They answered with what else the SVT has. You plan is to make your se an modified SVT
They gave you MODIFIED answers, and tried to save you money in the process.
Sorry they cared.. you are right.. you shouldn't have asked. you should have searched.. then you could know it without getting upset at us for helping you.

it's really simple, you asked about turning your SE into a modified SVT, the main differneces in the SVT are: suspension, body kit, interior, wheels, shifter, sway bars, badges, floor mats, PCM, exhaust and... the engine (prolly more stuff I'm forgetting). So when everyone started suggesting the move to a 3L instead of trying to replicate an SVT 2.5L they were doing so in an attempt to help you get comparable performance to an SVT without spending two arms, a leg and your first born.
If you're not interested in increasing your car's performance, just in making it into a poser SVT, then you could have nicely said, "Sorry, guys not interested in how to gain performance, really just wondering what it would take to confuse people into thinking that my SE is an SVT."
Then we would have nicely replied, "Buy the bumpers and side skirts, remove your badges, get an SVT grill, wheels, and slit the exhaust into faux duals (like the SVT) and then it'll look just like an SVT from the outside." other's may even elaborate that to pull a really convincing conversion by including, "swap in a full SVT leather interior, and install a moon roof, and it'll be really difficult to tell."
but instead you bit the hand of the people trying to help you out, so now you are going to be hard-pressed not to have everyone respond with comments like, "Wow, what a dick!" or "Remove head from sphincter, search, then ask unanswered questions."
Now, doesn't it make more sence to be thankful that everyone responded nicely and in helpful way to begin with?

Maybe what you could do is go out and by a nice SVT - take all of the SVT stuff off of it and swap them over to your SE. Then take all of the SE parts and put them on the SVT. Then you would have a converted SE and a converted SVT. Maybe you could sell the SVT to make some of your money back. Tell them that it is modified.

If nobody mentioned it yet I'm sure the SVT reflector is different.
