Cosmetic Upgrades
 
I have a '98 S70 GLT and I'm looking to get some stuff to make it look nicer without putting a huge hole in my wallet. Any and all comments would be appreciated.

Depends on what you want.

1. V70R front bumper
2. A rear bumper with two exhaust cutouts. I know my 1999 S70 awd as one.
3. HEICO Front Spoiler Exstentions for the 1998-2000 70 series. I have these and like them

-

1. Rims, find what you like.
2. Window tint, check your local laws for what is legal.

-

1. C70 Jewel Headlights and turn signals.
2. 1998-2000 70 series projector headlights and turn signals.
3. E-code Headlights and turn signals.
4. HID's, SharpHID is where you want to buy from. Great prices.



1. 1998-2000 70 series eyebrow kit.
2. Mesh grille or eggcrate grille.

There are just a few ideas for you. Also nothing is "cheap", so don't expect to get off easy.

True, but what is the cheapest options that still look good and will last?

Tail light tint -$24, Xeon bulbs -$40, xeon headlight - $60 window tint -$200

Nothing is cheap for a volvo, if you wanted cheap you should have bought a civic.

But a modded volvo will be much much nicer

1. E-code headlight and turn signal lenses, about $120 from FCP Groton.

2. Mesh grile, EBAY $75, $155 from IPD USA and EuroSportTuning sells them too, but the price I don't know off the top of my head.

3. EuroSportTuning eyebrow kit, $85 or so.

Out of everything I listed those are the "cheapest".

Thanks, and yeah...I definatly don't want cheap. Any Volvo can pretty much squish a Honda. I sometimes drive my mom's Honda Pilot...it feels too....I don't know....plastic or something.

The IPD sport mesh grill is nothing to write home about. I bought an EST mesh grill and it didn't fit, had to return it...

I have had an IPD grille for an 850 liked it. I had an EST grille for my s70 liked it and it did fit.

I have an XC grille now an OEM one and love it.

Take it yes a mesh grille is a mesh grille nothing spectacular. IPD's is metal and EST's is ABS plastic.
