I ordered 20 all around for my 850. I put 20 all around in my daughter's S70. Look real good. Here, we can go 20 and darker on the rear and back glass. I just want to be able to see out at night.

I have been pulled over once for it. Now I have a spare set of windows if the heat gets to hot tint the spares legal and install them for a while then switch back again.

the R on the key chain looks a lot better.but the whole for life thing still gets me.its too much pressure .Thats what I kept telling my wife before we got married. As for the tint thats what I have on my car 35% front doors 20% all rears.

you know what might work as well if you made the Volvo sinbol smaller then you can put the R right after the 850 so it looks all on word 850R. just an Idea mght make it look cleaner.

That looks good!!!!
I would take one maybe 2 of them.
Also if we could find some aluminum ones I think they would look good as well.

OBX Strut bar on the way.

Pricing on keychains - $5 for one, $2 for everyone after that then $1 for first class USPS shipping. Sound decent?
