agreed.

SVT Bodywork:OK
SVT badging on a non SVT without the go to back up the badging is just wrong :nonono:

now if you had a 3L dropped in, then we would talk.

Okay, this is just moronic, why put a Giant SVT vynal on the side of your car, and leave the SE badge in the fender?

Still say no to the mis badging regardless of power or not.

I agree with Pole here. I'm in the same boat you are in. I have an SE that is basically cloned to look like an SVT, but I have never claimed my car to be an SVT and there are no labels to make it appear to be an SVT, except for on the tach but what choice did I have. I don't care that my car isn't technically an "SVT" I'm happy with having an SE that could spank most of the SVT's on this board, minus the fact that it currently is missing the engine right now. Just take of the SVT badges and you'll be good to go. Get that baby a drop too.
 
That's a lot of work to make an SE into an SVT. I'll give you props on that nice job. I think the SVT logo on the sie could have been done a little further down on the door but to each his own.

Might wanna lose the SE badging on the side as already mentioned. Just throw some corner signals in there instead or somethin.

Nah, but I wouldn't have added the SVT anything to the car:shrug:

Exactly what I was thinking...

Look, I dont think the car looks bad in any respect, I love the look of the SVT kit.

Its the fact that he threw SVT badges everywhere, if he hadnt have done that im sure complements would have more been in store.
