Re: Pictures of your car
My car has a wing on it now, though I haven't taken any proper pictures of it with the wing.
I did drive it to work about 3 weeks ago. I only drive it 4 or 5 times a year. Here is a pic i took with my phone of it outside of my office. Edit: One more on the street in my neighborhood.

Re: Pictures of your car
Lookin' great, man.
What method did you use to lower the car? (looks great lowered on those RX8s...) Looks very "concept-like" with the JDM wing. All you need now, is a mild tint job.

Re: Pictures of your car
They're the motorsport warehouse springs. I feel they give it the perfect ride height. If you buy them, I'd recommend immediately having them powdercoated. The factory finish on them wears off within a year or so and they begin to rust.

Re: Pictures of your car
It looks great but I would'nt want to lower mine anymore than it already is.. the towbar constantly bottoms out on my driveway, thankfully it saves any body damage to the rear of the car. I was going to remove it but now I'm not so sure....

Re: Pictures of your car
If I were spending money on my SVX, beyond just keeping it rollin', I'd consider lowering the front just a touch.
The window sill line is nicely wedge-angled, but the roof and the body belt line are a bit too horizontal, (the forward peak of the roof on the SVX kind of accentuates that...), and the car could use just a little bit of a stance tweak. My legacy is low, and looks sexy, but scrapes on stuff... I want to put Spec B bilsteins on it, but the 06-09 Spec Bs actually rode higher than the regular GTs... and I want a ride height slightly lower than stilt-stock, and the current scrape-tastic whiteline springs it wears, and the under-damped stock GT struts. My SVX rides nicer, even though it doesn't look as good.

Re: Pictures of your car
I don't like the wing Mike.
That's just me, of course, I simply prefer the SVX as designed by Giugiaro, no wing except the rear extended lip of the bootlid. Your car still looks way cool, of course. Joe

When I was looking for an SVX, I was really hoping to find one with no wing ever installed, and I totally lucked out. No one in the 17 year history of the car chose to install one (thanks John and Chris) And I’ll second the comment Mike: Quote:

Edit: You mean the bootlid itself with its lip. Got it.
