He's been working on it for about a year now. He's done a lot of performance mods and has a huge turbo coming in the mail to replace the existing one. He's bringing it to CarCraft Summer Nationals and will be parked by me near the SVTOA Twin Cities folks. Swing on by if your in the area. He has eye lids that are painted to match the car as well as a spoiler, which also has the stripes painted on to match up with the stripes on the car. Car has 20% tint all around too. He chose this car to mod because he wanted something different and I must say I like it even though it is a wagon. However with that I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...

What's the benefit of it? I mean after all it is just a marker light and not something that emits light for you to see. Unless you really want people to know you're turning left or right as their retinas burn. :laugh:

The Volvo is pretty sweet, the color isn't my personal taste...but it's pretty cool none the less.

It's a projector 'style' turn lamp. Not an actual projector lens. It's there to make the headlight flow better.
 
Not feeling the stripes either, and the headlights fit so poorly that they scream "I BOUGHT THESE FROM EBAY!!" buit aside from that, very nice. I have pondered finding a 5-speed Turbo wagon and making some additions/subtractions myself, so I can certainly identify with wanting to work on one of these.

And wagons are cool!!
 
between the stripes & lights it looks too busy...I'd paint the grill & lose the lights & stripes. I do like the wagon though, just not his taste in aesthetics.
 
Not a fan of the stripes. The head lights really seem to break-up what could be an very nice smooth front end for the sake of being high tech.
