Great video and glad you didn't lose your spoiler. I just installed rain guards, hood protector and floor mats for my 07 9-3. Next will be getting a rear spoiler and aero front lip.
Great Video!! Removing badges is soo much easier with just boiling water from a jug. Poor and peal. I've done it for forever and had no issues at all!.
Glad you saved it! They call it '3M' for a reason....it lasts for 3 mins.! Personally 'Goo gone' has never worked for me, I prefer denatured alcohol & heat. Last resort acetone.
I like the look of roof spoilers, but they totally screw up the aerodynamics, and split off most of the air that woukd normally pass over the trunk spoiker. Love the hirsch spoiler though! I have one coming in the mail 🚙 it is definitely a performance part, these style spoilers help the air come off the rear more cleanly, which reduces both lift and drag forces! I also debadged mine, and I agree I'd never ditch the griffin logo! I do personally orefer the blue background though, i feel like it makes the red/gold griffin pop even more than black somehow
I’m surprised, I have a 2010 carbon gray Aero without a spoiler and I love the emblems. But your car, with the spoiler, really does look better without them.
nice work. not my preferred look but too each their own. the roof spoiler should be slightly larger and no trunk spoiler if you ask me. same goes for the debadging. mine came without but i'm actually thinking of putting them back on there (I know i'm weird lol) granted it also depends on the color of the car. in your case it looks better without (the chrome doesn't suit the bright red as much as it does my dark blue 07 saab 9-3) so it's highly situational i'd say. in any case ... i'm still jealous of that color :P
Thanks! I agree I think it depends on color. Even then sometimes I like the emblems and other days I want the clean look. Probably a phase but for now I'm rocking the debadged on the laser red and keeping the emblems on the fusion blue. I suppose that's why its nice to have multiple Saabs to have different looks 😄
Right! I would never pay that much for a non-performance part. I'm glad it came on the car when I bought it. And with as much rain as my area has seen the past few weeks my Saab has basically been a submarine 😄
@@WeakestofWeeks Thank you for replying and are you going to paint that chrome piece on your truck or are going to remove? If you remove could you please do a video on how, I'm thinking of painting mine chrome. Thanks again.
@@philliparthur8672 I plan to remove the silver trunk trim from the car to paint. Ideally, I'll also remove the grill surrounds and the fog light trim to prep and paint as well. I plan to film it but not sure when I'll get to it. Unfortunately a lot on my to do list lol
@@WeakestofWeeks I completely understand and can imagine. I wasn't sure if it could be taken off and the next time I go to the junkyard I'm going to practice. Thanks again for all you do for all of us.
Could be authentic Hirsch. Could also be from TunStyle. TunStyle has taken their products and molded them directly from original Hirsch products and in that mold, serial numbers, product stamps, and the Hirsch name get reprinted onto the new molds. My 9-3 Combi spoiler from TunStyle had all the above stamped into their mold.
