You guys think that with a bit of work these new spoilers for the 9-3 (available soon from Genuine Saab) will fit our 9-5's. Aren't both cars based on the same platform?

Well I kinda figured it won't be a bolt on or else it would be listed as such. But I just thought that the 9-3 was similar enough that maybe with what I specified '' a little work'' it would actually fit.. as in bending it a bit and maybe adding an inch or two it. I was just curious..
yep. exactly. which is why this is the fourth post specifying modification, which would result in it not originally being bolt on. People have put front AND rear Viggen bumpers on 9-5's. Bolt-on? of course not! probably cut in two and added on or something of that nature!! Also it definitely wouldn't be listed, because the idea is to have to modify it.
The front end may be a little different shape on this though, depending on if it is urethane or propylene, it could possibly be heated hot enough to aid in reshaping.
Snowboarding is pretty much getting what I was trying to say. Anything can be done; I’ve seen civics with corvette bumpers around where I live lol. I was just wondering to what extent the 9-3 and 9-5 front ends were different to be able to justify if the cost of getting it modified was even worth it.
I'm very suprised nobody has made a decent looking front spoiler yet for our 9-5's not every one wants to replace the whole front bumper. Don't get me wrong the Aero spoiler is nice but I would like a little bit more i.e the spoiler for which this thread is about.
