These have been discontinued and are no longer available. I read where one fellow was able to conform a hood protection strip from a 95 to fit fairly well. (But not perfectly)
I was graciously lent a strip by a fellow who had an unused one in an attempt to create a template from it. That said, the OEM ScotchCal material is impossible to find. I have found similar materials - but nothing that comes close to the quality/texture and durability of the original.
If you are simply interested in protecting this portion of your hood - versus the "accessory" value of equipping your car with the Saab hood strip, there are several options. There is a clear materials that works well (but will not hide any existing paint blemishes).
Also, there is a "spray-on-bra" material that honestly works great. You need to tape off the area you want to protect (and can do this in the shape of the original strip if desired) and then spray on the material.
It peels off very easily and will not damage paint. This product can be found a Griots Garage (http://www.griotsgarage.com)
Good luck.
*** However....If anyone knows of a source for OEM-like material, please let me know. I can easily make and share them - given the template I have. ***
