[yangotang]

Jesus christ there is a ton of fender gap!

Lower her, stat!

[volvoamg]

Is that your driveway that the truck is on? If so, wow.

And like the only white cars that I like are Volvo 850 wagons. Volans are so sweet

[dragon17]

Thanks!

Darkest legal for an SUV... I think its 5% on the rears & 15% on the front. Its perfect for me, I like to keep what I carry "under cover" (techno doodads)

I'm in the SE, would love to slam the car, but roads where I work just won't allow it I would like to upgrade the suspension soon though, I think I need new shocks.

Haha... wish that was my driveway. That's the entryway to an old dairy near where I live. The family that owns the land has been there hundreds of years. Really great spot on the river.

Thanks for the "tip" Since the grille was the last piece of chrome on the car - and that is now gone - I'm thinking a black remus exhaust would look clean. No chrome on this grocery getter.

alwaysed love white Rs haha

Thanks! I would like to paint the trim white too... but don't think its worth the $$$

Don't do it... I recall a yellow R sedan on here with painted matching trim...daammmn ugly to look at.

I recommend what 850Charisma says... or use what I use Mcguires Hot Shine Tire Spray.. soaks in nice and good, and gives a nice even coat..

beautiful car. the white color is awesome, wish mine was white...

i dont mean to nitpick, but looking at the first picture (driverside), looks like the sideskirt has the line indicating 94-95 sideskirt, and the second picture (passenger side) looks smooth like the 96-97.....

also the drivers side is missing (or repainted) the little black triangle vinal piece by the rear door window above the doorhandle.....its there on the passenger side.

Now, im a volvo newbie, but i thought the "R" was only a 96-97 thing, and the 95 only had the T5-R.

Dont wanna rain on your parade, but if you are a realist like me, id rather know the bad sooner than later (bad meaning car may have been in an accident, and parts replaced from other cars).


or maybe its all in my head (internet quality pictures).

It's true Yellow Rs look horrid with a matching trim. There was one for sale here in Ontario a few months ago... I got so excited to see a yellow for sale (it had low KMs too!) only to be dissappointed to see every single thing that was grey to be painted yellow .

But! I think white should look nice. I think there is a guy here on VS with a white trim and BBS rims (looks so awesome).

EDIT: by the way, love the R... and that driveway the truck is on!. I'm sure once you get the trim back to black your car would look even better .

If he has a picture of the interior, the T-5Rs had suede on the sides of the seats, R's have it in the middle of the seats. Also, run the VIN through carfax and it'll tell you what year the car is.

[Zappo]

That grille looks almost invisible.

[Jaxx]

it would look good, if he moved the horns

lol but yeah, get on that bro!
