Interesting Code 3 Excalibur

I managed to score this nearly NOS Code 3 Excalibur lightbar for $110 shipped. This appears to be the Code 3 equivalent of the OSP Strobe Vista, as it was taken off a police car in suburban Ohio. And, despite being shipped with zero packing and the mounting feet detached and put on TOP of the bar, it arrived with only minor scuffs and no cracks. I guess that's a testament to Code 3's MX/Excalibur dome durability!

It has eight strobes, six LEDX flashers (three red, three blue), takedowns, and alleys. I’m thinking of modifying it, does anybody have any ideas or parts? The center black dome is empty underneath and I have an Oscillaser which I think would look good under a clear dome. I'd also like to add outer rotators, intersection sweeps, and a flasher for the takedowns.

Didnt LAFD do something similar as well? Referring to the BO center. Not something you see too often.

Definitely clear the center and oscillaze it.

BO centers were quite common at least locally to me.
Several Local PDs used this bar with the Strobe/Halogen/LED combos.

I think I have a BPD bar with the BO centerpiece setup almost identically.

EDIT: Forgot to add nice catch BTW.
