Greetings all,
I recently purchased a 2001 9-5 (base model w/ premium package) and really do enjoy driving the car almost as much as my tried and true SPG. I realize that these questions are most likely covered elsewhere but have not had the time to comb the entire site for them.
1) Where can one go to find body and/or aero kits for the 9-5 (outside of OEM)? It seems as everyone caters to the 9-3 for aftermarket body kits. All I have found on the net are rear spoilers. I would like to tastefully beef up the exterior of the car without making it look like it is ready to do battle in Japan.
2. Do the 2002-2004 headlights really fit the 2001? I can bypass the focal capabilities of the xenon lamp and am only interested in the output performance and the newer look.
3. Along the same lines....If I change out my decklid to a 2002 (if it will fit), can I simply "upgrade" to the 2002-2004 tail lights?
I know, based on my questions, I should have just bought a 2002 but this 01 9-5 fit my budget and I am happy with the car - plus, it only has 32K on the clock. It is just that when I see the newer 9-3's and 9-5's cruising the streets, I do tend to favor the "look" of the car - and the parts "seem" to "look" interchangeable. I have a friend who owns a very nice paintshop here in town and he told me that if and when I got the parts, he would do the install and paint match for nothing - another HUGE motivational factor .
Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated from any or all on this post.
Thanks,
Has
