They were fairly common (unfortunately) on 9000 CC hatchbacks in Europe, sometimes in combination with a bodykit. Mercifully, SAAB never bothered to go after this boy racer element in the US, so you don't see many of the kits here. It should not be too difficult to remove that panel, though you may have some holes to fill or buffing/sanding to get rid of the marks left on the paintwork underneath. I don't think there's much you can do to bring back the color. Alternatively, you could go with a dark tint of the whole taillights and reflector section, which might look quite nice on your car. I think Saabsavior.com sells the materials you would need, and Stephen did something similar to his 9000 tail lights, which he describes in a 'how to' on his website.
