The carpets in my '78 99L are a faded dingy light brown. If you take off the trim from the door sills, the carpet edges are red underneath. Has anyone found a...

... That red matches Plastikote's Flame Red for fabric. Spray can. Works wonders on that and on 77-80 red on EMS/Turbo seats. _________________________________...
... Figured it was a 95/96, since the 99 and later are all carpeted. The only place to get them would be from another car, unless the Rolf Jensen has a source....
Thanks for the information. I will try Rolf Jensen. Jim ... From: Andrew Peterson To: vSAAB@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 01, 2005 3:01 PM Subject: Re:...

Tom, what color is your new Sonett and what is the condition? Sounds like Jerry got lucky finding a bullnose for sale by the original owner. Although I did buy...
Dan - It's red and rather nice shape... no rust, an original CA car that Jerry picked up about 3-4 years ago. There's a few non-original touches like the Weber...
