Re: Ls7 Svx?

smc, that is great news! It seems you will be beating me to it then

Allow me to give you some pointers on the bodykit (since I am one of the few who fabbed their own bodykits for the SVX).

Advice 1: They should not at all times fab the new bodykit based on your existing panels (bumper covers, sides, etc...). Fiberglass/Carbonfiber should not at all times be screwed to plastic with bondo and crap. The OEM panels are to be used ONLY as a template while returning them intact.

Advice 2: Keep the front headlight/corners strictly SVX. Do not let them custom fit other front ends.

Advice 3: Use the Mitsubishi Evo 10 rear diffuser in the back of your custom bumper. I have this piece in my parts storage and had plans to redo my entire bodykit using this design







Advice 4: I am worried to what their plans will be to your rear quarter panels. How will they enlarge them? Metal fabrication or screwed fiberglass add ons or...?

I can give you (and them) great pointers in this perspective. Ask me if you are unsure of something
