Albuquerque PD slick top rear wing?

[GranPrix]

Apparently it's a Code3 prototype? Reminds me of the Whelen Fast Trax

Wow I just saw this, nevermind

Like Whelen's Fastrax.

Here's a video of it that showcases it pretty well. Patterns suck. Looks like code3 xt4 heads

Like you said, horrible patterns, and next to nothing in side warning.

And what's wrong with a bar in the window? I've got a slicktop car with SOS interior nForce bars, and it's got some issues, but not enough light isn't one of them.

Lots of fail with that install unfortunately.....

Love the idea of a slick rear light like that tho

 

[GranPrix]

So the rear is a complete utter cluster fuk of a mess. On the other hand the officer is pretty damn hot! LoL

 

[GranPrix]

I think Whelen needs to bring back an updated version of the Fast Trax

Messed up lighting seems to be the standard in ABQ. Their highway assistance trucks have terrible patterns and color combinations as well. The bright side is that install only needs a flash pattern change to significantly improve it.

Hey, what's wrong with the Tinkerbell pattern?

 

[John Hearne]

Can anyone confirm it's Code 3?

 

[John Hearne]

Just confirmed that it was a custom piece made by their installer for that project.

Good light show.

Maybe they should have used smaller lights instead of those things they put in there.... Great Idea the Wing, bad Thing is drilling for wires unless you slide it down the weatherstrip of the rear windshield into the trunk valley and find a spot to run it through that wont block the flow of water and debris from escaping and start a new rust issue and leak potential.

 

[JazzDad]

Rust and Albuquerque?

 

[Nolines]

so your saying metal exposed to water doesnt rust in albequrque? Interesting I thought Rust could form anywhere water intrudes.... even minutely....

 

[JazzDad]

Water and Albuquerque?

 

[Nolines]

Well ya gotta wash the car dont you?

 

[JazzDad]

I wash my car twice a year, whether it needs it or not.
