My sunroof has never rattled (2002) but what does rattle is the sun shade! It is anoying as hell but I find if you adjust it just right, it will be ok. I have driven the auto to Florida and it is a great highway cruiser and if you are not operating the air or the head lights, and keep the cruise at 70...........and have a fresh set of Bosch platinum plugs..............you can actually get 36 mpg! Other than that, the normal highway when the plugs age and you drive more aggressively the mpg drops to 30. City mpg is not all that good. Incidentally, I run 'regular' and seldom use premium fuel unless I drive in the hot summer. I drive the auto mainly during the winter other than I drive it to the airport during the summer. I fly three weeks out of the month and so it simply sits in the parking lot.

fun car...
on the other note...i debadged it, and people dont know wtf it is...soooo much fun

 

What type of paint did you use on your grille and what year is it? How did you 'prep' the chrome? Do you have the "901" radio? It does have an awsome sound!

That Grill is out of either a Newer C70 or it is out of a AWD XC wagon. (Thats what it looks like anyway. The pic is kind of far away)

 

mladen, your car is really sharp! I like that color so much better than the "light red" I looked at the other day.

Can I ask you to do us a favor and crop your signature picture down to a little smaller size. When you post it's causing the threads to not fit on the screen and I have to toggle left and right to read everything. Or is there something I can do to not have to do that?

 

I agree the Sig should be a little smaller.

 

the grille is off of a XC, direct fit, but you can also get one off of a 2003 c70

 

Ok, I ordered a grille from an XC. It does look better than the chrome unit.
