T-5R badge on or not??

gilber33 11-24-2009 08:20 PM

I think it would look good, however, it is not a T5-R. I think it's awesome to throw on the R bumpers, interior, etc., but I don't like it when people throw on the R badges. Just preference, the R badge is sacred. (lol). What I would do, is get the motorsports badge, and put it in front of the iPd, that's what I'll probably do on my wagon.

if it's not .. then I would skip it.

boxpin 11-24-2009 09:24 PM

Well that just took the wind out of the sail.

boxpin 11-24-2009 09:25 PM

It has the engine and suspension of a t-5r...doesnt that count? What other differences are there other than the interior?

The motorsports badge is more sacred than the R badge.
I think it looks pretty good there.

See, I feel that the motorsports badge is more of the tradition/heritage of tuning Volvos, that's what I think when I see the motorsports badge. I think it lets people know that this isn't your everyday 850, it's something special.



now wasn't that deep?

Yes

tech 11-24-2009 09:48 PM

Yes it is!
And I believe it only came on the T-5R's the R cars were just a R.
So they only came on cars for 1 year.

boxpin 11-24-2009 10:12 PM

Guess I'll be yanking that off then.

I think the important thing is that you have at least met and then exceeded the performance level of the T-5R. I vote to keep the emblem.

Now that you have the R front bumper and rear wing, it's definitely fine.

As far as having the suede interior to qualify as an R, who really cares?

tech 11-25-2009 07:49 PM

I agree it should be on there.

boxpin 11-26-2009 01:11 AM

So let it be written, so let it be done.

gilber33 11-26-2009 06:27 PM

Pictures?

It is done.

gilber33 12-04-2009 01:26 PM

OK OK, it looks good. Now I want to see pictures of your whole car. Inside, outside, and under the hood. All these awesome mods and I barely know what your car looks like.

boxpin 12-04-2009 01:54 PM

Let me get the spoiler and wing on it then I will reveal it.

gilber33 12-04-2009 02:10 PM

Oh man. Well, then, hurry up. :D

tech 12-04-2009 09:20 PM

I like the way it looks!
