This car was originally manufactured for the Gulf Area and came from Saudi Arabia to be exact. It has a JDM AWD configuration (36/64) with no O2 sensors, so it is typically the fastest SVX ever produced by Fuji Heavy Industries.
The full bodykit/high spoiler trend started in Lebanon by the early 2000. I was around 22 years old at that time and wanted to have my share of the mania. But never trusted anyone with my car and preferred to go watch a fiberglass craftsman in action, see "how he shapes" the parts and what materials he uses. it only took a will for me to dare and step in a world I knew nothing about...
So I learned how to work with Fiberglass and started experimenting first on my other car, the VW MK1. After mastering it correctly, I carefully fabricated this bodykit you see on my SVX and it took me around 3 years in trial and error (concerning design) until I reached the shape you see here.
