taht 'fuglified' air dam is the airwalker kit everyone was just raving about that ken also has.... eh?

bmw projecters are sweet, i dont personally go for the hood but widebody fender flares are pure sex. the point of running dished wheels and bigger tires is the same point on any other car, bigger tires, wider track will greatly help handlign in many ways. plus it will look amazing when finished

Anyone want to explain to me what makes HRE so amazing... other than the price tag? They are pretty rims, but they aren't really that light or that strong... just trying to figure it out. For as much money as they are they better massage me, give me a full release and wipe my jerk at the same time

i like them, prolly wouldnt ever buy them either, for that kind of money id b e looking to spend al il more for magnesium bbs or something. bleh, they better have negative weight though when you're in that kinda price.

they sure are pretty, im really fond of kinesis though personally.

Same reason people buy LV bags or Gucci sunglasses. It's all about status and exclusivity. I personally love the design of several of the HREs, and if I had the disposable income, I would probably buy them (not for the Volvo, for another car).

Not sure about the Rub and Tug though.. I think you're on your own for that wink.gif

Does that dam just fit over the regular 850 front air dam?
