Red’y “R” Not

**2015.5 Volvo XC60 T6 3.0 AWD R-Design w/ Polestar**- long description, but was a Unicorn to locate and buy. Recently decided to entertain the Volvo culture after owning just about every other brand of vehicle. I’m always after something different than everyone else, and when it came to looking for the next “project” daily driver, I was literally blown away at how few options were out there for someone like myself. Most vehicles today all appear so bland, non original, and/or so cliche of someone trying to be something they’re not. This mild project will be a slow but steady transformation with the objective to have the appearance of something that looks familiar to most, but recognizable to only some. So far, the little things have been done such as: Tint all the way around, painted the calipers, ghosted the front emblem, red ambience glowing behind the grille/bumper, and customized the front headlight lenses to follow body lines of car. I’m a collision painter by day so I plan on doing much more subtle painting mods to both interior and exterior. Currently, the plans are to stance it proper by some form of drop(be it air or springs), possibly accent paint the not so typical 20” wheels,a mild exhaust solution, turbo upgrade?, debadge completely, and fabricate a body kit to the existing bumpers/rockers..I want to keep ‘em guessing on what it is they see in the streets.. I’ll probably end up doing some kind of tail light conversion too.

This has been a dream car for me since I was young, I purchased her as my first car while on my journey of being an apprentice mechanic. It has been quite a journey and hope to continue this project for many years to come 😀
