PAGE 1: ORIGINAL LOOK AND EVOLUTION OF MY 2005 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD

PAGE 2: FINAL OUTCOME

PAGE 4: MY CAR & MY GIRLS CAR

 

My Black Sapphire Metallic 2005 Volvo S60 2.5T AWD with 16,000 miles as of March 2008 (my first car by the way). I've grown to really love Volvo's and their current design, they've come a long way in terms of design. My parents have been gettin volvo's since they were really boxy looking lol. But now I got my own and added my touch to a already beautiful car. My goals were to modify it with my own sporty style, but keep it looking stylish/classy (as I have seen a few volvo's online, these are not tuner cars, you can't just throw anything on them and think it looks good)...also, to have my car stand apart from the increasing S60's in my neighborhood/in general since I like to set myself apart (even my zune is customized on the back)..I think my S60 is the best looking one in the state of NY, yea I said it!! lol, so please don't bite the style of my whip..but its cool gettin compliments from a bunch of people, online and in the streets of NYC who appreciate what I did with it...Anyway let me know what you think.

2.3.09...Soundgate controls so that I can control my Zune 80GB through it and leave my Zune in the glove compartment. Also, the Zune displays on my in-dash player.

Very nice what you've done with your S60.I see you take a lot of pride in your car.They make a rim called "Volutions"...I think they would look great on what you have done.Do you belong to any Volvo clubs? I belong to Volvospeed.com, and Swedespeed.com.You should check them out.Great job on the ride!

the rims are gone. been sold :( they were just a little bit too wide. i could have put on extended studs and spacers but then the rims would stick out the fenders a little bit. dont know if you ever been to cleveland, but all the roads arent too good so everytime i would drive over a bump, the tire prolly would have rubbed. im riding factories for right now but i will get some more next year

that deck that you have is sick, is that a custom faceplate that you put on? or did you get it somewhere, and if so, where?

Hi. Like the car. But I have one question. About the Rims. Do you use Centric-rings for them or are they a perfect match for the size 65 volvo wheele hubs? If you use Centric-rings are these custom made? I have big problems with my Volvo as the Centric-rings 73,06>65,1 as the stock Volvo wheel hub are wide and narrows in, this means it is not 65 all the way in.
