    MX-7000 from LRGJr72

    LRGJr72 was very easy to work with and quick to respond to all PMs. He shipped the bar before I'd even sent the funds via Paypal. The bar was packaged well and arrived undamaged. All in all, a good bar at a good price with no delays along the way. :2thumbs:

    MSP Spitfire in Action!

    Don't see many Michigan State Police still running the Unity RV-26 Spitfires anymore. I passed this one today on a Motor Carrier officer's Tahoe. The dome's looking rather faded and one of the bulbs was not working.

    Ford Interceptor Demonstrators in Transport
