Front spoiler, side skirts, and back skirt - 5/6/2008 2:09:24 PM    alexdrops   Posts: 52 Joined: 1/14/2008 Status: offline Okay so i posted the same topic in the 9-3 forum but i didnt get any responses so i figured its because i didnt post it in the right place so here it is again lol Okay..im in a new dilema and like always asking for your advice to help me decide sooner! I want to get the new GS front spoiler for my 9-3 and i am wondering how will it look without getting the rest of the body kit; as in side skirts and back skirt. Do you guys think itll look too obvious if i get just the front spoiler; too obvious that i am missing the rest of the body kit? id like to save money and think that itll look really good without having to get the rest of the kit, and also, does the aero side and back skirt sit lower than the regular side skirts that the 06 9-3 2.0T? thx, Alex GS front spoiler --> http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=590&osCsid=5251b5aa8810e2ae311dd31540cf7f0b Aero side skirts and back skirt  --> http://www.genuinesaab.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=44_48&products_id=484&osCsid=5251b5aa8810e2ae311dd31540cf7f0b Post #: 1

RE: Front spoiler, side skirts, and back skirt - 5/6/2008 4:53:41 PM    alexdrops   Posts: 52 Joined: 1/14/2008 Status: offline Yeah they have a few things. So they are about 1.5 inches lower...okay good because now that i have these new wheels on, i want to lower it and everybodys been telling me to lower it as well. At the same time, the car is fairly new, still under warranty so idk if i should lower it. With that said, im looking to buy the sideskirts, front spoiler and the back skirt to make the car look lower..hopefully, and even if it doesnt look any lower im sure itll still look good. About that front spoiler, I talked to Nick the other day at GS and he said that he will be getting those in about 2-3 weeks. Kinda sucks, he shouldve had them already, idk whats the delay; 2-3 weeks from now i couldve had all that put on my car arggggggggg (in reply to Roto) Post #: 3

But i guess i wasnt expecting it to be delayed 2-3 weeks after the date it was said to arrive; i was mostly expecting them to only have a low number, since they dont know how the demand for it will be. Its all good... ill be patient, i think itll look good. < Message edited by alexdrops -- 5/6/2008 10:10:45 PM > (in reply to Roto) Post #: 5

I hear putting cold air intakes on the nwer saabs throws codes and causes "limp mode" but I could be wrong?would a exhaust cause anything to happen "code" wise? (in reply to Roto) Post #: 7

It is true it can put your car in limp mode, but thats only if u do not install your intake properlly. For example, if you have a leak at the MAF (Roto). Both, the cold air intake and the high performance filter adds a sportier sound to the car (cold air intake its most likely lounder), but not so much any performance gain.  (in reply to hawaiisaab93) Post #: 10
