Idea's.
Well, I'm going to start running into more money soon (finish paying off loan next paycheck! and get a bonus and some other items being sold)
So I'm going to make my SVX exactly what i'd like it to be. My idea's/plans 5 Speed transmission (not sure which setup i'm going to go with, would like to learn more about whats best choice?) Painted black at a professional local paintshop New rims- I am leaning towards black, or Jman050 recent project has made me think of gold... Full straight piped exhaust, not sure to go with 2"/2.5" or 3"? Currently have stock exhaust with all 3 cats cut out and pipes welded in place with a customly made resonator put in. it's good enough for now but would rather do 2 straight pipes. Like to find a Alcyone hood emblem. Going to keep my stock spoiler, i rather like how it looks. Going to most likely Limo Tint the rear passenger windows and back window. My province doesn't allow me to tint driver/passenger windows  Not planning on any significant interior changes. Got good audio system (Clarion deck, Pioneer 6X9's, 1000W amp powering dual 12" subs.) and all my leather and everything is in perfect condition. Any idea's or suggestions would be lovely!!

2"/2.5" or 3"...
2.5" or 3" might be counter-productive if you do not plan on going the forced induction way. More money is always good, congratulations! If it is too much, let me know - I can help

For true dual there's no point to going bigger than 2" unless you have plans to turbo/supercharge. As for the 5MT, I'd say best bet is the WRX box with 3.90 gearing.

Since you cannot tint the front windows I would not tint any at all. It just dosn't look right on an svx having just the rear windows blacked out. It messes with the whole split window look. thats my thought on it

It would still look nice if you tinted the back half some-what, but deffinetly not limo tint. And if you do end up doing limo tint your gonna hate it because the rear-window will be useless during night driving (trust me on that one, and I didnt even go as dark as limo). Really the best combo would be 1-2 shades of tint so its not a big contrast from the front of the car to the rear. Dustin

thanks for the help guys!
so a good idea would be to just do 2" dual striaghtpipes? i agree, tinting the rear and not the front would contrast quite a bit... i might just lightly shade the rear window and thats all. or just tint everything and wait till i get pulled over...but thats no fun. for the 5MT, should i start looking around at wreckers, or better idea just to go new?
