Hmm maybe it is time for another SVX for you to modify so you can just keep doing unique one of a kinds

The last photoshop Dimitry did is nice, at least to the legacy headlights/grille.
The bumper front openings can be really useful if he installs engine and tranny coolers behind them.

The air will hit the coolers and channel through the side openings to the outside

I understand it now. My way was reverse. It is a large mistake. I began to make a front bumper and hood first. But as they say Russians a "appetite comes during a meal"

A rear bumper was a next purpose. And only in the end I decided to install the side skirts. Therefore all these parts do not combine well between itself. Besides I learned to work in a fotoshop after the beginning my work and I could not to use more late ideas.

No man, they combine very well, the car looks awesome. My only thing I would change is that I would black out the chrome on the grille.

glad to see after all the countless photoshop ideas, one actually come to fruition. I love completely custom body work. I've always been a huge fan. I definitely think it was well executed, I do however agree with danny about the lines and the flow from front to back,

Farang, very nice work.

i would be curious to see what newer Legacy lights (and grille?) would look like on the SVX.......

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.

I already made the picture of SVX with headlights from Legacy.

I think it would looks so

Diggin' it! Any plans to replace the Legacy "L7" badge with an SVX Taurus?

I love your work. I really like the Legacy parts on your SVX. It looks like it could have been born that way. My only dislikes are the vents on the bumper sides. They ought to be the same on both ends. Then "compliment" them on the front and rear. If you go with a single vent, use a single opening for the outside grilles, or a double if you use doubles.

Just my opinion. Overall, I honestly love the look you've achieved. though I may be a bit biased

This is my thought on what a 1998 SVX may have looked like.

If possibly give me the exact sizes of Alcyone SVX badge. The price is more than 100$ and I am not sure that want to change emblem now

The back looks sick. The grill looks like some rally ricer car though - does not match at all in my opinion - looks like a soccer mom van grill in front - its too high for sure and too boxy/ugly for such a curvacious car. The rims are sick. Get a new grill and possibly a new badge and that thing will be a love machine.

Rodolfo · #29 08-25-2010, 04:24 PM

Wow, Dmitry. I like SilverSpear's first front-bar height suggestion, for sure; but otherwise his nice suggestions are as nice as your own beautiful creation. Your rear look is outstanding, especially the pipes and their frame; I do not like the Legacy look at all. Finally, the rim design is great, but I guess I'm the only one that would prefer a silver shade instead of the gold.

Did I say, Wow!?
