PRD2BDF Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Wanted to share some updates of the SAAB. The first addition was adding exhaust tips. My tips were hidden by the Arc rear skirt and when I got rear-ended back in October, I found an Aero rear skirt that now exposed the tips. Before http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/2011-12-11_15-56-09_844.jpg After http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/2012-04-02_16-13-30_838.jpg I got tired of the 2.0T badge so I decided to replace it with a discrete turbocharged badge from a Cobalt SS http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00123.jpg I decided to purchase a roof rack for the car http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00120.jpg Generous shots http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00121-1.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00118.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00119.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00117.jpg One of my favorite additions to the car: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/DSC00125.jpg It is a map of the United States and I fill each state that the SAAB has touched. My goal is to cover the entire lower 48. It is really an adventure in itself. I need to fill in Tennessee, Tail of the Dragon, anyone? Those who saw the car and commented on it. I thank you guys very much. It makes it all worthwhile! As always, I encourage feedback both negative and positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Love it, Cody! Only thing else I would do is smoked license plate covers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Good photos. Your car's very sharp in person -- a number of people commented on that last night on Sawmill. I think the mods are tasteful, even understated. I'm curious, Cody. Do you use the roof rack or did you add it strictly for aesthetic reasons?

(no pun intended) I always appreciate comments especially from you with a Bentley! Heck no, I think people who buy roof racks for aesthetic reasons are morons. I bought mine because I have a bike that I would like to carry around especially to Pennsylvania where my best friend lives. We like to go biking. I also build things from wood and I'm sick of sticking long wood in the back of the car and have it be unstable. The wood will go on top now and be properly secured. I'm also looking for a cheap canoe too. So long story short, when I don't need it, it's off the car. When I need it, it's on the car. Aren't smoked plate covers illegal?

1fynz Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 ^ this. never had any issues with mine and I've had them on many different cars. I was pulled over a few years ago in Dublin and given a ticket(no warning:fuuuu:). They were also mentioned at one of those random vehicle safety checkpoints last month in Delaware.

Cordell Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 It is a nice clean Saab :thumbup: Now that I know who you are, feel free to say hi when you see me, but your notepad will get a workout because I failed miserably trying to learn sign.

PRD2BDF Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Spank you very much. I appreciate the comments. I've thought about either painting or powdercoating the wheels a darker color. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c161/spedponcho/darkenedwheels.jpg Ive seen this before Really? Where?

Aaron Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Car looks good. I'd leave the wheels as is, you have the chrome exhaust tips, chrome front grill trim, etc, you need a bright wheel. See you around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
