Are these kinda rare? 740 facelift content

[ferret]

Found these at a junkyard for $5 a peice.. kinda cracked in a few places but they cleaned up well enough:

I also got new turn signals, yellowed out the stock fog lenses and blacked out the chrome headlight housing trim. It turned out looking pretty good, IMO, for thirty bucks total.

$800 hell yeah, thats a great deal for that 744! I don't if those are "rare" or hard to get but for $5 I'd snag 'em!

[swunder]

hahaha that kia... do people honestly think that looks good? Is it just another type of crowd similar to tbricks that likes stupid ugly wings on crappy cars?

Cool covers, no idea if they are rare or not.. nice car!

I have a set for a 240 down in the basement if anybody wants them. They wouldn't fit over e-codes.

edit: OOPS, the covers I have are for a 740 (pre-'90). Sorry 'bout that. They are made by Wade, have never been installed and are still available.

I would be willing to bet that GTS still makes um' special order.. :)

Few years ago I ordered a clear set and a smoked set for my 88'XR4TI... They made um'-took about a week,and they have to be even more rare.I am pretty sure if they once made them,they will make them for you.They seem to be a pretty cool company.

That's cool, I think the clears make sort of a neat subtle addition the car.

Never seen glasses on a Volvo before...

Actually I have a set for a 240 that WILL fit over e-codes (they're from Australia, so we all got e-codes)... They have lines on them and look like a very slightly mismatched pair, some very minor cracks but otherwise good. I don't really want them hanging around when I can't use them, anyone want them? You pay shipping + $5, you get them. I'm in Brisbane Australia.

The acrylic headlight covers are pretty rare, but I see them fairly often around here, generally in sad shape. The 740 ones tend to be a bit more common than the 240 ones, and I think they look better since they are smaller. The genuine volvo ones have the black lines on them and Volvo printed on the face. GTS, Wade, and at least a couple other companies in the US made good versions.

I noticed that I gain a couple mpg when I have mine on. And I'm less likely to get a rock through a headlight.

I have a pair of Wade ones I bought two or three years ago.

I would get some plasic cleaner and polish and spend some time on yours. They do clean up pretty well. Procedure is basically the same as polishing a plastic 240 headlight.

^they look nice!....Yeah,the best part about the ones on the XR is that I could keep the headlights from yellowing.
