Default 97' 850

My 97 850. I just picked her a month ago and I am very happy with her. I added the Yakima roof rack and a set of rims off a S70. I also replaced the temporary spare for a full size spare. That's all I have done so far. I want to get a new grill from IPD.

Looks good. Have you thought about dying the bumper and door trim black. I used KIWI shoe dye on my sons and it looks good. I also pulled his grill, taped off the edge, the logo and the slash and painted the rest of it black. All it cost was the can of paint and again the look was pretty good. Tinted windows and a spoiler are next.

Like the AWD rims on the 850 looks pretty good.

Tbob, not everybody is rich like you. We can't all afford a $9.95 bottle of trim restore!!! Just kidding. That is also good to know. eventually when I have another car, it will be of use to me!

This product is great, it is affordable and it did make my bumpers
look 100 percent better. And it is easy to apply, you simply use a
hot soapy rag to clean first, let it dry, then use the product. Just
make sure if you have some overage on the paint only wipe with a
dry clean rag and it comes right up, do not use the hot soapy rag
it will go into the paint, and ask me how I know, lucky for me only
a small 1 inch segment.
