major such as.
Intake
Flowmaster muffler (straight pipe is way too loud and raspy)
Projector headlights
A front lip

Maybe a lip spoiler, im not sure, I don't mind going spoilerless.
And a few more that I cant remember at this time. :mellow:

Just my plain interior. For now.

Don put a Flowmaster on it. Chambered mufflers will sound like shit

I was actually going to ask that, what muffler would you recommend for the best sounding. I'm not doing a full exhaust as of right now, or else I would do OBX.
And I don't know if it's just my S70, but all I had was the cat, and the muffler. No resonator of anything of that sort. Just one big muffler.

Idk, they're not really my main focus right now, :/ I just got bored today. And that's what came out of that boredom. They will probably be relocated anyway in the future though. ^_^

LOL. I knew someone would've commented on that. I love black ice. But no, I only have one in the trunk

Is it an automatic or manual?
Ive had both the magnaflow ss, and the flowmaster 44 original. I left my cat on and got a 2.25 catback welded on both of the sound pretty much the same though, pretty mellow and a bit deeper than stock. Id personally go wit the flowmaster it was a bit deeper, and seemed to improve the throttle response more than the magnaflow, my cars an automatic though :glare:
