Re: My finished exterior mod

I am sure I am in the minority here, but I like it. I think your car looks great, especially in that last picture from the front angle. Oh, and I like your new user name too.

Re: My finished exterior mod

It looks right on a '69 Hemi Daytona Charger but it's a little much for the SVX. The car and the wheels are beautiful though.

Re: My finished exterior mod

I like it except for the wing. Actually, the wing isn't that bad but I personally think it would be a lot nicer if it were about half a foot shorter.

I, at least was aware. So there was no slippage. He actually ASKED if he could create a new persona for a new start, so give him a chance already. ALL OF YOU.

Re: My finished exterior mod

Not sure if that will help the aerodynamics, it might put extra drag on the car at speed. Windtunnel research will be needed to see if it will slow the car or make it unstable - unbalanced. that's my comment.

+1, if it were equal to or shorter than the roof line.

Re: My finished exterior mod

Yeah give of a chance to be a better member. I wont screw things up this time.
I wish it were 1.25" shorter but its too late now. Im done putting money into this thing. Aside from that minor height adjustment I am very, very happy with it. To me, it looks much better in person than in the picture.
