Hm. I think it´s a bit (sorry) tachy. Too big, too much "in your face". SAABs are supposed to be stylish, like Scandinavian design. Not look like a Honda...
Well see thats one of the good things about a TRUE forum....with enough interest we can get things made. As more people are added to the forum, and possibly work along with another...we may be able to get a less expensive kit made here in the US (which would drop the price considerably). Even a Urethane kit, or front at least. But once again the trick is in the numbers and interest.
I'd worry a bit about scraping with the front so low.. I have a 1.3" drop on my car already.
Does anyone know what the kit is made from? Fiberglas will crack on the first hit. Polyurethane will develop waves over time. Carbon fiber? That would be lucky.
Foglamp mounting? Get some big KC Hilites and look like a WRX
Once more people get on this site, maybe we can get a Urethane version made from a local company and get a Group Buy going..this will cut down costs, and open the market for many other templates.
Just to show you that this kit does look awesome, even in different colors. And by the way, never mention Saab and Honda in the same sentence please. Totally different style, this body kit looks nothing like shitty honda kits. Later.
Yea i noticed those new pictures you had on your site. Very nice. I'd still like to see it on a normally colored Saab...maybe like a silver or black, but it does look very nice none-the-less. No Honda or rice here....straight European design.
personally i think it looks really ricey. You wont be able to lower the car also. The rear valence drops down way too much to look remotely good. They should make a similar kit that drops down half the distance and then you just lower your car so its just as low with a much lower center of gravity. This leads to better handling. All this kit does is make the car look taller and narrower. Maybe it will look good in different colors but it still too showy for me.
i too preffer the look of the viggen kit...its more subtle...but that new one is new!
and all ive seen it in are bright colors....here it is in black...a little less show boaty....i dont care for the rear spoiler..id rather have the viggens....oh well they are both expencive!!!!
i like the hood and the fog lights behind the mesh....
Holy Shit dude. I have never seen the body kit on a black car, and that is amazing! Where did you find that pic at (obviously cardomain, but who's site)? That is awesome. OMG....
Doesn't look too bad in black, but I'll take a Viggen style any day over that. And it doesn't look to much like anything Honda, which is good, but it's just too flashy for my taste.
i think before body kits you need wheels......and saabs bolt pattern sucks.......im sick of my bent viggen rims and im getting new rims after the snow melts in hopefully late february.........I am hoping to get Kahn RS-R's in 17x8 but i may go 18x8 if it will fit and they wont bend....im under the impression that anything bigger with a smaller sidewall will bend easily but then again im basing that on my viggen rims which are soft and suckkkkk.....what does everyone think 18 or 17 (sorry probably should be doing this on a new post)
i got that pic from someone at SaabScene.com yes it does look very clean in black....the hood looks like it could probably be made...i wouldnt be supprised if that one was just takin to a shop and had the vents cut out.....i would like to see the kit in silver then id realy know if id get it or the viggen.....
oh money
PS: WS i too agree wheels come first!! it should be a rule!
That is hot .. I love the viggen kit too, fits my car a lil better though .. ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET A VIGGEN BODY KIT ?? PM if you know ... thanks !!
I'm pretty new here but would have to agree with WS,That kit looks really RICE!!!!!!!!!! IMO your taken away from the Saab's elegant sporty look with that kit................
HAVE A 1997 SAAB 900SE TURBO 2D
