Your car actually doesn't look too bad...I'm not too fond of the rims you choose, but all in all...I've seen a hell of alot worse...

Car looks pretty decent...

btw, did u get the mirror cover of ebay? if not, where?

I'm thinking about getting the black ones in less than a month...

AWESOME ADAM!

Its about time you made a showroom post. I love it. I want your headlights too. I really like how you painted the cove base molding in black, it contrasts awesome...thats how I had my s70 too.

Hopefully I'll get to see it in person at the meet ;)

I got more fade with the stock brakes and stock wheels than this setup. I suppose if I turn the COs down a bit more and lay the cove base on the ground I'd have some issues. I'm sure the brakes heat up more with these than my other wheels, but it's fine for street driving.

B) Good deal, thanks. Lookin' smoooooth.

this looks amazing. i think if the wheels were perhaps wider. or maybe just some spacers would make it absolutly perfect. i cannot belive i like those wheels on there!

edit: make the bottom of your sideskirts and the bottom part of your rear bumper flat black too. so its almost like parelle flatblackness with the goofy stock plastic trim. that would honestly IMO be fricking cool.

You need to do a projector retro though.

let me know when you talk to your old partner about the alarm.

I'm keeping it simple and going with the ABMs.

I'll probably swing by tomorrow. Sorry I didn't go earlier, the past few days after work I've been car shopping. Still can't find a new Volvo that fits. I drove an S-line A6 today, which I really enjoyed. Time to detail the DD in a futile attempt to get more than it's worth. :lol:

Decent photos, too. Did you get a new camera?

Photos were taken by me, but I borrowed my software engineer's fancy camera gear. I don't remember, but I think it's an 8MP Canon. Definitely DSLR, because he was swapping lenses around, but I didn't catch the model or anything. He also helped me with the settings. Of course, by that I mean he set everything up and then handed me the camera so I could press the button. LOL All shots were free-hand, btw. He forgot his tripod at home.

Strip the black plastic off of your roof trim and polish it. It would look incredible.

I did that a while back. The rain rails have Plastidip on them right now because I wasn't happy with the polished aluminum. Who knows, maybe I'll give it another try. :)

I'm lovin it ^_^! Especially that stance. Your rims without the spinners reminds me a bit of the VDub styling (ATS Cups come to mind).

Do you plan on keeping your rims like that? Looks awesome.

It looks like a hot rod with those wheels.

I just dont understand why you mod it to be faster and look faster, but put spinners and chrome mirrors on.

As Grant said, it looks good minus all the chrome.
