Emmmm effing gorgeous, man. IMHO, yours and Antonio Wright's SVT are among the epitome of what a modded SVT should look like: no huge touring wings, no wild paint jobs. One of the greatest things about the SVT is that it's understated in it's looks. It's the essence of the sleeper. Everytime I think about wanting to do some mods for my car, yours is the kind of look I'd be shooting for.

I've been meaning to change it, but the car feels fine, so I've just been lazy. Maybe I'll change it around this week, and swap the pads out also... Dion, just my .02$ again but those nice grooves matter very little compared to the curved venting vanes that are within the rotor! THAT is the main reason you want them rotating properly. In the wrong direction they could very well be heating up like solid, non-vented rotors... not that bad, but close ... A good excuse to go and clean the inside of the wheels and suspension while you're at it  Props on the looks, it's been a while since we got pics from ya!

To be honest I wanted my car to look like dion's. I also used other styling cues like this BMW 328 [img] http://www.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=161786[/img] I know it is a two door but at work I always get asked "why did you take a picture of someone else driving your car?" Like I said before dion you were one of the original trend setter way back in day. You get big props and mad repsect from me. I can only hope one day my car can even be on the same level as yours. -Antonio

What I like Dion is that you still have your door ding strips. I left mine on my '00 T-red SVT, I like the way it breaks up the side of the car. Usually the first thing people comment on is remove those, and lower if one's car isn't lowered...

Thanks for all the compliments, especially since I think there are so many other cars that have taken it farther than I have (antonio and pascal are two that come to my mind). Feels good to know that my car is still looks good to others......
