This is my 1996 Volvo 850R.  I need a new throttle switch, if anyone can tell me, or better yet show me where that is, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi RJ I used a rag while I wore latex gloves. Using the rag lets you work the dye in better. Hope this helps! Cheers Mike

Hey nice ride, if you want to get the grey bumper inserts back to original check out "Showroom New" grey dye at IPDUSA.COM. I did mine a couple of months ago and they still look great. Cheers, 5Stars!

The door lock pins are great i really recommend them they look great and give it that custom look. The only problem that i have is that the rear ones sit flush so the passenger cant get out unless i unlock the doors from the driver side (you could set them to sit up higher but they don't look as nice as when their flush)I'm gonna go to a electrician to see if he can make them unlock when they pull the inner door latch.you shouldn't have a problem cause 96 and newer 850's door locks open automatically when any airbags deploy in the event of a accident.
