Default 1loud240's update

wheels: decided Im going to go with the spokes still, may be getting 15" spokes from a club member of mine soon. (I hope they fit)
badges: I did de-badge my car...the front two emblems that are on the side fenders had holes behind them, which looked like a sidemarker hole..so I put them back in...but the rear is smooth...

new update is the window tint that I got done today..it's 35% all the way around (except windshield)...its a very clean look!...took some pics as well..

It's looking good. I was pretty sure that the wing emblems covered side repeaters - you could of course get the loom and clear repeaters to go in instead of the badge.

Thanks Mike for the compliment...yeah Im thinking about welding those holes shut...and smoothing them out!..for a even cleaner look...and then once it's repainted, the whole car will be badgeless! and smoooth!

decided to upgrade the speakers...upfront I have 2 pioneer coaxial highs in the doors..along with 3 Rockford Fosgate 12" P1 subs running off a 800 watt Rockford Fosgate amp..pics are below

wheels: Are coming soon...believe it or not..they do make 13" and up wire wheels that fit our cars and are knockoffs not bolt-ons which is a bonus

I know its been awhile since my last update so Here is the recent update on my volvo 240 .



These are 2 of my rims, they are 14" wire wheels, 3 are wrapped in 175/75/r14 tires to clear the fenders with ease..the one on the left is a 185/75r14..All four corners will sport the 175/70/r14. The spokes are anodized blue, im only waiting on my adapters and knock off spinners...i started to remove the window tint also (it just got old quick)....my next mod is to black out some trim pieces,pinstriping,and some other good stuff...the suspension will be last.

Man, those wheels are bad ass
I'd love to make mine a tru lowrider, but can't afford that and I'm afraid that this will last for a very long time
A PRV and knock off's + tons of chrome under the bonnet = my dream
Good luck with yours.
