You might need to post the "R" badge specs for others to follow.

 

That sucks man sorry!

 

The repairs begin!

 

Duralast battery? really? just sayin....

 

I have a duralast battery. It starts my car. The end.

 

Hey... My offer for the R spoiler/Bumber is still on the table....

 

Sorry, no damage to it. She stays on the car. I saw someone selling one on VS but I think its sold already. I spotted a FMIC behind it and worked out a deal with the owner...it will be here Monday. So my IPD RIP will be for sale soon.

 

I was going to make a comment but you already found one.
I was going to say best time for a FMIC. LOL

 

Let me know when your going to let the RIP kit go and how much..

 

So what was the official insurance company estimate if you don't mind sharing?

 

MattyXXL always swooping in for a kill!!

 

Last I checked, they were about $350 from the stealer unfinished. If you join the Volvo High Mileage Club, they should send you a 20% off coupon like they did for me. I'm going to use that to get my R bumper back. That's $70 off, brings the price down to $280. Every little bit helps.

 

All back together, working on the hood for paint

Showroom New before and after(first coat)







Got the A/C charged and also been driving around without the hood on...its loud and fun. The intake is really loud and cool sounding when the pressure is let off.

 

What size wheels and tires are you running?

 

They're 17-inch Tethys - right?

 

That was out of the blue. Yes they are Tethys, 215/45 17. Not a very pleasant ride.

 

LOL but way better than 205/40's or 205/45's.

 

I'm running those 205/45's and they are a little rough. I'm afraid that I will have more rubbing with 215's. I guess I can change my turn lock stop to limit my turn travel. I also need to drop my car an inch or so.

 

i only rub on full lock but have adjusted driving so I dont hit. With a little lock work it could be eliminated.

 

I do not rub at all at full lock. Maybe it is because of my wheels.
