And in rolls the SaaBeeru ... by Bradcr

Jeez, I thought for a second you were one of those unlicensed vendors until I realized that's way too crafty for a Coug :P . I kid, I kid, that site was actually pretty sick and I love HIDs, didn't realize you could retrofit them so nicely. Time to hunt around the Saab92X.com boards to see if anyone has used a legit kit like that. 

I did finish up the last thing I started yesterday- I'd already cut my snorkel figuring it could just fit over my Grimmspeed radiator shroud. Then I painted it white which was WAY too much under the hood. In the end, the shroud just raises it too much and the hood won't close. I even cut the water drain bump off the bottom and had no luck. The shroud was messed up anyway, so here's what I did:

I got out a small saw and cut off the tips of the reinforcing pieces inside, tough, but not impossible, then I plugged them underneath along with the bump I cut out earlier:

Next I cut off the snorkel to silencer connector, painted most of it back to black, and used 3 pieces of industrial Velcro on the shroud. I'll see if that holds over time, the hood has such a tight grip, and with the lip of the shroud, at least I'm sure it won't come loose while I'm driving, pretty happy with the result:

Since I still have the SPT intake shield, I'll probably recut it during the FMIC install and completely wall off the intake again.
