This is my beloved SVX in all her Laguna glory.
I haven't modded much yet, I've just replaced the standard Halogen Bulbs with true 6000k HID low-beams and put a 50% tint all the way around the car with the exception of the roll-down, (lower-portion) of the front windows which I made 70% to keep them looking legal for California.
Otherwise, i'm just enjoying the car as it was originally intended in stock form, it really feels like a new car since I bought it with the odometer reading a very low 52k miles, definitely something to brag about, as you'd be hard pressed to find many svx's in this year or any other, with much less than 90-100k on the meter.
Aside from the rare color liquid silver, these blue babes are extremely hard to find compared to other svx's. But luck was on my side when I went out looking for one, having found THREE blue ones for sale in my general area, I was an extremely happy camper indeed.
I've removed the side-badges since the last time I took photos, they look a little tacky but I love them anyway, so I just keep them as memorabilia now haha.

Of course, I've since moved from Boise and now I'm in Ventura, CA. And I've only seen two SVX's in the last 3 months here, so either no one with one lives here or I just haven't had my eyes peeled open long enough. Whatever the case, it'd be cool to see some more around here. This wonderful car drove me from Boise to L.A. without any trouble, it's a fantastic cruiser.
Needless to say, she's in excellent shape for a 13+ year-old car, and I'm gonna keep it that way.

Mods down the road:
_____________________
-Some different rims (i prefer clean and smooth 5 spoke designs; or similar)
-A new audio system, the stock housing has good room for a nice touchscreen unit
-Quad-tip exhaust
-clear headlight lenses and a smallcar grille, but i'm 50/50 because the stock units actually look fantastic in person and i debate whether the money would be worth it.
-ECU Tune kit
those are my ideas, but i like her just the way she is for now
