Default Roof Rails Painted...

I'm pretty sure it was bedliner paint. I would suggest switching to S70 rails. They are better because they catch water/rain.

Super on the tint. Last year I went 35% with the 960 I had and it was just enough to tone down the head lights behind me and light enough to still see stuff at night.

Roof rails have truck bed liner on them.

My car is coming along pretty well. I have my splitter on the front and a full LED dash conversion done. I have a few other plans I am working on slowly.

Gilber33: I gotta think that chicks find you even more attractive now, which is the reason why your girlfriend ain't helping anymore?

I love your car.

It was an awesome trip. Car drove great now that it's in time, best part was that I was getting about 28 MPG. Worst part is I had to grind the **** out of third gear half the time. ugh.

That was pretty brave of you to park right next to a red S70. That's one of the best looking cars Volvo ever made.

Haven't posted in this for a long time.

Went to a Stance WI car show a couple weeks ago.

Also, re-did the catch can again. Had a guy at one of my dad's shops put in a baffle. I know, it looks messy right now, but will be getting cleaned up soon and will look nice.
