You make the math :)
9000 Swedish kronor = 1,323.549 U.S. dollars

Done. lol. For 1.3k I would probably put that on my 850. Ive been looking for a hood sim to that so when I put a better air intake and start modding my 850.
+ it just looks so cool.

Where did you buy it? Online perhaps?

Btw, NICE BLACK WAGON!!! thats what im talk about when I say BLACK!!!!

I bought the body kit on a Swedish site, www.realcar.se
The hood however is a homeconstruction! :D

GOT MY PRANCING MOOSE MAGNETS!!! haha im happy.
New pics of the old gal at work. lol
Make sure you click to see in full size.
Please dont mind the dirt. I plan on giving her a total scrubbing this weekend or even tomorrow. Havent had anytime to really wash and wax and then go over with a fine comb to make sure I got all the crannys in a bit due to being sick with a virus. BLEH nasty lil bugger.

Got three, 1 yellow, 2 red and black. different designs. They actually look pretty sharp on the car. I think anyways. and they are relativly cheap. 2.80 per with +1$ for a magnetic backing, and 1$ shipping. Cant beat it.

I got the magnetic ones and they have survived speeds of 100-120mph so they are good. He reccomends you get sizes above 2 inches, so i went with 3".

It works perfectly, however, was forced to make a guard (is that the right word?) on the underside of the hood so it does not rain right into the engine! Did one of polyester and fiberglass ...

Originally bought this for my son. Decided I liked it better than the Honda Civic. So I kept it and gave him the Honda.

Everyone's happy!
