There are just too many egg crates out there, with the nuts in their egg shells

What do you mean by that? I think the egg crate grilles are ugly unless they are reconditioned to new-look state. Even then they gotta be on the right Volvo to look good.

I’m a waterfall guy. Egg crates are for simple yolks

You are not the only one.

My 2003 S40 came with the Egg Crate broken. When deciding between a Waterfall and a Egg Crate, everybody in the neighborhood expressed their opinion. The Egg Crate got zero votes.

Yes, I am the same way.

RICK?! Did you get a project done in the last 2 months? A Yamaha V8 in the s60R?! WOW! now the 2008 Chevy Impala SS (5.3L V8) has a rare competitor. If you come up with gas mileage numbers city/hwy and 0-60 numbers from your s60R, please let me know! Suddenly I'm intrigued! Either I've been skimming over that addition to your sig for a while or you JUST got that done. Ik the Y V8 comes from the XC90.

I got the engine in and fired up. Still rewiring the interior and getting the electronics / software straighten out. Project is on hold until next spring when it warms up.

The wall is the best place for waterfall grilles... S/V/C70s all need egg crates!

But if we're talking 850s, I definitely prefer the waterfall to aftermarket egg crate grilles I've seen.

What do you do with all the shells? I’ve heard they will also fowl your motor. There’s a magazine dedicated to classic auto, Hennings, of course, cheaper by the dozen.

Abscate, please don't kick me off just yet, but I have to agree with bmdubya. Although I even had an IPD eggcrate grill on my old 850 and I really liked it.
