New baseline requirement for a really nice svx

[anthonybuchanan]

All of you have ideas about parts, paint, mechanical stuff, level of cleanliness, or low mileage, no tall wing, etc., that an SVX must have as a baseline requirement for it to be considered a really nice car.

Cosmetically, I think any SVX without the cloud side skirts and some type of front spoiler just looks down right ugly.

Subaru should have done something like these from day one.

Motorsports is dropping the price of cloud side skirts to only $450 so run out and get your pair.

This is highly subjective, as are all of your comments.

Opinion is not fact.

Don't feed the trolls.

Hey wait a minute.

Can't we have a discussion here about a side skirt without a "feed the troll" label here.

I agree with one thing, saying "ugly" is strong and also not true cause all SVX'es are great. Please allow me to retract "ugly".

But back on topic the side skirts aren't bad but wouldnt you rather waste your money on something better?

Your comments about my wing are highly subjective, as are all of your comments.

ok let's go back to the OP

Baseline for a really nice SVX
1) wheels all in the right orientation.
2) minimal headlight yellowing
3) minimal body damage/paint oxidation
4) minimal interior problems (droppy visor, broken arm rest lid button
For modifications, I think that the general rule of thumb is keeing in the spirit of the car. This was designed as a high speed touring car with a high level of comfort, refinement and sophistication. Nothing about this car was gawdy, even the split windows although unique was refined. In light of this it might be easier to say what is not allowed that what is.
5) exterior mods: no crazy wings, no altezza rear lights, no neon underglow, gills, vents, and scoops unless it is functional, NO HEADLIGHT EYELIDS.
6) paint scheme or color: no bright neon, no more than two colors, wheel colors can be different not gawdy and ricerboyish (no red wheels EVER)
7) interior mods: multicolored seat fabric, as long as it matched one of the exterior colors, trim can be wood grain, brushed aluminum or carbon fiber. if painted black and gray are acceptable. NO other colors. Pedals open, radio open, speakers open, rear mirror accessory open
8) engine bay: no useless cone filter that just sucks in hot air from the engine bay no excessively gawdy wire wraps. NO RED INTAKE MANIFOLDS. no neon, smoke or strobe lights, working hood struts, intact engine cover
9) exhaust: no riceboy fartcans.

that's about all I can think of for now.
