Transforming the Interior of My Saab 9-3 with One Simple Mod!

[@aaa_batteries]

Recently found your channel and I love it, showing off the underrated side of the Saabs (which is really everything) 😂😂 Interior is fire! 🔥🔥

[@AutoAutopsy]

Lol, thank you for the support !

[@jackk5131]

Like always, great job Jacob! Greetings! 👍

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks a lot!

[@BWTECH0521]

Well done!! Looks much stealthier 😊

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you!

[@brunowuillai2439]

Great job ! Bon travail et super résultat! Cela me donne des idées Bruno (from a french man that enjoy Saab)

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you! 😁

[@trilogyopus]

Bravo maestro of SAAB. Well done.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! 😁🙌🏼

I'm getting my '04 9-5 prepared to paint grey, I've ordered new badges with carbon fiber design for hood, bonnet, and center caps. Your upgrade is a nice idea I might do on my Aero.

[@1988dgs]

Nice to see the gear surrounding done, I am just about to do mine as the existing wrap is starting to peel up, along with a new gator and knob. Yours looks great.

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice, thanks so much!

[@stevenfromer3816]

Quite nice,excellent work

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you very much!

[@supersaabclaire]

I did mine in a black smoke marble effect, looks awesome 👌

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nice!

[@MikeThaiger]

Should have done the handles too... Looks absolutely amazing!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! The handles are already upgraded to leather: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3qyZWl4ptp9Zqcsi=flp8N6hCQvBCOY6K

Pretty cool little upgrade!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Agreed, thanks!

[@thackerybrown2860]

That looks fantastic

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thank you! 🙌🏼

[@oliverklanert6328]

I got some interieur-parts paintet (no wrap) in gloss-black here in Denmark. This comes out great - because it feels so original. The coulour combination was gloss-black with beige leather. Exclusive :-).

[@AutoAutopsy]

Nice job!

[@ericboers6881]

Nicely done. I was wondering if I should try and fix other kind of scraped parts of my 93 2004 convertible. But would you not like to also wrap the shifter (silver part) and the door openers?

[@jan-akestenberg7176]

Oh man that looks so great 🤩

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks!

[@petezzzz]

Awesome work. Looks just like mine now! 👌👍😃

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! 👍

[@jevil6776]

Dont forget the trim above the glovebox :) Great job!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thought about it! But I know it’s a bit different on the PFL cars and I’m not sure how it would look. Guess it doesn’t hurt to try!

[@jevil6776]

Thank you Chris!

[@hamdan_car]

Perfect job 👍🏻

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks!

[@andrewallerton1831]

Carbon trim was a factory finish on Turbo Edition with TX pack. My 2010 93 ttid had it from factory.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Yep! 👍🏼🔥

[@stevenmiller4254]

Wow!! That looks really nice. I also own a 2003 9-3, same blue color, but parchment interior. Those trim pieces in my Saab are looking a bit chalky after 20 years. I may try this idea myself. Love your channel BTW!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks for the support! Definitely give it a try - worst you can do is keel it off you hate it!

[@Zinsky_the_lynx]

Looks great, now woult you consider painting all the lihtr interior trims black, including headliner? It woult look great imho and there are paints for fabric

[@AutoAutopsy]

Interesting. Probably not black to be honest. I like the light headliner 🤨🤨

[@lorddiablo8575]

They looked much better ! But why don't you also wrap the door handles ( connected to the door window buttons ) ??

[@arrans1987]

Nice!!

[@AutoAutopsy]

👍🏼🙌🏼

[@lostknalltelost8365]

Have you ever done a trim replacement? I‘m kinda stuck. After cutting the plastic welded parts the Trim seems like stuck/ clipped or glued at the grind and rear ends. I need to keep those trims in best condition possible 😅

[@AutoAutopsy]

it's quite difficult to remove so I have never personally bothered with it. painting it or wrapping like I did here is the way to go imo

[@lostknalltelost8365]

@@AutoAutopsy I got them removed. It is not that when you realize that there are also welding points at the very ends of the trims. I needed new Interieurs but wanted to keep the 9-3X trims. I‘m gonna try to put them on the new Interieur this weekend. Wish me luck

[@chrisinthecar5689]

Hey random question, do you have any experience with parasitic drain on either of your Saabs? I've had an awful time tracking down the cause of mine

[@rupertorobledo4277]

Looks good. Now replace the yellow headlights with new clear ones.

[@AutoAutopsy]

Ehhh come on, they’re much more clear than most 9-3’s out there 😅

[@sn1pert]

How much wrap did you purchase. I have the same car and am looking at doing the same thing.

[@AutoAutopsy]

3ft x 5ft IIRC and I used MAYBE 10% of it

[@cesar-vm4xs]

You did great my man it is about improving the looks with out breaking the wallet

[@AutoAutopsy]

That’s always the goal, haha. Thank you!

[@spencer_eris]

What wrap did you use in specific? Looks great

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! VViViD Epoxy High Gloss Black... www.amazon.com/dp/B0B8L13S29?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@CSK-xb2ld]

Where did you get the passenger cup holder insert from? (where the coin slot is)

[@AutoAutopsy]

It’s the smart slot cupholder. It’s an accessory that was offered with the cars. I got mine secondhand. You can probably find them still new on esaabparts or on eBay!

[@josefjelinek]

Done this before on my saab and very likely, without adhesion promoter applied to the edges, it will eventually start peeling.

[@AutoAutopsy]

We’ll see.

[@bdlii]

Not a fan personally of the CF look but it goes well with your interior and does look better than the silver i agree

[@AutoAutopsy]

👍🏼

[@cristianseibriger799]

Great work, but wouldn't use fake carbon in my car by any chance. Piano black or some brushed aluminium would look much better.

[@micaelpedersen7970]

Need to replace my right side mirror. How easy is it to get the door panels of an bring them back in? Is that something anyone can do or is there something one needs to be aware of? I'm afraid of breaking the clamps in the process

[@AutoAutopsy]

Super easy. Just remove the two T30’s in the door handle, use a pry tool line I showed, lift the door panel up over the window seat and door lock, disconnect all of the connectors, and it comes right off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnqrhKSNfZySodksi=SyR4DUnr0X12EW1f

Small thing but that swedish plate is mounted a bit too high from the standard

[@qwaggo6921]

i know im 11 months too late but my i ask where you got that steering wheel?

Maptun! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqrcnpKjeNZrrsUsi=dfxGW-0cUHzo4ku3

[@DaveHines]

Nice job, using a professional heat gun I see 😂

[@AutoAutopsy]

Oh yeah 👀🤣

[@Attack-fb5rj]

Maybe the cupholder might want some attention? Not sure how to make it look better

[@AutoAutopsy]

It’s been refinished already. It’s the rest of the interior that needs attention tbh

[@jesusrafaelguerra8246]

Do you want to sell those parts covered with carbon fiber vinyl...

[@AutoAutopsy]

I have some leftover wrap. PM me on Instagram!

[@jhonix84]

Next mod is to put leather in the interior :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

On mine? It already has leather door handles, upgraded steering wheel, etc! 😅👊🏼

[@m.akbart3840]

Look up 1997 Saab EX prototype😊

[@dennisspors7530]

I was able to obtain the turbo x intetior pieces from Hungary

[@AutoAutopsy]

Great

[@scotboy1297]

Have to be careful when handling real carbon fiber, inhaling dust or fumes, but since this is faux carbon fiber, not the issue.
