is it just me or from 01 to 06 has saab used a ****ty badge, mine plus almost every other 9-3 and 9-5 i see on the road around here the badges are chipped/peeled

Gazz · 03-16-2009, 02:51 PM

any car that uses a badge thats a sticker on metal will peel.....that said my 9-3 still had perfect badges at 71k

They usually will replace them for free.

If you do not want to go through the hassle, put a laminate on the top.

Exhaust work done. I threw a quick vid up. Just switched out the muffler for a glasspack and removed the stock resonator. It was a cheap solution at ~$80 for a lot better sound. As soon as I get some extra cash it's getting a stainless 3" downpipe and tune good for ~280-300whp

makes liek tree fiddy hp

I can't decide if I want to tackle replacing the front struts with the Koni yellows I picked up or let the shop do it. I got the rears fine but the front looks sorta difficult.

i love those viggen wheels, the 3 spoke ones.

Gazz · 06-04-2009, 04:11 PM

3 spoke viggen wheels?

hwhat

lazycow54 · 06-04-2009, 04:14 PM

The 3 spokes that are on in the previous pictures are just run of the mill 16" Saab wheels. I'm not sure exactly what they came on but I have my set of winter tires mounted on them.

Gazz · 06-04-2009, 04:18 PM

oh, those wheels. I have a set of those wheels. they came on early 9-5's. maybe 900/9-3's too, idk.

I has the same dash as you

was swapped

is meh

Alan777 · 06-04-2009, 04:19 PM

whatever, i dont know saab stuff

i know your's is a viggen and i like the wheels

Gazz · 06-04-2009, 04:24 PM

viggen wheels

WIN wheels

900/9-3's came with I think 2 different types of five spoke wheels and 2 different types of three spoke wheels. then obviously viggen wheels. and steelies.

Gazz · 06-04-2009, 04:34 PM

I want this front bumper. $$ tho and I'd probably destroy it.

Supra_MKIII · 06-04-2009, 04:38 PM
