I searched and didn't find anything recent, but also wasn't sure where to put this. But great deal for those looking to freshen up their Saab.

Thank you for that. Thank you very much.

 

[SaabKen]

Bravo, thanks for posting. Mine has de-laminated long ago, and although it's a shiny polished look now I wouldn't mind having the enamel back on. This time I'll spray some clearcoat to prevent it from happening again.

 

[PNW9995]

thanks... will be good to have a back up... Nobody wants to know how I got mine I have right now

I'm going let mine wear out with dignity. Like growing a beard. Well, like it used to be. Seems the young fellas are sportin' beards left right and centre (<-English spelling) these days.

I should have kept my 33-yr old Nishiki International 18-speed bike I had in high school, it'd be worth a fortune now

I wonder which models are eligible. 9-3SS of course, but what about C900?

The site provides no clarification on that. But given in the application form you need to enter your VIN#, it is quite possible that all SAAB-SCANIA onwards badges are available. Just guessing.

Just paid $26.00 for a new one and then found this, well I guess I can keep it for another time, thanks for the find. grm

Yeah, I have brand new one too that I bought as my back-up last year. So now I will have 2 back-ups. OR . . . I can put one in the center of my Captain America shield. Yeah, that's the ticket.

But seriously, I really hate seeing so many Saabs around town that appear to be in fairly nice shape but when you get closer, they have the peeling badge. I understand that it is not a priority for many, but I lament it nonetheless. The emblem of the marque should be displayed proudly, And it is after all, one of the better looking emblems out there.

Up there with Alfa

and the original Lancia

for simplistic beautiful graphic presentation.

You can put your extra one in front of the shifter.

This is my '93 9000 (RIP) trunk badge, and the shifter cover has since been changed to the Aero silver one.

I've always liked the '80s version of the Peugeot badge:

And the more recent Vauxhall badges:

But you want PROUD ...... nothing like a screaming bird spread all over your hood

Mine aren't peeling, just the plastic housing is all weather worn and scratched up and faded.

I bought 2 of the carbon fiber ones off the guy from Portugal on ebay but hesitate putting them on over the OEM badge now since they are just gel stickers and don't have the plastic lense cover.

I bought some standard logo gel decals from FocusLima too (the guy in Portugal). I used one. It held up for 5 or 6 years. It was still on the car when I parted it out, looking good as new.

I guess you were fine with the squishiness if you pressed on it? Not that I press on my emblems...but it still seemed like it would remind me of a kid's car horn toy at that point.

Yeah. Actually I loved that part. And the dog-toy squeaky sound it made.
