The rotors are R1 concepts drilled/slotted rotors. I also have their SS brake lines and pads.
The calipers are painted: front - red/silver, back red. Rear calipers will need to be repainted because painting in winter time is a good way to mess a job up:-D

Where did you get the short shifter? Is it the DIY kind? Why would you trade the 9-3 for an NG900???

yes it is the diy style short shifter, and the reason for the possible trade is that it is a 2 door (lighter), and he will be trading it with an sqr stage IV ecu, tdo4 turbo, 3" dp and exhaust and from there i have the rest to make for a fully built up stage IV car plus I will be able to purchase rims and suspention and chasis work. but it is still in the works so we will see what happens.

Nice car, I can only imagine the nightmare of keeping a black car as clean as that:))

Actually, it's brown, with a little black

. I think it was only on 2004 MY 9-3s, and it's sort of rare. It sits in my garage from September to May usually, but yesterday I drove it becuase it was like 70 degrees...I managed to spin the tires a good bunch before the traction control kicked in....reminded me how fun it is....:D.
The center console is a P.I.T.A to keep clean. All the little gaps and crevices are dirty, and it is impossible to clean there. But it's sparkling clean as of now.

Brown??? Never seen a brown one before:))) Must be nice to be able to garage it for the winter.
I never thought a 4 door could be cool until I got a Saab. Onlookers may think I am in a family car, but I feel like I am in a race car.
