Clean for the day... Snow in the forecast for tomorrow.

But alas the sun is out today so WTF right? :)

BTW I popped the badge off my grill IDK how I feel about it from a distance its not bad. Any feed back is welcome.

With or with out the emblems.....I really dont care.
I think it looks good either way, but if I were to pick...I say no emblems!

StnThree 02-04-2009 08:49 AM

Thanks Tipsp!

Lookin sweet, it's pretty cool without the emblem. I think I could go either way.

I think it depends on the car and color too..... Black cars a lot of times look good without emblems. My silver 850 doesn't look good shaved! Saw one like mine shaved and it looked incomplete! Either way, Nice Car StnThree!

What do you think about this 850?

From IPD 08-09 FWD cataloge. Owner: Pras

Edit:/ it is a terrible scan.

Somthngfrce 02-04-2009 07:23 PM

***BOWING DOWN*** Not worthy, Not Worthy! Where'd u get the pic. That's Nice!

TIPSP 02-04-2009 07:28 PM

I scanned it from IPD's 2008-2009 FWD cataloge.

The owner goes by Pras

This photo make me want a 850 turbo really bad. The car sits SOOOOO beautifully in that shot.

I believe that this is his profile (Click Here)

Somthngfrce 02-04-2009 07:35 PM

R those 18's?? I would sell the Volans I just got for wheels like those!
I think those are off an S80. I want my car to sit like that!

TIPSP 02-04-2009 07:44 PM

Those are either 17" or 18"
IPD (Click Here) has the Replicas and all you have to do is paint or powder coat them black or gunmetal!
IPD has them right now for ~$99 per rim!

Sorry for Thread Jacking!

Somthngfrce 02-04-2009 07:50 PM

Nice! Those are a deal!

swedes60 02-05-2009 05:20 PM

Yeah I just ordered 4 nebulas for my s60 T5. But what do you mean by "all you have to do is paint or powdercoat"? Dont they come prepainted?

Yes they are prepainted. they come with a silver color.

I was refering to the Black/gun metal look that Pras has on his.
Sorry, for the confusion. I fixed the post.

TIPSP 02-05-2009 05:35 PM

My bad! I just realized that they are not Nebulas.
They are one of these:

triton

http://market.autopartsfair.com/imag.../aly70226u.jpg
propus

Either way the Nebulas still look good black!

Either way they really are crazy cheap right now from IPD.

Somthngfrce 02-07-2009 07:01 AM

I belive those are tritons on that wagon

PANTYEATR 02-08-2009 08:33 AM

i like the way it looks too without the badging, but i would try to get that chrome ring around the grill in black chrome. i wish i can find a place that does it close to orlando cause black chrome is a totally awsome look.

I belive there's a place off Mercy Drive and Old Winter Garden that might do Black Chrome...I'll try and dig up the name.

I think it looks better with the emblem. Without it and without doing something with the grill holes where the emblem connects, IMO it looks like someone stole it or it just fell off.

StnThree 02-09-2009 08:29 AM

Hi guys thanks for the comments!

S60r I agree about the holes it looks a bit Ghetto. lol Thankfully driving down the road its not that noticeable.
I think I'm going to get the EST blacked out grill. But I can't decide between the full black or the one with the chrome ring.

BTW: that wagon is SWEET!!!!
