2004 Crown Victoria

[BAKE19]

I bought the car back in February and I'm just putting the finishing touches on it now. It's an '04 CVP73, ex-US Marshals, with 134, XXX miles and running strong. I am a volunteer firefighter, so that's what the lights are all about. Don't bother questioning the HLF, HAWs, Air Horn, etc... that's none of your concern As for the goodies:


Front-


Axixtech Stealth Visor- B/B


Whelen Mirror Beams- B/B


Whelen HLF


Whelen HAWs- C/C (Corners)


Sides-


Whelen Single Talons- B/B


Rear-


Lightning-X Xtreme 04- B/A


Federal Signal CHMSL LEDs- B/B


Whelen HAWs- R/R (Brake Lights)


Controlers/Power Supplies-


Whelen HHS2200 (Disclaimer: The labels are not on the controller yet, because I may be reprogramming some of the buttons' functions in the near future.)


Whelen UPS-64LX

Very nice looking car.

Good job, looks very nice!

I'm not trying to start a fight but I'm curious.


Whats the orange line symbolize?

 

[Core Public Safety]

Looks good! Seems like you have plenty of equipment with out being overboard. I particularly like the set up in the trunk! Thanks for sharing with us!

i think his camera washed it out. it's clearly red in the first pic, and since he said volunteer firefighter....


anyway, nice car. looks very clean and so does the install.

 

[BAKE19]

Thanks guys! Hoot hit the nail on the head... in that bright afternoon sunlight my camera made it look like an orange line. It is indeed a red line.

 

[TritonBoulder47]

Very nice install bro...

 

[bunnyfurr]

That looks great

Not bad.. I would have run all those wires on the back wall of the trunk behind the rear seat. I see they left the faux AM-FM on the fender for you.

In hind sight, I agree with you completely... they would be more protected there, and it would look much cleaner. Next one I buy, I'll do it that way. Gotta love those cars though, in my limited experience, it's the easiest thing I've worked on.

Looks clean. Sharp install.

Great install I would just move the siren control to the dash or between the seats " I have jumped out of my truck so many times during bad weather on scenes and forgot to up my window or full secure my. Door only to return to a wet seat and door with a couple inches of water in it" I can tell you put a great deal of thought and work into your car and would hate to see anything get damaged! Once again Great Install!

 

[TheHealer]

Must have had a good teacher to put together such a fine installation!

 

[EmerVehSolutions]

Looks great nice and clean install

 

[TheGatekeeper]

Very clean install.


This is a Street Appearance Package, correct ?


Just curious... Have you followed more or less what was left of the USMS install, or have you totally improvised a new setup?

Thanks, good point... I didn't put too much consideration into that.

Thanks. Its actually a base package, not an interceptor with the street appearance package. I ripped most of the Marshals wiring out. I kept the strobe cables, tubes, and hlf. Even got the power supply with it

Indeed! Thanks for everything, Pete. Next we need to master deck building...

 

[hvfd525]

Very nice install man, gotta love that look. You have the lights positioned just right for all angles. Very nice setup!

the car and install looks great. crown vics are such a great platform when you are trying to build an emergency vehicle, however sometimes people's reasoning for having them with a set-up like this is suspect and im suprised you haven't been asked why you are driving one with a set-up like this....me personally, i think that when my agency starts retiring some of our 2005 cvpi's i am going to buy one at auction and install reds/blues for when i work off-duty jobs where i can't take my cruiser with me. i love driving these things and am so used to driving them that whenever i get in my wife's suv which has a center console gear shifter, i always reach looking for the shifter on the column. great looking car, kudos on the install work.

Thanks man... I was pretty surprised when I wasn't questioned about having a Vic with lights too. I figured I'd slap my red line on there so local law enforcement would know I'm not up to no good.

 

[rabidjade]

Looks super clean for a vehicle with that many miles on it. Nice subdued lighting package and install also.

 

[tomx20]

I have that same scanner

 

[medicandy]

Looks great. I have a 04 Vic too. I need to clean it up and repost my pics of it on here. You did a great job on this car well done.

 

[Luismariadarlene]

Looks great

 

[BAKE19]

Thanks for the posts... Im thinking of getting rid of the SV and getting a Slimlighter on the dash, Avenger on the headliner passenger side, and maybe some TIR3s in the grille. Any thoughts?

 

[FDNY 10-75]

Great work!

 

[pdk9]

very clean and professional install

 

[TheGatekeeper]

Since you are asking...


Dash and headliner cover the same "tier". I would avoid the overlap. Either headliner, or dash, not both.


TIRs in grill are just fine bien sûr !


Et voilà !

 

[Ben E.]

I like it man. I'll give you extra props for not copping it out.
