The 4 does line up, the only reason why it appears that it doesn't is that the horizontal line in the number "4" isn't designed at the same location as for example the center line as a "5" or "8" or a "6". The "4" is the only number out of the few that is unique on it's own, and this was by design by Volvo or the marketing team they hired.

That reminds me, I should remove the sale posts. Decided to keep them. Thanks.

Thanks Na-Game, you summed it up nicely for me. I'm not going to deny the fact that i'm inexperienced as a moderator and my way of handling the situation turned bad. I also made mistakes for removing posts whether they were irrelevant or not, as this leads to anger and outrage. People don't wake up being excellent at everything overnight, it takes failures and challenges.

Simply put, and i've said this before. Perhaps I am tainted by the simple friendship between Henry and I, we've met through the forums and through his business as a customer. CFWerks was at one point more reputable with many great products and had better customer service, and perhaps all this is the bias. Not because he's my friend but at one point contributed to the small Volvo community that we have here. However, at the end of the day, I do not know his personal dealings with his customers and I also respect others opinion about Henry and his business.

I'd like to see CFwerks back to what they once were, but that's in the hands of the owner and not me.

The wrap material I use is called HEXIS, they have a pretty realistic CF film as well as other high quality wrap colors that can contour to almost anything.

It's far more superior to Di-NOC; conforms better, air channels, and looks better.

Certainly, you've touched on several issues that I battle with. I totally understand the fashion/function thing. I understand that VS have a small small club of the low stance Volvos or (hehehe Jags); exepat, Mattphi and youself. I certainly love the look and a good part of me simply says: drop the car a good inch and be apart of this exclusive club. I get to see my car on "Stance" domain sites etc. (lol maybe not, well whatever)

Then there's the other side...

I said this before though, it's slightly different with the R. I don't know what it is, and I tell you, I dropped my 850 with coilovers and dropped it as low as possible on the car. I had no issues doing it, but this R was a bit different. I actually got fond of the added electronic features, switching to comfort,sport,advanced is a nice. Okay so let's say Fuck it, pull the 4C and run coils. Will it get the heights I want? Probably, but I'll have to live with the harsher ride, the error messages, the lack of ability now to instantly change drive characteristics. Perhaps I suck it up and give up those things to look good. But then again maybe i'm past that phase and just want a good looking, comfortable and fast car.

I'm seriously on the fence.
