Either way, it won't work. I'll make a list as to why if you want.

I'm talking about the new SVI Steel grip. RacingManiac is talking about the SVI polymer grip.
Please explain why it won't work. I'd like to see your list, because I believe I already have all of the issues covered. It does require a bit more extra components besides the custom frame & real grip, including the trigger guard cross bolts and custom mag catch.
Not really going to give any more details of the conversion yet, till I get it done.

For the SVI medallions:
You have Captain KK custom cut you some TM grips for the SVI medallions.
Then you can use either the SD sticker SVI medallions or use ProG4's aluminum CNC's medallions. Then use TruGrip Grip tape.
For the trigger guard screws:
You can drill out the fake plastic heads off the stock TM grip, then glue on the SD screw heads.

This was what I was originally going to do till my head spun with ideas and worked some things out. I even have the TruGrip sitting here and collecting dust. I probably won't use it anymore if I can get this project done right.
It all started with an obscure post in a Japanese airsoft forum.

Is that not just a paraphrase of what I said? The front sight is not moving relative to the barrel... because it's attached to the barrel.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm detail picking.

I believe it refers to the shortened scallop cut on the slide mated to the extended angled dust cover. I've tried researching the term for a while, and found no direct explanations, but it seems like "Butler Stirrup Cut" or "Butler Style Stirrup Cut" are always terms linked to builds that have the features I just described.
I agree, with your terminology on the "Xcelerator Fluting" - I've seen SVI refer to the matched slide/frame serrations as "Xcelerator fluting" or "FreeForm Cuts", which is why I did not think that was the "Butler Stirrup Cut."
