Nice car. Looks like whoever did the vented front nose panel has done a tidy job. Only thing is, that without any hood venting that nose venting is possibly hurting your car. Sorry...

Love the Saab 9000! Looks like an aero. Porsches and Saabs are my best friends...

Thanks Patrick and Peder.

@ Patrick Do you think hood venting is necessary for a street car?

@ Peder The Aero is my DD and is great drivers car. Don't see that many of them on the road any more. I plan to drive mine as long as I can find the parts to take care of it. It is quick, handles well, carries a lot of stuff and gets great fuel mileage.

The red phone dials are gone . Rolling on Carrera III's mounted with 245/35/18 and 285/30/18 Hankook V12s now One of these days I may even finish my WBO2 install... and then on to the timing belt... and PS lines... and M-Tune...

Thanks to OmniGLH for all of his help!

Possibly won't hurt on a street car but that's just a guess. You are also possibly creating a stall zone in front of your intercooler that might inhibit it working to it's best efficiency. This in turn could have an effect on your motor. That's worst case scenario. Not trying to scare you. It would be more efficient to have somewhere that the air could escape. A hood vent like the turbo 968rs had would be better.

Those wheels were designed to be a strict racing wheel. Forgeline then started to make these center caps cause of this wheels growing popularity. The crest is and ink dot gel coated emblem.

Just bought this little baby in October. 1987 with 58,000 miles. Need to meet some Houston area 951 owners. Anyone out there?

Oh cool that is interesting I didn't know they did that. I work down the street from Forgeline and I guess I have only ever seen those wheels on track cars we were working on. I didn't know they made center caps to go with those wheels for street cars. I'll have to have my buddy make me some if I ever find a set of those for my car, I've always loved the way they look on our cars! Thanks for the clarification.
