I would start out with a good wax. A clay bar would help as well. Next, a good detail will help if you get it all clean inside.

If that is not what you are wanting, we need more details.

Thanks. Well I have a pair seats on the way and my paint is always spotless. I spend way too much time washing it. Oh and a Sony Xplode headunit amp and sub. I am thinking about getting it painted soon, I am thinking black and silver. Sometime I will be getting wheels. But I could use more suggestions.

The search button is your friend. Check the MOD Mania sections for exterior and interior improvements. Remember, many of us like the look of our cars from the factory.

There is no reason an SVX can't be modded tastefully. Now granted not everyone is a Gugario, but there are ways to improve any design.

One glowing example, the Cloud bodykit. It's universally praised as the very best match for the SVX shape.


It's your car, do it your way, doubters be d*****

As with any car, make yourself a plan, then STICK TO IT. If you set down a plan all at once, odds are it will look good together.

Get a good detail and clean your interior.

Out of curiosity how much does the full Cloud body kit cost?

I'm pretty sure the Cloud kit was a one-off. There are people making the varoius parts of it. I don't think anyone has a full production ready part as of yet.

Correction: I dont even think that kit exists, somehthing about the lighting and the shadows is off to me.

Best way to make the car look better are to start with the small things. the jdm clear corner lights, I feel, make the front and sides of the car look MUCH better. you can also tint over the amber bits of the tail lights to aid in cleaning up the looks. perhaps then you'd change up your spoiler...Either add one,move it back a bit, take it off, or replace it with a jdm one...whichever suits your tastes.
Also, you could look into getting a good set of 17 or 18 inch wheels to really set off the outside a bit. you could also accessorise your wheels by lowering it a bit...weather that be by drop springs or proformance coil-overs.
for the interoir, mabey go about trying to change the color of the lighting...Its a very involved project, but not too expensive. Perhaps send the suede bits out to be reupholstered, weather in the stock material, or in a diffrent color, or in leater instead...Once again, whatever suits your tastes


Edit...you LIVE in Reading?!?! did you happen upon our gigantic meet a few months ago?

Probably not since the Reading Meet has never been held within 15 minutes of Reading.

Promise, just so you know, the largest annual gathering of SVX's is held every April in Morgantown. Next year will be the TENTH!!!! This year we had over 50 SVX's, next year will be even bigger. There is a seperate forum on the boards here dedicated solely to Reading Meets, check it out.
