Hey guys,

I'm knee deep into my first Saab and having already had a Fuel Distributor and Warm Up Regulator rebuilt I feel baptized.

As I move onto the aesthetics, I have been trying to find options of the two components in the Subject Line.

• Did the 1983 Sedan have the following options? Small Rear Spoiler, Large Real Spoiler and Bridge Rear Bridge Spoiler?
• Was there an Air Flow / Aero Kit for the 1983 Sedan?

Thanks To Anyone Listening!

There was never an air flow kit for cars with 4+ doors, only for <4 doors.

The trunk spoilers for sedans were - AFAIK - all dealer installed accessories. So, no, none of those were options. Any could be purchased from a dealer after delivery.

And were all (three?) accessory options available for the 83 sedan?

Small Rear Spoiler, Large Real Spoiler and Bridge Rear Bridge Spoiler?

Only the small one was avaiable from SAAB.
I installed a few, but they weren't very popular (I had one on my new '89).

That sounds right. The larger ones came in later years. Of course, nothing would stop a 1983 Saab owner from going to a dealer in 1990 and buying parts from the accessory catalog.

There was a flatnose kit airflow kit made for the 4-5 door cars and a set made for the 2/3 door cars. There are not many of these still left on the planet. We have finally sourced enough pieces to do our ‘79 five door. Hopefully that will be a completed project this year.

Do you have a part number etc for the 5-door kit? I have most every accessory catalog from '79 to '90 and it does not appear in any of them, or the quick parts reference -'86.

I don’t have the part number handy right now. Google Skandium airflow Saab 900. There is a cool advertising one page flier with sketches that shows up. It shows 5 door models and 2/3 door cars also with the kit installed.

The flatnose airflow kit also fit Saab 90 and Saab 99 models in addition to the 900s.

Here is a photo of most of our kit.

Do you know what book/publication that is from?

Here are a couple of photos of the box that our 3 door kit came in. Unfortunately the box had a very rough life before it came to us.
I have not seen the kit listed in the accessory catalogs. There was a service bulletin issued discussing some modifications about bending steel mounting brackets on the install process.
