I need your opinion S70 1998

Hi,

I need your opinion. I have save up some money to improve my S70.

1) Should I go with wood-trim or carbon-fibre for the interior trim ?

2) Should I go with the normal leather-wrapped shifter, the wood shifter, or
go for the ones as seen on the S70R ?

Keeping in mind for the above 2 items is that I am planning to install the leather/wood steering wheel as featured in the Y2K Volvo accessory brochure.

3) I have 15" wheel covers right now. Should I go for 16" or 17" ? ... The
parts manager wanted to sell me a set of 18" tire/rim package yesterday for
$ 2,500 Cdn. I know 18" is way overboard for my car, but is 17" overboard
for my car too ?

4) For the front turn signal, should I leave it or/ change them to clear ? ...
I am going to change the factory bulb behind it to PIAA Xtreme White soon.

5) For the headlight bulb, I am going to install Hella Optilux Xenon White in
the following 2-3 months. Is it worth changing the lens to E-code lens or
is it not necessary for just a headlight bulb upgrade ?

6) My factory shocks are going soon. Thinking about Bilstein or Koni. Which
one should I go with ?

Please help !
