Haha... I will be "deleting" the antenna in mine, probably be upgrading to something modern far from those silly 80's aluminum antennas.

Re: New wheels for my SVX

A set of low dust brake pads like these will stop the wheels from getting too dirty.

AKEBONO Part # ACT471 {ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad}
OE material is ceramic; Rear

AKEBONO Part # ACT333 {ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad}
OE material is ceramic; Front

You can get them from rockauto.com for one.

Re: New wheels for my SVX

Here is what it looked like after the 1000grit paper:
I was like omg this better buff out! lol


Repeated with 1500grit.

Repeated with 2000grit.

Then some plastic polish.

Then some wax.

And this is what it looked like after:



So, Before:


After:



I chose to post this in this thread as to not make another headlight cleaning thread.
This is basically the Looking4SVX picture thread now anyways.

Re: New wheels for my SVX

If I was to spray the headlights with krylon krystal clear coat, would that stop them from turning yellow as quickly?
Or is it bad to clear coat the headlights?
