Volvo is coming about pretty good...Going to pick up Arrakis 17s today hopefully and I realized that Robert Hilton from Hilton tuning lives down the street from me(1 in a billion chance of that happening) I put on my homemade custom painted grill and my Thule roof rack, engine runs amazing and doing my vacuum lines today, overall I'm stoked with how it's coming out

Looks great! More sleek than most! I can't get over how nicely that hood fits into the body.

Thank you very much! I love how it looks so far, and I can't wait to put the Arrakis 17s wheels on, gonna have to mount the tires tomorrow and throw them on, after that I just want to put the yellow film on the fog lights and tint the windows a little bit. That's gonna be all for the appearance, later on(depending how the 17s fill out the wheel well) I might put on the lowering springs from Ipd..Although I'm not sure if I want to run the ipd springs with stock struts(they were replaced and have around 60k on them). Once that's done I will get a Hilton tune stage 1, then I will consider it complete. I was thinking about doing more to it but after all it is my daily driver and a lpt with an auto trans, so stage 1 will be more then enough. At the very most maybe a high flow muffler and an open air short ram intake.

Took off roof rack to repaint it, but the 17s are on..Once I get new tires with the size I want, I will refinish the wheels
