Hi Im an 18 year old from Massachusetts. I got my Saab in November of 07' with 68k miles on it at the time. My dad had purchased two Saabs in the past two years and I fell absolutely in love with them! I have been very satisfied with it. Im in the process of customizing it a bit. Would appreciate any feedback!!

Blazer Blue side indicators

Mesh Grille                                                                                        

Blazer Blue indoor dome lights

Nokya H-4 Arctic White headlights                                              

Smoked Taillights

Blazer blue covers on the blinkers                                                 

Turbo decal

New wipers from WallyWorld, Haha what an upgrade ;)           

Magnaflow Exhaust

35% WindowTint- Front windshield/front windows                   

New Flexpipe

20% WindowTint- Rear windshield/rear windows                       

GS Steering Rack Brace

GS ARB (22 mm)                                                                                 

GS Open Air Intake

MTX Audio Dual 12"s                                                                      

Kicker Amp

Replaced L-side Headlight (Some loser threw a rock at it and shattered it)

 

....Past mishap- On my bday recently I noticed my exhaust become 10x louder, it actually made me jump me so I got outta' the car and checked under the car. My whole flexpipe had disconnected and was hanging by a thread. Luckily National Tire and Battery took it in right away and got me a new one. Unfortunately I got to see all under the car and noticed all the way to the back of the car from the flexpipe that the downpipe and exhaust were in horrible shape. Between rusted away steel and different size pipes from the crappy exhaust job I got in the past, now I gotta' redo the whole thing. Somehow my dad has a spare stainless steel piece from Saab that covers from the flexpipe back that I'd get for free. I have the choice of doing that and sacrificing a custom sport exhaust from GS and/or new downpipe and save from 400-800$ or just upgrade to the new parts. What a birthday gift that was ......

Pics from this tragedy:

                                                         pipe fallen off. Bloody Iphone wouldn't email the photo.

And now to be replaced hopefully soon by either stock or custom depending on my budget.....

My suppliers: GenuineSaab and Elkparts

Purchased But Not Installed----> Custom Boxed Pioneer 4-way TS-A6908 6x9s mounting in replacement of rear headrests, JVC KD-G140 Indash-receiver, and Pioneer 2-way TS-G1642R 6 1/2"s.

Future ideas: Koni Springs, Bilstein Sport Struts, GS Urethane Bushings, Aluminum Dash kit, and another Kicker to power the rear 6x9s.

Thnx, Got the rims at a import parts place for $300 w/ pretty good rubber on them, minor curb rash but the clear coat on the lips is craked/fadded off. i'm probably gonna paint the inside black and repolish the lips. I also want to fix up the first set of rims but they are pretty curbed up and i dont know yet how to fix them.
