I'd skip that engine renewal stuff. Everything else looks pretty sweet. I would have kept the "SAAB" on the front of the grill chrome or black too. Thats just me though.

shoulda cleared your corners. so far, that DIY is the best free half an hour ive spent on my saab. since your car is silver i think the grille looked good chrome. but i prefer paint matched. mine is green. good call on the brake calipers, i need to do that myself.

im going to leave it red for awhile and see if i like it, i did it because i have never seen it red before. this is the 4th time painting it, i change my mind alot.

but now about the CLR oil... you guys dont think i should? it was the or lucus full syn. i was going to put both when my new drain plug came in.

edit: i put in STP oil aditive and it seemed to help but im not sure if its like when you wash you car it drives better help or it really helped.
