This car is gorgeous. Were those the Murano wheels on it in the first pic?

Also I'm wondering if your considering getting the sideskirts for it?

Gorgeous ! The HID pic looks very nice.

More info on the first rims, please .. they're almost as nice as the STi rims.

Re: my 92 pearlie
 
first rims are GR Sti rims, but they are pre production rims , so they use normal subaru centre caps and are silver instead of shadow chrome.

thanks for the comments guys, the aussie climate seems to be a lot kinder to these than the us and european climates.

thanks, Ben.

I'll second the weather issue and its kindness to SVX's.

I live in Vancouver, where I have owned a 92 SVX since 1996. I've put about $10,000 into the SVX over the past 15 years, which I consider not too bad for getting all the kinks and quirks out of the car. There's never any salt or crap on the roads here, because all it ever does is rain (when it's not shining sun) and rarely goes below 0 degrees centigrade. There's nary a spot of rust anywhere on my Ebony.

Just yesterday a neighbor of mine who has a gorgeous 2009 Volkswagen GTI said to me as I was backing into my SVX into its parking spot ... "god, that car looks great, looks almost new".

Now comes the hard part .. keeping it like this for another 15 years.

;-)

Depends on what part of the US. South and particularly SW USA cars are great as far as rust issues go. SW sun is a bit hard on paint if they sit outside most of the time, but I suspect it is the same in much of Aus.

The rims in the second pic look a lot like RX8 rims. Sort of a cross between Murano and RX8.

Very nice car. The only thing I can see wrong with it is that the steering wheel appears to be on the wrong side.
