I think it looks pretty good actually. Lose the stickers, the interior, encase the headlamps, and shorten the wing about 4" and I think it'd look great.

I like the body kit a lot. Looks much better than stock to me.

I still think that the rear fenders, along with the front end are the worst part of it. But I give him praise for the front fenders, they are good.

Actually I was thinking for a while about such fenders for the SVX, I think they look awesome. I might attempt them in the future

I like the head lights, rims and the M3GTR looking fenders
the other stuff is just not nice
(as some have stated, he did put a lot of work and $$ into this, so I respect that)

Good lord!

I'll give them credit for probably having the most outlandish SVX there is, but IMHO it's not even an SVX anymore, it's the SVX's Frankensteinian Cousin with a bad haircut.

The idea is certainly novel and has a more "together" appearance about it than 99% of other bodywork examples i've seen, but like any bodykit's downfall it simply tries to do too much, and all at once too.

without the telltale windows or taillights, you wouldn't have a clue this used to be an SVX, perhaps that's the point, but frankly that just kinda scares me.

The interior seems rather juxtaposed too, though i do like where the LCD screen fits above the glovebox, it seems off center, but i wouldn't mind one for my passengers

putting one where the CD deck goes would be more meaningful but it's placement limits its use.

wowza though, that thing is just crazy.

when i first saw the front i thought it was a Mk IV Supra that had met an unfortunate chameloen-painted fate, but then i saw the windows...

Wing

Guess I could live with it except for that god awful fugly wing. Live with it but not drive it.

I agree--why do people think those wings look good on the beautiful car? Put them on some rice box.

Hahaha, I was really surprised no one jumped on him for it before you. LOL.

Eh, I respect it for novel at the VERY least. And artisticly on a few different levels.

Just to correct your english... no more.

Actually my friend I have a more dramatic thing in mind for the SVX... something really smooth and classy. (well something related to metal cutting and welding.... )

Shocking surprises to come
