Strobesnmore said:Sorry for the slow response but just alerted to the thread. I tried to be as clear as possible in the video stating the mounts will not fit every vehicle. Some vehicles will require a perm / headliner mount as indicated which is why we predrilled the mounts. I have a Toyota tacoma and the mounts worked fine. We had a pickup in last week and it was a good size truck and mounts were more than 14.5" so we only were able to use one visor and one perm. We considered going with only vehicle specific but Q&A showed most customers asked preferred the lower cost of universal versus a huge up charge for custom mounts which are not cheap to build and stock. I hope the guys who have the bars already are happy withy them and ill be sure to check the site and the description.
AutoDetailer said:Not a big fan of that phantom but I would just have a quality install shop make you up some brackets. It's not all that hard, and I don't quite get what all the fuss is over. I have replaced a few of the charger specific phantoms installed at another shop and I can tell you it was because the customer wasn't happy with the fit, rattle, and flashback.

Overall I love the look of it. Will post a video once we wire it up.

Overall I am very happy with the overall install of everything. There is a lot of flashback with the interior bar (for me anyways). I am going to attempt to correct this using some metal extenders I received with my visor brackets and see how that works. Anyone have any ideas on how to reduce flashback? A buddy of mine mentioned foam...?

fireman29b said:Well the flashback at night is god awful. Anyone got any tips or ideas? It's the curvature of the shroud vs. the curvature of the windshield. There's a small gap right in the middle of the arch of the shroud.
sheazle said:on my Pegasus I used some black adhesive vinyl I got for a few bucks at the auto parts store. It's all black but has a "carbon fiber" texture. They make it in smooth also but they were out of stock. You might try a sign shop as well.
Cut a strip with a sharp xacto or utility knife and apply it carefully and it doesn't look bad at all. I cut a couple extra strips in case I need to take my bar out and put it back for some reason.
Completely eliminated flashback on my Pegasus…except when the windshield is wet or dirty…nothing you can do about that one.

Sorry for the bad pic. It's dark and rainy here. The flash brings out the texture of the vinyl though. You can see where I stuck it to the bottom of the bar and to the windshield. I cut it a little too wide for what I needed but I was experimenting.
Note that I removed the rubber moulding that comes with this bar as it was just getting in the way.
I used some adhesive neoprene pads (like for cabinet doors etc. so it doesn't rattle against the windshield.
Next time I will make sure the excess is on the lightbar side and not the windshield side. It doesn't block visibility it is just a little irritating.

Any fitment issues you ran into with the Crown Vic? I just ordered mine and will be installing it into a '04 CVPI. Just curious.fireman29b said:I know it's not synced up yet but wanted to put some juice to it to show everyone.

Good, but I assume you're pretty satisfied with it? I read in here about weatherstripping from a DIY store - I might try to do something of that nature. I have a Strobes N More D-12 in my other POV that gives off a bit of flashback, but it's mounted up on the passenger side on the headliner, so it doesn't really bother me too much. This, on the other hand, might.fireman29b said:Yes, like any "universal fit" interior bar, there was quite a bit of bending, etc. to make it seat. I changed out the rubber trim to some thicker stuff to help seal a bit better. I still have a bit of flashback but not enough to really drive me too insane. I might get some black vinyl tape and do a little custom sealing up like some have suggested. It's definitely a bright product.
