I like the front end... not the middle so much, but I always hated silver SVXs just because of the way the front corners (with amber pieces) had that orangy/yellowy/cloudy/gray color playing with the silver paint the wrong way.
The black, while not tasteful, is an improvement. - Rob

I actually had my front grill masked with electrical tape for a little while...it looks ok on a claret, the real reason I did it was that I later painted over the masking tape to see if I liked the way a burgundy grill would look. That way if I didn't like it I could just peel it off and go back to the waterfall. Needless to say I liked it, so now my grill is permanently burgundy (which reminds me that I still need to fix that paint chip). I don't understand why you would cover the blinkers, so people can't tell that you're turning???

I like the rims but hate the blacked out corner lights and the blacked out waterfall grill on such a light color. Who's car is that a pic of?

You guys do know that it's illegal to cover the yellow reflector right? DOT Safety regulation crap.

Call me crazy if you wish, but I like it, don't care much for the rims. Liquid Silver would have been the color I'd chosen for a brand-new '92 (like I could have afforded one then).

JDM corners are illegal too. To pass US DOT requirments, you need to have 2sq inch (i could be wrong) of reflector in the front corner between the light and the wheel. If you have another reflector, you can have the clear corners. L
