Good color change paint job I know how difficult that is . I changed a yellow faded Cuda to black .
I like the black top... I was thinking of doing my Laguna blue roof black. Gives the top of the car the glass bubble look I like .

Thanks alot for the feedback.

I will take some more photo when i have got the other parts also.
And when i get new rims also. I cant use white rims on a yellow car.

You need chrome rims . Don't do black or gold . the black will make it look like a NY cab <LOL>

For rims either silver or a dark silver/grey like this would be perfect I bet.

Conn SVX · #26 08-31-2011, 02:58 PM

Oh yea that would be great ... No darker maybe even a bit lighter , If I kept my White pearl I was going to go yellow or orange (Candy Tahitian orange ) and leave the top black . NEVER saw an orange one ( deep orange not bright ) has anyone ?

They are STi rims that someone powdercoated a darker color. There was a dark grey color that was available in addition to the usual silver and gold. These are not as dark as the stock dark grey color, and I think they look a lot better. The rims the BBSes that were a factory option from 05-07 (04 looks the same but are 4 x 100mm and not as wide). They fit perfectly on an SVX, exactly the right offset and everything.

I have a set of silver ones on my blue svx and another set in the garage waiting for new tires that I am going to have powdercoated that dark grey color and put on my black svx.
