Updated Pics of the SAAB

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.

I got tired of the 2.0T badge so I decided to replace it with a discrete turbocharged badge from a Cobalt SS

I decided to purchase a roof rack for the car

One of my favorite additions to the car:

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.

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?

That's really nice to hear! (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?

Love it, Cody!

 

Only thing else I would do is smoked license plate covers...

 

^ this. never had any issues with mine and I've had them on many different cars.

 

Car looks good. I like the wheels. They work well on it.

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.

Spank you very much. I appreciate the comments. I've thought about either painting or powdercoating the wheels a darker color.
