So like, WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE GREEN CARS?! maybe...juust maybe, its because my own personal taste, is just that, 'personal'. And maybe, juust maybe, its ok to have a green car.

Wow thats funny I dislike very much green cars too! I had a green car and would never buy another. I think especially and SVX looks horrible in green because its such a cool car with a nasty color! But like you said thats just an opinion. Its just so easy to hop on the band wagon.
I hate Hondas
I hate altezzas
bla bla bla bla.....................

anywho, you made a really good point. Thanks

Well, specifically I was simply saying that I wouldn't put them on MY car. There are plenty of cars that they can (and do) look just fine on though. Personal taste is such a wishy-washy subject that people will never come to terms on, but I do have a respect for anyone who modifies their car to their OWN tastes. If you like it, that's all that matters. People who modify cars to impress others are simply doing it for the wrong reason.

Also, I don't mind green cars. They look best with dark wheels though, in MY opinion. I very much like the looks of a dark green 3000GT VR-4. Was VERY close to buying one of those a while back.

But hey, to each his own. Po-tay-toh, Po-tah-toh, right?

I'd be curious what the rear bumper came off of. It actually COULD look pretty sweet if someone actually took some time with it, but all of it together looks like Optimus Prime with a hangover.

Wow! Thats a NEW ruined svx. All the comes to my mind when I look at it, for some reason, s the following:
"Dual licence plate mounting locations...good for jdm AND usdm plates.

Pfft, who needs lenses?

Pfft, who needs to be able to see the brake lights

Pfft, how often could I POSSIBLLY drive backwards at night?

Good thing I gots that vent, otherwise my rear tires could overheat

"Dude, aside the wrong color, that body line not existing, and the sides not even coming clse to fitting, this looks raw as hell!!!'

The driver side rear quarter was repainted

and finally, for some reason, a little song comes to mind:

AMERICA!!! **** YEAH! KICKIN YOUR ASS TO SAVE THE MOTHER ****IN DAY YEAH!! AMERICIAAAAAA! **** YEAH!!!!

Edit: ps, his wheels are on backwards

I think the rear bumper of the SVX is already perfect for the car, and never really liked this style of bumper on anything. I don't think the vertical lines make any sense.

But like you said, if time was taken, and talent was involved, then something like this could be fashioned to have a quality appearance.

And deep down in a secret place in my brain, I try to hide the fact that for some reason, I like useless tire vents.....

I too suffer from this condition. Is there no hope?

Only one (or two)

That picture is flat out disgusting. It's not the absolute crap quality of the work (okay, it is), but the complete and utter lack of taste. I mean seriously, what the HELL dude? What in the looks good to you? What twisted upbringing did you have to see something good in that? God I want to kick you realy hard.
