I'm a standard man.

Each to their own but when I see SVX or KBG (yes, I know it's KBX, but it sounds better), I always think of that freaky man that can pop his eyes out.

I don't like the idea of the svx grill and light surrounds being they move the front out near enough in line with the bumper so the lightest tap and you have wing damage as well

Seconded. I personally think that the SVX/KBX grilles are abominations and wouldn't fit one in a month of Sundays (an anti-theft layer, perhaps, to make the vehicle look unattractive). They bring to my mind those women who mysteriously pump their lips with plastic surgery so much that it makes them look like a Daimler V8 SP250 "Dart".

I'm not a great fan of the SVX look, but each to their own. I do like the KBX grill though and went from this ..

I love colour coded front end on this Aintree Green from Twisted. Keeping it OEM but some decent paint that will last!
