Hirsch Performance Accessoiries
Just Saab posted some pictures on Facebook: Hirsch Performance Accessories | Facebook
Pictures from the Hirsch website of the Nappa leather dash. Not sure if I could justify the price for myself but that would look awesome in a 9-4X as well. Their website shows it is not available inthe US yet but price in Germany is EUR 795.00

I like it - although still would prefer this area to be REAL wood. Bring back real wood and the old Saab font throughout the cockpit and I'd be a (mostly) happy guy.

The carbon fiber pattern leather looks fantastic! I always thought this material was more than slightly strange until I saw the photos of the NG 9-5 dash appliqué in carbon fiber leather.

So I'm the only one that isn't thrilled about it? That dash overlay looks like just that... an overlay. For how much it costs, these just don't seem worth it if you ask me. Yeah, I'd rather have a leather (or carbon fibre) dash, but not one that just looks cheaply stuck on.
According to Hirsch's website, it's 709 British Pounds... so that's a tad over $1110. For that much I was expecting a complete part replacement; take out the plastic dash, and put in the leather/other dash.
And look how much those pedals are... $457.36! Are you kidding!?!?!?!Free SaabWorld Stickers

Shazam, have you seen the photo's of the carbon fiber kit? Look so much better in my mind. This car was part of the Hirsch unveil to North America and Just Saab picked it up with all these accessories on it, I believe Saab of Bellevue has a black one too that is pretty loaded out with Hirsch gear. I hope this one in person looks better than the photo's, a little too plain for my liking. Although, as dumb as it might sound, I always like seeing the Hirsch logo on the dash.

I've seen the photos. I'll agree that it's a much better job than the leather. But carbon fiber pattern is a bit busy for me. I realize that is my personal taste. But it is great that it doesn't just look like a big thing stuck over top of the original.

Anyone out there purchased:
1. Either the carbon fiber or nappa dash kits?
2. The Aerodynamics kit?
3. Or just the rear spolier?
If so, and setting the cost aside, do you like your purchase?
I have the Hirsch quad exhaust and I really like the slightly deeper rumble, but equally importantly, the look of it.

Does the 9-5 kit for the dash fit the 9-4x cause they look so similar ?
Was wondering.
