I use Z-Edge's recorder on my 3 vehicles. 2 of them are the original version (no longer available in amazon), and the xc90 has the newer version: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MEESC0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In 1 of my vehicles (not xc90), I've been rear ended, and...

I see. Whatever bolts that mount the foglight frame might not be conveniently facing the wheel well though.

You're welcome. Will you try to access the foglight mount by just bending the bottom skid plate? Or will you remove the whole front bumper cover assembly?

On the 2018 T6 momentum, the power folding side mirrors are standard. Surround-view parking is optional. Inscription or R-design might include them.

To the best of my knowledge, the foglight is mounted directly on the front bumper cover (that is the large plastic piece most people call the bumper; painted to body color). There is instruction to remove the front bumper cover in some of the official Volvo accessory guides. For example, here is...

It is quite simple once you know the proper precautions and the right timing & amount of pressure / stretch to apply to the film. It is easier than automotive window film (which is very difficult for casual DIYers like me), but isn't terribly impossible. I'm not making any guarantees that it is...

Headlight film The xc90's headlight lens is relatively simple compared to many other vehicles I've installed film on. Just work your way from one side to the rest of the lens surface. As this was the thick 40mil, I actively applied heat during the installation so I can stretch the film as much...

Installing the film for the front bumper cover Again, since this is a relatively large piece, it helps to try to squeegee from the center, and gradually work your way to all sides. Splitting the liner along the center helps keep the side you're not working on protected and more or less aligned...

Trimming the front bumper cover film to fit Remember to leave a bit extra material for the film to follow the rounded edges, and to hedge against unplanned stretching of the film during the install, that can misalign parts that haven't been squeegeed yet: Remember to use tape to keep the roll...

Front bumper cover -- aligning the film roll Once the film is installed on the engine hood cover, we can attempt install on the front bumper cover. It looks more challenging, but not with the right preparation & precautions. YouTube videos I've seen for front bumper cover install DIY typically...

Engine hood cover film install completed Here's how it looks like when fully squeegeed from center towards the outer sections. Basically, it is almost impossible to see under most daily conditions. The extra material extending ahead and to the sides of the engine hood cover needs to be...

Splitting the protective liner along the centerline of the vehicle Without the help of 1 or 2 other persons, it makes installation easier if most of the sections not being affixed remain protected by the liner. Start by making a cut along the liner so it can be peeled gradually to the side like...

Separating the film from the protective liner To prevent dirt (e.g. from fingernails) to contaminate the film's adhesive backing when peeling the film from its protective liner just before installation, it helps to put two pieces of tape, opposite of each other. Then, you can pull the tape...

Defining a rough pattern for the film (for the engine hood cover) With one side taped secure (see left side), simply unroll to measure the needed length (of the roll) to cover the width (of the engine hood cover): Tape edges that are roughly in the right place, cut the roll to the proper...

Film for engine hood cover The first order of business is to mark reference lines for the film that protects the front part of the engine hood cover. The 30"x108" roll means that the front 30" of the engine hood cover is protected, which is more than what the typical "car bra" covers. The 108"...

When I recently purchased a T6 momentum xc90, I saw that the dealer offered clear paint protection package. The price is on par with what I've seen from direct installers; I don't recall the exact price, but it was north of US $1k for the "stage 1" protection, and more than double that for the...
