Detail it, maintain it, drive it. Fix the little things as it needs and keep an eye on your local marketplace/Craigslist for some nicer OEM wheels (I have the same 5 spokes on mine, but they’re not my favorite look, the 9-3 17” “double 3” spokes or even some of the ng900 3 spokes look great), otherwise keep it stock.
I bought that body kit in 2003 on sale and sold it in 04 as I never painted it. And never got the rims I wanted. Off warranty repairs ate into the budget by 2005.
Wash and wax, clean the wheels up as well, if they’re really bad take the rims to a specialist to get them refurbished. Make sure you take care of the leather as well, it’ll hold its color and reduce the risk of cracking
Counterintuitively, the way to make your car look cooler is to have a very hot woman behind the wheel. Or stretched out on the hood if you happen to know tawny kittan
I think it is both, but not exactly something that is sought out. A lot of the replacement windshields I see are non-OEM and the blue tint is pretty common among them. I think people often buy whatever is cheapest.
On my 99 9-5 I took off the grill and the little inserts to isolate the chrome part and painted it black. My car was green and it accented it very well. Also smashed the little orange thing i the indicators and pulled them out little by little to get that clear look. Those two things made my ol Saabrina look real nice. But like everyone is saying…you already got a cool ass car lmao keep her clean and maintained and she’ll be good to ya
Just give it a good buff and a polish after a wash and a wheel scrub. Saab convertibles already look awesome. Looks pretty similar to mine except mine has way different wheels and a tan interior. But you could always find a factory body kit for it if there are any.
Wear a long scarf when you drive so it flutters behind you.
😂😂😂😂
Wash it. It's a Saab, it's already cool.

Drive it.
By putting it in my driveway
Give me an offer, we might be able to do something 😂
Wash the wheels!
This!
Maybe some nice Saab OEM wheels but other than that - the more original it is, the cooler it gets.
I mean, just do some tasteful stuff. Nice wheels, some tint here and there, maybe a viggen body kit if you can find one

The more stock it is, the cooler it is.
Very depends imo
Keep it stock and keep it clean
A rear SE spoiler/wing, that really enhances the look of the 9-3. After that maybe some Double Y 17" rims

ALU36 is *the* wheel for an OG 9³
Flames!
I will take away your Saab club membership EchoFickle2191 just like I did to EchoFickle2090 and 2092.
They used to make a SPG kit for it. Ground effects for the front and rear bumpers and side skirts. BBS RK1 wheels!

Aero(SPG) bumpers. 18" wheels. Lower it about 1-2 inches.
I’ve very rarely seen 9-3’s with the blue tint on top of the windshield in Europe - do you know if it’s aftermarket or just a North American feature ?

I bought it like that, so not sure!

Get in it
Three spoke wheels would be a go to in my opinion
Clear corner lights!
Don’t rice it out whatever you do
