    I tried to under sell it on the title. I'm pretty proud of my new DD.
    For 20 year old paint, its real shiny.
    so far...
    H&R 50406, e90 drop hats. Koni SA in front KYB AGX in the rear. M3 rear sway bar
    XXR 521's BFG 205 50 16's
    Crack-free dash
    Full sport leather seats with leather ski-pass rear.
    I Installed a straight front valance with and om iS front lip and Taurus skirts.
    The 1950cc M44 is in and running strong. 3.73Lsd out back.

              Nice car but those tires seem slightly undersized. What are they, 215/40s?

                  yup 215/40's. after these wear out, I will probably jump to 225/40's or 45's if they still make them

                                  Haha waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles you're dumb man. Those are 16s.

                                  Benz, question: are those tires noisy at all?
                                  How do they feel?

                                      If I had to drive on roads in the "east" I'd want more sidewall also. Sorry I'll just have to drive on our smooth California roads with the windows down... in March, with my 40 series tires :-)

                                          I don't think the volvo lip will last too long, wife drives the car on occasion. I do think it is only slightly less tacky than no lip and it came with the car, so it stays for now
