Love the full size bar. Love it.

I'd say ditch the whole detective look idea and make it look like the new britain pd charger picture above
In my opinion they have some of the nicest set up vehicles in the state!

I'm really not a fan of a lightbar lol
spc2315 said:Just an idea but new britain, ct has a couple marked chargers and the put tir3s mounted to the center post in the grill facing the intersection along with mirror beams. Looks clean and works well. I would suggest swapping out your clear for another red on your mirrors and less in the grille area....alota light in a small area is gonna make it look very blurry and mix up your colors. The back looks good very simple cover all areas less is more. Now take that concept and use it on the front lol
Agreed!!! The back- looks great. The front- Way too much going on! Really, appreciate my honesty when I say it looks bad. I would do this: Avenger on the deck, mirror beams, LinZ6s in the grill, wigwags, and hook up those strobes!!! Thats it. Get rid of the Ions and M2s. Seriously, think of what you would want for a set-up, install it and LEAVE IT ALONE. (I can say this cause he's a friend and his dad is my boss....... so maybe I cant say that, oh well)

I don't know how a person can "LEAVE IT ALONE" in regards to a setup! Yes minimalism is good, but there's nothing wrong with switching things up!

Agreed.... however I have seen 6 or 7 different set-ups in the past 2 months. (No offense Nick)
I think the car looks very nice. It seems as if you've put a lot of thought and time into your setup. However, there seems to be an elephant in the room nobody seems to be talking about.
Just out of curiousity, if you're a firefighter/EMT, why do you want your car to look like an unmarked detective's car?

There is something about there set up that i like. Its lo-profile yet still protrudes a lot of light. I've found that most people really dont notice it.

I'm not going to apologize for voicing my opinion. As I mentioned in other posts, until the moderators, rogue or otherwise, or John decide to send me packing, I will continue to voice my opinion.
The install looks good. As I mentioned, the original poster seems to have a pretty clear vision of what he wanted and did some pretty clean install work. I'm not saying the car doesn't look good. I'm saying the car looks like a road rage unit, a stealth unit, or an unmarked unit. I was simply asking why, if the driver is an EMT, would he want a vehicle to look like an unmarked police car. I think someone already mentioned putting some sort of EMT decal on the car.
When his car is lit up, people aren't going to think, "oh, there goes an EMT." Their perception is probably going to lean towards that being an unmarked police car. The vehicle is from New Hampshire, and there have been several people here who say the car closely resembles the setup of a few New Hampshire agencies.
I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful. I'm not name calling, and I don't know who the original poster is, considering I live in Texas. I'm just pointing out that the vehicle being showcased looks more like a police car than what an EMT would drive. If I ruffle feathers expressing my opinion, so be it. It just seems this car, and its setup, was purposely designed to look like a police car, and the comment to "get in the left hand lane and do 100 all the way to Florida," seems to echo this same sentiment. People will think there's a mean looking unmarked police car barelling down the highway at you.

As far as I can tell, this is the only reason to use a police-package Charger or a CVPI. If you don't wanna look like a cop, use a Mercury Grand Marquis or a civilian-package Charger, or something else.dg0223 said:

Mark it with tasteful FD decals and you won't be mistaken for anything else. If done properly and tastefully a retired CVPI or Charger will look like a FF's POV and not an undercover police car.

Actually the reason i got the police package was because it was affordable. For $8500 and had only 66k miles on her how could anyone say no? It was a leased vehicle for wayland ma. I'm thinking about getting the ems badge that someone else has on their explorer
I love it. I have a silver 07 magnum r/t. Nothing police about it but i still get looks and the whole drivers getting out of my way thing all the time.
Throw a prisoner cage in the back! Make everyone on this site mad haha but honestly though it looks very good.

Looks Awesome! only things I would change is a slower pattern on the avenger, like an alternating triple flash or similar pattern, and if both mirror beams were red I'd be in love. The front sync and the whole car looks great now! :thumbsup:

If I had the chance to get that car for $8500 w/66,000 miles, I would have done it as well. I think pushbar is what makes it look like a squad. If people move out of your way, who cars if they knwo you are an emt or a cop. Does it really matter as long as they yield to you?
I would have got two larger lights for the gille vs 4 smaller lights. I would agree to making both mirrors red.

That looks great, bro! I especially like how u put 2 vertex in each tail light to give it some punch (i know u said that one side is all red, but both tail lights looked amber to me in the vid, and I thought it went well with the red in the TLF). I would have liked to see solid red grill lights and both mirror beams red for the front (since HLF's drown out a lot of other warning at night IMHO), but it doesn't look bad at all, since this is one of the few installs with solid split sync in the grill. Only thing I'd change for the rear is solid color linz6 (alternating 1 red and 1 amber, 2 amber flashing simultaneously, or 2 red flashing simultaneously).
As for the sirennet door lights, as I mentioned in the other post, they look superb. Now, if u were to replace those ions up front with a pair of M4's in solid red and swapped the rear linz6 for solid colors, I woulda made a shrine dedicated to this as one of the ultimate POV's lol

I have been trying to find a trade for the ions into 2 red and 2 white to do an x pattern.

Yes. If the person in front of you is a criminal that just committed a crime, you might end up dead.

Well I'm upgrading to a cencom sapphire. Still installing when I have time when I'm not working. Also installed an antenna on the trunk for my mobile, kenwood tk-7180.

For everyboy's viewing pleasure... ( Don't worry, the ugly back pattern on my car has since been resolved) :thumbsup:
i think your set-up looks GREAT! Great placement, full 360, good lights, nice sync, etc.
but, i would like to nit pick, if i may...?
i personally would rather see 2 bigger grill lights vs 4 smaller lights. a pair of 400 series 6 over 6 would be great, even in split colors. Or maybe go with the pedestal M4s mounted on the push bumper (EDIT* i just realized that the PB is no longer there)
I would like to see the mirror beams either all red (with R/W split grill lights), or all white, (with solid red grills.)
like i said, thats just me nit picking. Very solid set-up as is.

I totally agree. Just too much clear to the front for my taste. I think it looks better without the push bar

Whenever I go to the beach, or want to be a little more loprofile. Hard to do with the chevrons now!
Looks nice. I might slow down that dash light a tad but that's about it from me.
Oh and that second pic, is that your car's twin down in Australia?

I'm not quite sure how all the pics ended up sideways or upside down....they were right side up to begin with.
And nope Indonesia
