Yes, but not any good ones. If it would ever stop snowing long enough me for to get it washed, I'll try to take some more. Here's one when I had the two black beauties :cry:-

I didn't say they were in bad shape. It was an observation about the color black. I was maybe being a bit too sarcastic. I would take a black CSVT over my T-red GL any day. And I wasn't diggin on your car. It's a nice-looking car to say the least.

Good luck with it. It really is a nice car. And to be honest, it looks alot better than my 12-year daily driver
 
New SVT owner

New SVT owner

Bought SVT #5489 in Mid February, but since I live in Mississippi, had to wait to go get it from my parents house. Finally picked it up this weekend. Bone stock for now. Rolled 40k miles while I drove it back home. :cry:

I Love it, definately a upgrade from my SE Sport. :cool:

I am not a fan of the build number on the side of the car, leave it where it belongs, under the drivers side headlight saleen style.
 
Well I like it where it is. Everybody does it under the dhl. Plus as many SVT's that are driving around with the huge SVT on the side I should at least get some props for being original and doing the build number instead.
Wheels are basically the stockers for now. Gonna have something better on in April:dizzy: . Everyone will have to wait to see.
 
Took these this morning while the thing was halfway clean after getting it washed last night-

I've got a new set of tires on the way for the rears. It needs them badly.
 
you guys gotta get them things lower to the ground... especially with the 40 profile tires. i went with 225/45 nittos and looks like this..... on eibach springs and new svt struts.

it has about 1/2" wheel gap in the front, and about 1" in the back. it wasnt fully settled there but was still sitting low. and had a nice rake, contrary to what the norm is with eibach springs.

you can see there's just about no wheel gap now.
 
TXOSVT-Your car is alot cleaner than mine...The paint on mine is shot...Clear on the trunk lid is cracking, back bumper paint is thin...Don't want to lower it as I drive 80 freeway miles everyday and don't want to feel every bump /road imperfections.....

Yeah. I have some eibachs and struts on the way, or so I think. Hopefully it will look much better with them on there. I'm a little worried about getting into the parking lot at my apartment with them though, because my front bumper already scrapes if I don't go in at a goofy angle. We'll see what happens.

Thanks Frank. I personally don't think that it looks great. It has a lot of flaws in my mind, but I've been told that a lot of the other black ones are much worse. I guess I would say that it's a good 10' car. In reality, for a 8 year old car with 90,000 mostly highway miles, I guess it could be a lot worse. I plan on repainted the front bumper this summer, so hopefully it will look better then.
