Whoring the Volvo......(56k just sit and cry)

[Silver Snake]

Well, I finally finished my other lease and got my R on the road. I bought it on Ebay back in December and it has sat since then. TGO has been killing me, because he bought his a while after me, but has been driving it since day one.

In the last fiew weeks, I have fixed some curb rash on the wheels, put in new pedals, new shift knob, installed the iMIV iPod adapter, and a complete detail including claybar and three coats of Zaino.

I have spent too much effort not to show it off, so forgive the pics!

New Plate:

Zaino Shine:

Brembos:

Pedals:

Gauges:

Interior:

Recaro Baby:

Heart of the R:

Another CEGer just picked one up last week. Took me for a ride in it last night. :drool: Identical to that one except the sport body kit. :drool: Did you steal that plate from Steeda?

 

[Trapps]

Outstanding!

Let me know if you're looking for some winter wheels...I don't know how those Ventus will work out int eh snow, but the Pirellis were downright dangerous.

Thanks. LOL, I knew the plate would get a Steeda comment! I figured with the black over blue and tinted windows it was the perfect plate for a quick Volvo.

I was planning on picking up a set of 17's and some winter tires. I don't expect the Ventus to grip for chit. The tires are the only thing I don't like, the previous owner slapped them on before returning the lease. They are unbelievably loud. But, they are brand new, so i cant complain too much.

Do you have a hookup for wheels/tires?

I like the shift knob. That is the only thing that has ever dissuaded me from that car.

This pic shows it a little better.

Its a Momo Racer-Air Carbon. My wife and daughter got me the pedals and shift knob for my b-day.

I agree about the stock one, it always looked so out of place.

[MapOfTaziFoSho]

I don't know, I don't think I'm cool enough, I may have to get something else . . . Anyone want to buy a nice 5.0L Cobra? It cleans up very nicely . . .
