Post The "Appearance Package"

There was also the "Appearance Package" on some '92's, which my car has. According to a Subaru factory rep I once talked to, these were added by SoA (at the Portland, OR facility) to unsold '92's during 1993 to try to help move the cars off the lots. It consisted of the rear spoiler, a contrasting stripe between the upper and lower body with "SVX" decals (matching the style of the Tokyo show car) on the quarter panels in front of the rear wheels, and a Plexiglas sunroof wind deflector (the same one available as a dealer accessory). This option actually shows up on the official Monroney (window sticker) of my car and cost something like $1K. The stripes and decals were red on silver and pearlie cars, and gold on clarets and blacks. I've never seen a teal car with the package. No idea how many '92's got the package (I've seen about 7 myself).
I've seen some car price guides call cars with this package "SVX XR", but I've never seen any official documentation calling them that.
Anybody else on the board have this package?
