Default Volvo S60-R 56k warning

So I took some pix of my friends car and wanted to hear some of your opinions. I know its not a Z but your welcome to flame if you'd like! The headlights were coming out a hell of alot bluer on camera for some reason soo yeah there really not that blue...

All customization was done at B-Line Motorsports. The spec's of the car are as follows:
-Sport Body Kit
-Custom Rear bumper made to dual exhaust.(stock is only on the left)
-Custom turbo back exhaust
-Custom headlights with deletion of amber and projectors molded into the position of the stock DRL's
-Custom CAI
-Evolve hood grills
-boost and oil temp gauges
-bunch of Misc. 07 R interior pieces (steering wheel, ac vents ect...)

the car come's stock with 4 piston Brembos on all 4 corners...

soon to come:
-eibach springs
-IPD sway bars
-06 s60R transmition swap
-Bell FMIC
-tune
-I know I'm forgetting other ****

He is looking to make around 400awhp when its done.

these first 3 were taken by someone else at Car's and Coffee. The rest are mine.











For those who were asking about the gauges:












and a couple bigger.

and since you are in the Communist Republic of California, soon your car will be confiscated and crushed by the local authorities

Mostly I like it. The hood vents I'm not so crazy about.

If it were me, I would lose the headlight wipers, and the diagonal Volvo part of the grill for a cleaner look.

Looks good though

I like Volvos, they are obviously under-rated.

I guess it's all opinion, but that evolve s40 is ricey to me. It's very "look at me", But to each his own. My friend was going for an almost could be stock but very clean appearance...

But thanks for all the reply's everyone. I'll send my friend this link.

I fcking love this car. If I didn't buy a 350z, I was going to buy an S60R. 6cyl twin turbo, almost as fast as the Z stock, practical, safe, GORGEOUS. The suspension stiffness can be adjusted from in the car. I had an 850glt until January and yeah it was old and boxy, but that car was a fcking tank. It spent a few months partially frozen into a lake and survived. Volvo FTW.

Hmmmmm..... I must be mistaken. Either way they're fcking nasty. I'd take an S60R over a BMW 3 series any day. Too many 3 series cars on the road. S60R is rare!

Me too, but I would still take a z personally.
