Our insurance did not go up when i went from a 95 SE that got stolen to the 98 SVT I bought in 97. Ford bought my 98 (beautiful Red, I miss it) SVT back and I was forced to buy another ford product. So I went right back to another SVT because I loved it so much. Now I have Silver. Insurance never went up. Maybe your insurance company is too smart and you need to get a dumber agent like mine so that they don't know the difference.

I also think it would be very expensive to take svt parts and make an se look like an svt. Interior on the SVT is distinctly different. Outside is cheap enough, but the suspension, engine parts, seats, guages, you get the idea. Cheaper to buy someone's used SVT.
