Good. With that budget he can get solid equipment from reputable brands.

A FEVER Elite Membership costs $10 and can save you additional money as well from his site.

Many times you can find used items that match the above on this site, and that can save you more money.

 

[Mattdecker]

I agree with them. Stay away from STL. Even if you don't buy new there are plenty of used but great items in the for sale threads here.


Also, you could probably search the installs thread also and check to see what other members have done with that make of car.

 

[lotsofbars]

Yeah . . . don't know how much you've heard it at this point, but please don't buy STL lights. They're terrible. If your budget allows, get something from Whelen/Code 3/Federal Signal/Fenix, or even buy some good used equipment here. And don't overdo the lights in your windshield; an interior bar is enough. Add on some mirror beams or some SOS Intersectors and you'll be fine. And don't forget a HLF, they're some of the most useful and important warning available.

Okay, just an update -- Screw STL

I just ordered a Feniex 4200 W/ Siren Module control box from FEVER because he answered a bunch of my stoopid questions.

Here are the two light bars going in. More to come soon

 

[RightEZ]

Or should I just lightbar it? :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I'm so glad that you were educated on STL before dropping a lot of money on their junk. With the exception of LAWs on the mustang tail lights, I agree with everything Zapp recommended, particularly with regards to the side warning.

 

[Storm4200]

The Apollo bars are great. ive installed a few and theyre impressive. the 4200 is fun too. keep us updated 

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

 With the exception of LAWs on the mustang tail lights, I agree with everything Zapp recommended, particularly with regards to the side warning.

Why would you not agree with the LAWs? Would you say they are just not as effective in those housings, or what about replacing stock bulbs with a LAW? Any other options? (Not a disagreement, just soliciting your input, we all know how emotion fails to come across via text)

Other observations that the OP had mentioned in chat were that he responds only to the fire station, not to scenes. He had originally wanted 2 warning bars in the rear, and including a Traffic Advisor. I may have missed his answer, but we asked why he needed a TA if he was not responding to anything other than the station.

Yup, I just don't find LAWs very effective (or worth the cost) in small reverse housings such as those.


I agree about the 2 lightsticks being a waste but Having the Apollo duo color TA is a nice option to have without having the unnecessary clutter of a whole separate lightstick

I was referring to the brake/turn housings not the reverse housings.

 

[RightEZ]

laws are a cool idea. I was thinking license plate with feniex t6s aswell.

http://feverinc.net/feneix-avatar-47-lightbar.html

If it were me, I'd go with a lightbar because I like lightbars vs all lights being interior. But thats me. It is your car so you should do what you like. 

Plus, that's a real nice car. If it were me I'd be hesitant to drill a hole for cables in the roof. That being said, a lightbar would look great on that car in my opinion. Lol.

 

[RightEZ]

I'm not scared to drill the hole! I think I'm gonna stick with interior unless someone  comes along with a feniex light bar and sits it on my roof so I can understand how it would actually look on my car.

Next question: If I intend on having more lights, but do not have them right now, would you all suggest I go ahead and run the wires when I run the wires for the lights I have ready? I figure it would save a bunch of time.

2 Cannons will be going up front, one each in a fog light with a RED/WHITE duo color -- Or should I keep everything RED??

 

[RightEZ]

What a delightful surprise to see that the siren module comes with a PA! I thought I wasn't gonna be able to tell people how bad their driving was on this new build!

 

[acala91]

Interested to see this finished. Also, what's the deal with the exhaust tips sticking out a foot past the bumper?

I'd go all red, no split colors at all. But it's your car...

Lol I agree. I bought it like that, Ive just not taken the 8 seconds to whip out a sawzall and cut them flush

I'm so conflicted on what to do lol.

Follow what you think is right - it's YOUR car. The rest of us are armchair experts!

 

[proudfirefighter]

Follow what you think is right - it's YOUR car. The rest of us are armchair experts!

Just being an armchair expert here but I personally think that solid colors are 1) better looking and 2) more effective. I like all red. But hey, it's your car! Do what you like

 

[RightEZ]

I was told by someone that WHITE shows up better during the day than red does, any testament to that? I mean with my front interior light bar its going to be dual color so technically if I just want red I can always turn it off. I think I'm definitely gonna keep the quarter window red/white and the rear all red. Intersector lights will be  RED

Updated first post to show new build.

two more things - HAW in tail lights?

Also, if you noticed my third brake light right above the GT symbol in the 3rd picture - I'm going to measure it out, and possibly fit in a Cobra 400 instead of putting a 800 in the bottom of the rear window.

 

[Marc M]

I like your plan overall. Especially the use of PowerArc. I do think having the 800 to the rear would be a bit much though. I think a pair of dual T-6 would look better but that' s me.

 

[acala91]

Personally I would skip the Cannons in the fog lights and put a pair of solid red T6s in the grill synced to flash simultaneously. That's cheaper and I think would be more effective. If you decide to stick with the cannons, do solid red. There's enough white up front already with the dual color apollo and the HLF. 

 

[tsquale]

I will echo a few things others have said. I would only do one full size bar in the rear, otherwise they will wash each other out and make just a blob. I also agree that you should use solid T6s in the grill instead of Cannons in the fog lights. I have seen several folks try the fog light route and they look pretty ineffective there.  Otherwise looks good.

 

[RightEZ]

Did some more thinking and measured the quarter Windows. Cobra 400.

 

[RightEZ]

Products are starting to arrive!

Also upfitters, maybe you can help me out, whats a roundabout estimate for all this? I am really hoping I can pay a shop $450-500 to install all this.

Looks great, but that flashback looks like a nightmare.

Yeah I didn't adjust the flash shield and they were loosely fitted just to get a sneak peek before everything was permanently installed

Looks like it's coming along great. Cant wait to see it finished. I would do a slower pattern but that's just me. Other than that it looks amazing.

 

[Radarcop290]

Love that Mustang GT!   Great install.   Do you want to donate that car to our agency Traffic Unit?   LOL.    I've been trying to get our agency to get an unmarked Ford Mustang for about 28 years, since the Mustang Fox body's were actually offered as a specific police vehicle model!   Unfortunately, never had any luck convincing our commanders "WE NEED THESE".    Great job buddy.
