    Can you give me a price and I'll see if i can come up with the $$$ for them. That is of course if you still have them and wanna sell them.

    I know a lot of people dont like the idea of Flared wheel guards like those on the SSX. I think they are fantastic. Other than the wheel Guards I dont think the SSX's Body kit is that great. So for me, im thinking of getting a HSV clubby Kit or something and adding the SSX Wheel Guards. Then, I think if it can all be mated properly it will look Awesome. Problem is of course, I may have to get wider Rims and tires so the line up properly. I dont think they will look good if they are sticking out an inch or two wider than the Wheels and tires. The other concern is how the lower rear part of the front bumper mates to the lower front part of the wheel guards etc. So it may be some messing about to get it to all work, but I reckon it would be worth it. Its a shame there is not more SSX's on the road. Im not sure off the top of my head which V8 it had in it, but one of its downfalls was that it was no more powerful than other models V8's and then its weight and AWD driver train caused it to have less power and poorer fuel economy. I reckon with just a little Engine work. You know a tune and a few parts and it would have been a great car. I also thought the Hatch back Boot wAs a great Idea. If you have the money. It could well be a good car to get your hands on as I have a feeling in a few more years they could well be a collectors item. Or at least a highly sort after car, or at the very least sort after more than it is right now.

    There are none on the road, this was just a concept car. Never went into production.

    Owned...

    Got to love it when someone rattles on about something and then it turns out it's all arse.

    But yeah, SSX was concept, few companies did kits based on it but it was never a production car. So I would say it's biggers downfall was the fact it was never produced...
