you would spend more on converting you car to an svt than actually making it into one.  Lets do a breakdown.
SVT Upper intake manifold
SVT lower intake manifold
SVT 60mm TB
SVT Cams
SVT cylinder heads
SVT 10:1 or 10.25:1 pistons
SVT conical filter
5 speed swap if you dont already have one
Lightened flywheel
Upgraded clutch
Upgraded suspension
SVT quasi dual exhaust
Larger inlet catalytic convertor
SVT ECU
SVT front and rear fascias and side skirts
SVT wheels and tires
SVT mesh grills
Prarie tan or Midnight blue interior seats and doors. Dont forget the dash and shift boot to match too! 
SVT gauge cluster
and all the badges to put on your car. 
even then it would not be a CSVT. it would not have the few things that make it a true SVT.
-the SVT VIN
-the SVT Bulid #
-the SVT CERT. of authenticity (or whatever you CSVT owners call that thing)
Regards, Cole.

Don't get the badges. Get the kit and what not. Make it pretty, but if it's not a SVT, then it's not a SVT.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

I hate it when people do this. Please don't try to pretend that your car is an SVT, that is just stupid. If you like the body kit then get the body kit, but please don't try to pass off as a real SVT vehicle. I hate it when people try to pretend to be something else. Why don't you put type-r stickers on it too! Please keep the SVT badges off of your car. I am not saying there is anything wrong with having a mystique, just don't try to pass off as something you're not.
