Graphics on an SVX?
Has anyone done mild graphics on an SVX.
I'm thinking of this: The design would be in House Of Color, Candy Tangerine with a gold base. It'd stand out, but not be too loud on the brilliant red. Here's the Tangerine color for reference:

You want my opinion?? The SVX is not a street rod...
But then, I'm one of the few that likes the stock wheels, so what do I know???

That's one of the only mods I'll probably do to my car. I love how it runs/rides/drives. I love how it looks, I'd just like to make it suit my personality better.
There are a few mods already done. A VERY few. 1. Moved Spoiler -2" 2. Intake "trumpet" removed 3. Zip tie "SSB" lines 4. 4.11 transmission Will I do more mechanical mods? I doubt it. I did the trans swap out of neccesity.

As you said once before Huck, "Baby got back". If she's gonna look thick in the trunk, might as well bring the eye to it.

Not for Me
Graphics on the SVX are not for me, but that doesn't mean well done ones wouldn't look nice. I am sure people remember this one--not mine.

there was a member here from italy by the sn hmcre1svx (I thinks?) that had a photo chop picture of his plans for the car, which included a tastefully done graphic down the side of the car (Though certian other things were of debatable astetic improvment)
The flames...I dunno. For flames to work there just has to be a **** load of them, every where...trying to do flames in one spot makes them look out of place, although if you just do the outline of the flame pattern burning off the end of two pinstripes (As pictured, essentially, but only an outline) in the color your thinking, it would probably subtle it out just enough to work I.E.- Do it, if nobody likes it, too bad. Its your car

I like the factory wheels myself. They're fairly light, for what they are.
If I ever get the dough, I'll put these on my SVX: They're 17" with '05 Mustang offset.

I'm diggin the wheels. The graphics, while EXTREMELY well done, are a bit more bold than I am.
If you like it, then by George, it's money well spent. Because, those graphics are definately top rate.
