Love the wheels, too. Did you get the "rear lip" for just the rear? Or front AND rear? Couldn't tell from the pictures b/c of the angle of the front wheels. If in the rear only, isn't that going to make rotation a real bugger?

Also curious about your suspension mods. How much did you drop the front? Any difference in the ride quality? What did you use?

VERY tasteful.

rh



the rear has a 4" lip and the front has a 2" lip, axxis wheel company is the only wheel company who does staggered looking wheels with the same offsets and wheel widths

www.axxiswheels.com

the front was lowered but the rear has not ,

and the ride quality has been the same

Extremely nice. Two thumbs up.

Are those stock calipers?

Think I'd go a little lighter on the rear tint if I did it.

Two questions:

What colour are your caliper? Obviously red, but in the second last picture it looks more like a dark metalic red colour.

Second: My God you must fear speedbumps.

Thumbs up

Solar

Your car looks absolutely beautiful, and the wheels are a work of art. Nice one son.

Did you only respray the plastics? The reason I ask is the colour. The plastics and bumpers and grill look whiter than the metalwork. It is really difficult to match up pearlescent paint.

Very nice pictures. I like the first and last ones a lot.


Where is that in Orlando? Or your house?

The paint matches much better after the second time.

Any word on details for the posters??

I'd be interested in purchasing several, depending on price

What grill IS that anyways? I keep seeing the painted non-headlight grill and keep wondering where it comes from. I'm very new to the SVX game, but I know that I want one!!

Looks very good though! From someone that owns a detailing business, I can say that it looks very clean!

Quick grill explanation:
The stock false headlight, refered to as the "waterfall grill" was on all 92-26 svxi
The grill on his car is from a 97 svx. The same grill in chrome was offered on the japaneese svx s4
Smallcar.com makes a grill the is similar to the 97 grill, but the "mesh" isnt surrounded...it's open on the top, much like the waterfall peice
