Am I right in thinking that the whole interior has been done with spray paint - including the leather and ecsaine bits? In fact, the whole car looks to have been badly spraypainted.

As for the hideous bodywork, I don't even know where to start. Sure, I'm a purist, but there is a good reason why Giugiaro hasn't hired this guy.

Somebody please buy this car and put it in the crusher where it belongs.

I have to agree with seraph - tasteful mods are one thing but these appear to be half hearted attempts by both of these car owners.

I thought that was an Illinois car. If I find it, I am going to laugh at the owner in their face.

And that $8000 isn't even the reserve price yet.

Yeah that interior for some reason reminds of some 80's buick or something a grandpa would be driving.

Why must there be so much horrible treatment of a beautiful SVX? I was thinking that the sideskirts near the rear quarter panel looked more like a 'stang than the front (with that pseudo vent)... but the whole front end barely looks like an SVX. I don't get the whole widebody thing. There have been some on a few cars that looked respectable... but most (like this "kit") just look rediculous. The way the body matches up with the wheel/wheel well just doesn't mesh... really bad.

I am pretty sure that if I saw this somewhere, I would punch the owner in the face. I'm not usually that prone to violence... but this is THAT bad.

I actually like the rear fenders.... from the 3/4 rear view... I would buy the rear fenders... but not the whole rice side intake crap... it would be better if the front wasn't so gay looking, we own Subis not Hondas, and WTF is up with the tail lights??? I can't believe no one mentioned the paint scheme also... when was the last time you saw a fade on a car? for me it was about 10 years ago looking thru street customs, I think he was somewhat on the right track, but went south real quick
