I'm getting orders now so I can go ahead and make them. You wanted a total of 3 right Tech?

If you want any, just post up here (If that's okay)

Just say which ones you want. Volvo or Volvo For Life, with a x# for how many you want. After that, PM me your name and address and I'll go ahead and start making everything.

Strut bar pictures! Ghetto rigged to no remain. OBX didn't make the bar long enough. Fml. Ahaha. Anyways! Here they are. What do you think? I can feel a difference for sure.







And what do you guys really think about my fogs? Some of my local friends for some reason are bashing on them...

You should really get that bar held be all three bolts....

Get some bigger washers and try JB-weldding it. if not have someone add the extra mounting holes.

Looks good. Chassie Braces FTW!

You talking about these? they look fine....only thing i would have done different is get the black versions of the headlights that is it.

if you dont have special editing software, import them to MS Paint and clean up drawing or it will get engraved too...but I'm sure you already know that. I used to work at two trophy shops for a total of 6 years and ran the engraving dept for 4 of those years...it is awesome to have a laser engraver on hand

also, im sure you could make aluminum ones, i remember we could get black anodized aluminum but you cant cut them in oval shape...maybe post a pic of the materials you can make them out of...

No no no, the foglights! As in getting the brace held down, I should get all three held down but this will do for the time being.





Some guys on a local forum that I'm friends with are trying to rant on me for saying they look retarted because they aren't OEM and cause they're from a Hyundai. I know they aren't perfect, but IMO they're better then those Pilot Autozone foglights.

I think the fogs are good as well. The ones I have are Volvo fitted and they are really worthless other than they glow at night when I turn them on. If you want, you can spend a little spare time with a large oval file to smooth out your cut in the bumper but I really would not worry about that. Most people wont look that close and if they work, that's what really matters.

I would spend more focus on getting that strut brace locked down with all 3 bolts.

Will do. Thanks for the input though. I can tell those guys to shove it now.

As for the strut brace, its going to take a bit. Bigger washers (If not two of them) and yeah. I wish they made the bar long enough. Stupid OBX.

That is the problem with those ebay companies.....

Fit is not quick right and some products just suck. Like for a 200/700/900 exhaust mani they sell. the flange is on upside down.

BTW....
I was refering to the fogs in this pic:

Get the black inserts from a car with fogs that does not have a R bumper.
Then clean the holes up a little and get the inserts in there and tell them to screw off.
I might even have a set of them laying around I will look this weekend.

That signature pic is not his actual car. His car has normal lights. I believe the pic is what he is shooting for.
