2013 Police Interceptor Slicktop- National Park Service

[cbpdogboy]

Very Very nice...all it needs is a litttle syncing...

 

[strobecrazy]

+1 on sync. Other then that it looks slick!

 

[NFD-102]

kickass!

 

[FireEMSPolice]

Love it!

 

[TheGatekeeper]

Ahem.... I find the grille a bit overcrowded...

 

[tsquale]

I like it...however I find the rear overdone.

 

[LRGJr72]

And since when did the US Park Service start going all-blue (almost... I think there was one red in the back)?

 

[JohnMarcson]

No split flash fail here. I'll forgive the lack of synch. That is a well lit slick top.

Concur. I work for the NPS in Fire Management. All our park's Ranger vehicles are red/blue.


What park is it?

Someone in another thread not to long ago said that they try to match the colors of what the state laws are. Im guessing this ranger is stationed somewhere in a state that police uses all blue.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Because National Parks need a slicktop...

This vehicle and it's operator (me) primary role is Traffic Enforcement. We have an unmarked vehicle assigned to this role too.

Chono is right. We follow the State's guidelines/regulations before defaulting to the std red/blue combination. We have about 40 vehicles in Massachusetts and they're all solid blue (maybe only 10 vehicles have a red and amber to the rear).

Policy per RM-9 is to use what the state law specifies.

Whoaw !! Lucky you ... Some sense of sacrifice ...

You got my vote !!


How do you do the colors in your text ?

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

...but nothing screams Pull Over and STOP NOW better than one or two forward facing flashing or Steady Burning Red lights. Having one or two forward facing Red lights in an All Blue lightbar gives the police vehicle a much more official and authoritative look because Blue lights = Police (or Emergency Vehicle), Red lights = Danger, Stop NOW, Get the Hell Out of My Way.

I understand the concept, but I think a vehicle covered in blinky lights "screams" pull over more. A steady red light to me just means it is stuck on! :haha:


I have never been in a situation to see it in person, and I am sure there is logic behind it with studies etc.... but I never bought into the whole "steady red light" thing. Just me personally, which really doesn't mean a whole lot! :coffee:

When you type a reply there's a box with capitol A in bold, click the arrow next to the A and there's a bunch of color choices, just hilite the word and pick a color.

 

[TheGatekeeper]

I thought so... But I don't have that box on my "respond" page !

 

[Detroit VAP]

I noticed on the back, not all the lights were flashing. On the license plate are a couple TIR's. I wonder if they come on when the trunk is open.

Huh? They are flashing...

 

[Luismariadarlene]

Very Nice.

 

[11b101abn]

Looked synched to me, just too many rapid patterns and a lack of uniformity. Good looking rig.


I like steady burn to the front and some red and or amber to the rear.

 

[TACKLEBERRY]

I'm confused by the syncing; what needs syncing?


The M7s have the sync wire connected but the current flash pattern isn't compatible


The 4 SoundOff Ghosts (front and rear) are all sync'd


The MirrorBeams are sync'd with rear quarter window Ions


The M2 on side PushBars are sync'd with SideKicks


The 2 dual Vipers are Sync'd


The 2 LINZ6 on license plate are sync'd


The 2 LINZ6 in PushBars are sync'd and are the 'wig-wag alternative'


And the front/rear ILS's just do their own thing


I'm not a fan of all lighting flashing the same pattern

 

[Rusted413]

I like it, nice job

 

[Bonanno]

Woooahh awesome setup.

 

[TACKLEBERRY]

I'll post some photos here of the install later. ...but for now:

 

[got_yogurt]

Nice slicktop!


Would love to see more of that charger too

 

[TheGatekeeper]

Beautiful in their natural habitat ...


Cool job, cool cars... A great gig you got there... Congrats !!

I love the new fad of putting two while LED's on the front, like they are going to compensate for the lack of wig-wags....FAIL. Wig-wags weren't necessarily thought up because they were white, but because they were an extremely effective signal and already on the vehicle. They were more effective than having grill or bumper lights flashing with the vehicle's headlights on as well. When you turn on the headlights, the white LED's will pretty much disappear. Two points for the salesman that sells it to the customer though. :hopeless:

Agreed. A $40 set of Slimlighters from KC would be more effective. Plus you get the benefit of the additional driving lamp when wired to your high beams.





(Hope this streams/buffers more smoothly for those not on a cellular connection...)

They also set go to steadyburn when the takedowns are switched on. They're actually effective.

 

[TACKLEBERRY]

As promised:

 

[spc2315]

Looks sick. I think it's well lit in every area. Not overdone and I don't mind the non sync!

 

[TNFF412N]

Nice AR in the rack

 

[Resfireman30]

Should be the model for all new cars +1 on the sync a little but I like the chaos too. Awesome!!!
