I've got cf/ kevlar (yellow) engine covers en route... toying with the idea of doing the panel between the tails. Should? Black... black/yellow or no way?!

I think the black carbon fiber would contrast well with the yellow car. Do it!

Doug, Beachnut (volunteering him) has CF garnish b/w his tail lights, and IMO it looks great. Beachnut, post up that pic so Doug can PShop it w/his body color!!!

Doug, if it's CF, it belongs anywhere (almost - I think the hood on the 850 is a bit of a win or lose situation depending on the body color).

Definitely do it Doug, it's very subtle and I think it sets the rear end off really nicely

Thats what I was thinking. The yellow/cf would be kinda neat cause it'd have both colors. When I get my engine covers I can always put one of them up there to look at it lol

Hey Doug, Gregg got the CF piece for the back of his car and it looks awesome! You should see if he can get you some pictures of it. But I definitely think it would look good on your car, a little bit of added contrast.

Nope, not yet...maybe this summer I will work sales at a Volvo dealership. I happened to be at the dealership that day to pick up some parts and decided to snap some pictures.Doug> definitely do it...it really makes the back end look different and stand out from other 850s (especially on a light colored car). At the very least, buy it and try it...if you don't like it, you can always remove it and then sell the CF piece here on VS
