I guess I am one of those stock US people. I just love the car the way it came and i think you are taking away from it to mod it in those ways. Not only visually but mechanically. That car was built for a mature distinguished luxury sport car ride. I beleive the best class to compare would be the Lexus sc 300-400.

Saying that, I know the amount of effort that went into the SVX was great and I have had many Subarus in my time too. That car was advanced in every way and 12 years later it is still equal to the cars being produced in the mid class. That right there says alot. I like it just the way it is supposed to be! But I will tell you what, I spend more $ than my friends who mod out there cars, to just keep mine in good condition. If it keeps going like that I would never be able to afford to mod the car.

Oh well, top each there own.
