why isnt there a graphic above the rear wheel that sayes SVX? Do only certain models like mine have that? certain years? or did the dude remove it to make it more believable as a rocketship?

I can't help thinking that we should all be a little more polite when discussing "modded" SVXes. The owners might be lurking here.

I have yet to see any cosmetic mods that really improve the look of the SVX. All credit to the people who have spent time and money modding their cars, but Mr Giugiaro did a damn fine job on this car and it's not easy to improve upon.

Too each their own I always say. Why bag on someone elses likes? esspecially when they can't defend themselves. When I get around to the aesthetics of my car I am sure many of you will not be fans.

I hope you are building a very strong case argument for yourself.

I gotta say though, that SVX at least has a body in good condition from what I can see. The atrocities I've witnessed elsewhere.... this does not compare.

Significant Technical Input
I'm just trying to figure out if they wanted it to look like a baby stroller or a shopping cart. Did it have a post in the middle? Maybe it's a tow bar for skateboarders.

i'd say the Deltaspeed front "splitters" are an improvement, but yeah, not much else looks better than a stock SVX.

Agreed. And with every other grocery-getter out there sportin' aero doo-dads of some description, I really, really like the fact that my SVX has no wing.

To his credit........it's still on the road. And we all know how pricey that can be. This guy/gal may love his SVX.

You all are SVX snobs (I guess that is redundant)
