Rural photo-shoot of the new Saab
Friday, May 21, 2010 12:17 PM
Gave the car a nice cleaning and first wax and went out for a nice scenic drive and took some shots.

No, real mods right now, just some 20mm wheel spacers on the rear (still debating whether I want to do 15mm on the fronts or not) and also debating getting a BSR Optiflow open air intake or just a K&N drop in.

Enjoy!

































Comments welcomed!

Spacers look good, and those wheels look 1000x times better than the stock Aero wheels.

I love it.

Really would like to try those wheels on mine providing I had more stance back!

Because the wheels were tucked too far into the fenders to begin with. it gets them out a little more flush with the body line.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Great pics - I love the color! Also, these powerplants sound absolutely SICK with an aftermarket exhaust - almost like a VQ, but deeper its pure sex. Just sayin .

Thanks everyone. They are stock saab wheels but not for this car, they're from the 04 I traded in and swapped wheels. I would love to get some coil overs and give it the super aggressive stance I'm looking for, but as of now I love it. not another 08+ in town so it actually turns some heads. its nice to have a car I finally can just enjoy. as for exhaust, all in due time

For sure splurge on the Optiflow, they do wonders for that car.

I think I 've decided to do this and will be ordering this week, I'll post a video of that when that's installed.

Saab's don't use wheel studs

The Eibach spacers came with longer, stronger wheel bolts though.

Only thing I've ever worked on like such was a VW, never thought of such.

My apologies.

I was just giving you a hard time, thats all. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VERY FEW Saturns, VW, Porsche (minues the Carrera GT I think) and Saab have the lug-stud combo. There might be others, just havent worked on any $200,000 cars yet.

Haha, I thought those wheels looked familiar! The Saab is looking great as always man! Can't wait to see/hear the exhaust done! And this thing would look sick slammed on some coilovers....
