Welcome to Volvo!!!
I was VERY disappointed with the quality of the Evolve body kit, It looked great once it was all fixed but the customer service and shoddy quality I'd steer clear. just My opinion. I'd Get the Heico front lip. Yes, it's pretty spendy, but looks oh so nice. Actually, everything in the Volvo aftermarket realm is pricey. We just don't have the following like the other JDM and European cars have.

nice car. i was looking at subaru before i bought my volvo, i wanted AWD, the volvo AWD system is not as great as subaru but it goes super in the snow, but i found that all the subys i looked at were total crap, one of them even had the famous piston slap.
so for in my price range i found a volvo awd turbo manual, all leather heated seats, so happy i didnt buy a subaru, but yours was nice, and im sure it was hella fun to drive.

welcome to volvos, and volvo forms.

That's the Heico front lip and OEM Sideskirts and Rear Diffuser.
HRE wheels, Wicked expensive! IIRC the widest wheels that will fit are either 8.5" or 9" and anything beyond that you'll have to start modifying the wheel wells. Heico doesn't post there prices on there website. I think it runs in the neighbor hood of $400ish.

400 is not bad at all !

is that for the front and back or only front ?

and the oem sideskirts are probably the most costly

you have some pics of the back of your s40 ?
