My Remodified SVX

[black beast]

I like it, Though I think it would be more functional if it were in the middle, or pushed back a little more to let the heat out of the engine better.

Look guys, i will be saying this very frankly, I foresee the materials cost around $100 including the two metal brackets near the windshield. there still the two metal clips in the front as you can see on my car (you can buy them from over there and install them by yourselves...) there is also labor costs amounting to $60... now concerning shipping, i prefer as usual be a group buy thing, i would send them by sea, waaaaay cheaper than UPS or DHL...

and what about water? keep coming to the engine? youdon't have a turbo radiator on top of your engine manifold...

You did a great job on the corner lights. By amber they mean the color of the light. The orange color. He meant are you going to get clear lights instead oe keeping the amber ones in.

Looks great, and I agree that you should lower the wing a little bit.

Depending on price, I would also be interested in the grill.

hehehe, i dunno but i feel stupid in english today... you call them amber the yellow ones? hehe, anyway yes, i am going to keep them because the other side markers light up also with the same "amber" color when i turn my lights on.... they look gr8 during nighttime

euh, wait a minute, I installed the clear corners and lenses there... and did some Vynil upgrade on both of them... check it out again...

concerning the wing, yeah i will do it, maybe in a couple of months, i have to remanufacture the Aluminum brackets and cut them on a laser machine (i know a shop who can do it)
Concerning the grille, this is the stock grille of our car, but i used the grinder to cut a part of the transparent plastic thing to form the shape you see. I filled the interior with a clever mix of fiberglass and lightweight wood.
I think i can make a mold for the grille and manufacture it purely with fiberglass. I almost forgot, there is also the metal part of it, the metal grill..

Wow, I never would have thought that was actually a stock grill, good job!

I think it might also look better with a little more detail on the side. Maybe widen the fenders or add some type of air vent near the rear wheels?

I was working on a fiberglass fenders with some mods, i made a mold for the right fender, but then i thought what about the front looks of the car? in front it would look very aggressive and the rear very classical. Plus i cannot do anything with the rear fenders, they are welded and i don't want to do some adds up, i don't want to drill holes in them.
And when dad saw me working on some fiberglass fenders, he started laughing at me saying: "why don't you design and construct and entire car made of Fiberglass..."
The whole idea of this Fiberglass thing is not only for looks, but also to shave some weight off... the fenders aren't that heavy to require a fiber transformation.

Yes, the amber is the orangish color.....It appears you have clear corners, but now that I look closer, something is orange.....so I was thinking the bulb.
I know the side markers on the fenders can be fitted with any colored bulbs....Your's would look great with a white light.

Wow. That front end looks great. Is the front bumper completely custom, or did you start with an Impreza front bumper?

I was going to say, that front bumper kinda looks STI-esque. The hood looks great btw Danny...

I must say, that although I think a lot of ricey stuff is done in bad taste...

this is very, very sharp!!

[SVX-FF]

Danny all I have to say is WOW very nice, I mean the car too

I want a front bumper. How much?

J/K What vehicle did you get the lower part of the front bumper from. I was thinking of somthing similar but did not know what car had a similar front end size.
