the only thing i would like to do (astheticly) is to get as close to the proto wide-body design as i could. i like the proto's look, much more aggressive and classy than the production models. performance mods, if it cost effective then it makes sense to do it. wheels, ehh its hard to find a good looking wheel besides the stockers. Spoiler wise. i like oe spoilers only. i have been trying to get my hands on a small WRX wing to do a dry-fit, just to see how it looks. the stock/JDM look fantastic on the car. the waterfall looks great when polished correctly (i need to do that)
In my opinion the overall look of the car is so unique that minimal mods need to be done, the car already draws enough attention as is. performance=$

I love the stock look. That being said there are things I think can be improved upon. Idealy the protoype SVX is absolutely perfect. It is one of my three dream cars. The 944 turbo S, the SVX, and the Pagani Zonda C12S.
The only things I would change about the current stock looks would be putting a 97 grill on it, I personally dont like the front bumper so an euro bumper will be going on here in my case, I think the lines of the car would look better with the sideskirts but thats not possible right now, and thats about it. As far as performance mods; Ill come back and edit this post. |

SVX is like Burger King
You can have it your way.
I think that the stock look is great but there is always room for personalizing. I have moved my rear spoiler back and the car looks better from the side. The spoiler extends off the deck lid but does not go past the rear bumper. from the rear it look the same. The lowering kit is not that bad. I saw Earthworms last spring and man did it look great. It had that right height look. Not to low. Steve

The stock looks are pretty hard to improve upon.(except the grill) No offense waterfall lovers. Now when it comes to performance mods,aaahhh, Well, you can see my siggy. I just gotta have my daily fix of horsepower.

A) Most common "performance" mods (such as butchering the intake) don't enhance performance. You might think you're gaining a smidgen of something somewhere, but I'll guarantee it's at the expense of something else. Those Subaru engineers are actually pretty bright folks. B) The SVX looks great as designed and nothing anyone does to it cosmetically is an improvement. C) Unlike the SVX, there are a bazillion cookie-cutter cars on the road for which speed and auto parts shops have all manner of aftermarket gadgets and gizmos. If "tuning's" your thing, buy something that's not rare and has aftermarket support, and tune that. D) Every modded SVX leaves one fewer stock example in the ranks, and that's a shame. It's one thing if you rescue a flogged-to-death SVX from the junkyard and mod or race it, but another thing entirely to go after a good solid stocker with a hacksaw in the essentially futile and pointless quest for a tad more speed, or noise, or whatever. dcb |
