SVX 94 photos (my design...my job)
Hello guys. I just finished my project. It was long and difficult.
http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52672 A few pictures was shot by me today. I will consent that it looks debatable and will please not all. However I hope you will estimate my efforts on making of unique bodykits for SVX.

Re: SVX 94 photos (my design...my job)
More than fair enough, you have one of a kind and it looks very nice.
You have not gone overboard, and what you have come up with is very tasteful. Most important, you have not messed up the practical nature of the original concept. You should be very proud of your workmanship. The wheels are a good choice. So many shown here are downright awful. Is unfortunate that the rather sensational high lustre you have imparted, does not help photography and reflection gives a wrong impression that the lines of the panels has been upset. You need a polaroid filter. If someone does not like it, the dislike can only be based on opinion rather than fact, i.e. you have most certainly not spoiled or ruined the car.

Re: SVX 94 photos (my design...my job)
Dimitry, the modifications you have done on your car are really impressive, kudos for that. Yours became as unique as mine...
I want to show you here my version of your version if I may... Sorry for using primitive ways to express myself... you can see below three pictures, the first is yours, stock, the second is mine, modified and the third is the same as the second but showing where it was modified. How I see it, the front bar below the grille should be thicker in height. The right and left lower sides of the front and rear bumper should be lower (and also have a similar look in a sideview) to flow with the skirts of your car. Again Dimitry, I highly respect your work, your FG finishing look is really clean and rare...

Thank you Danny. I agree with your remarks. I think this will be the next stage of my project. Possibly I will change the form of front and rear bumpers or will use ideas similar from Legacy.

If you need any second opinion through photoshops, let me know
The Legacy rears can work, but what will you do with the fronts?

The large air intake is rather out of proportion, but this could be improved and the effect softened, by means of a line across from each side through at centre level, so as to break up the open area into two. At this stage this could take the form of an add on crosswise piece of polished stainless sheet folded into al tear drop form, so that from front on it will fairly closely match the grill surround. A change in the mould could provide for two smaller slots which would surely be an ideal compromise. Better still and very smart, would be a second surround matching the grill above, forming two inlet areas. However this would be an expensive exercise. What the hell anyway. Part of the object must have been to create an interesting conversation piece. "Head turner" I think is the term. Success in this regard has now been well and truly proven. P.S. Having now looked at the Porsche photos, it is clear that if the number plate is mounted within the lower opening, this will help a lot. An SVX logo could be combined with it so as to break up the space even further.

Re: SVX 94 photos (my design...my job)
Farang,
Loved (most) of your photoshops. Have to say my OPINION of your car is that it's downright ugly. But thats not the important part. The fact that you came up with something, executed, and painted is truly remarkable. There are too many "talkers" and not enough "do'ers" in this world. You sir, are a "do'er". And that counts for alot more than how ugly I think your car is or isn't.
