I am a proud 1997 Volvo 960 Sedan owner. 211,000 miles on it and counting. Unusual feature about this car, it is equipped with hand controls and a steering knob. (wish it were a wagon, I am a part time wheelchair user with spina bifida)

So seeing as how I added a wing to my car... I figured you guys would like to see how sexy these 850's look with a spoiler... and uhhh its not a volvo one either...

lemme know if anyone wants them, I believe my friend who helped me put mine on, is going to start selling them seeing as how nice they look on the 850s.



The second one... is a teaser for anyone who knows that sexy silver volvo. :D

dang also almost forgot this beautiful addition to my engine bay. :D
hehe added a LPT so to speak... 3-5lbs of boost.
and a very mean sounding engine now. :D

im assuming your speaking of the wing and not the turbo,
turbo is after market ebay. lol. works great for being found on the bay.

I forget what he got the wing from, but it fits the 850's like a freaking glove.
but I do know its not a ford. lol

I recgonize the wing, it's from an early 90's Honda Accord. My first car I bought new from a dealer, a few month's after getting married. 1990 Homda Accord LX Cpe. Re-enlistment bonus boght an electric sunroof, rear wing spoiler, and tinted windows. Kind of missed that car, but with 330,000 miles on original engine and clutch, it was time to let her go. Good thing to, when I did the smog check required prior to sale, it passed by 1 point on the 25mph HC. Allen
