Looking for Opinions

[SIFD7101]

Wanted to get some opinions from the experts.. For one, I want to know if this would be an acceptable install, and two how difficult it may be if anyone can answer that. I'm looking at buying an all blue Liberty and installing it on my car. I have a 2009 Pontiac G6, currently with a SoundOff Mini Pinnacle, 2 SEM3s on the front license plate, and a knockoff dual talon in the rear window. I played with some photo editing (rather poorly), but it doesn't seem like it would look bad. On another note, my light controller is through a Carson SC1022. Suggestions and opinions welcome.

Moon roof or no? How about a Whelen inner edge ?

No moon roof. The price of the Liberty is 350, thus the reason I'm interested so much. My window tint is also 5% in the rear, so solely interior lighting is almost ineffective to the rear.

Personally? I think it would look bad on a sporty car such as this one. I think you would be much better off appearance wise with an interior setup.


BUT.


It's you car. If you like it, go for it. No one here can discredit the fact that a full size light bar is more effective than the majority of interior setups. If your priority is to be safer while responding instead of maintaining a good looking car, then you can't go wrong. Not to say an interior setup would be ineffective, but again, it's hard to beat a roof mounted bar.


In conclusion;


Exterior bar-looks bad, very effective.


Interior- looks good, but may not be as effective as the exterior bar.

You can do a nice exterior set up.


Front:


10-75 lp bracket with two IP6


2 IP6 in the grill


HLF


Viper S2 on the dash


Back:


lp bracket with two IP6


TLF


Sides:


Back sides with single IP6


Sorry I'm a Federal fan!


That would give a even 360 around. This is what I'd do if I had a car but I'd do an ILS front and back

I Love fullsize bars on random cars! Do It!


My question, did you do any scaling when you edited the photo? Because exact measurements could change the look drastically, for example it could stick 5 inches or more off each side... But I like it!


To answer your question of "Can it be done?" Of course it can. You can stick and 80" streethawk on your roof if you wanted... Anything can be done :yes:

I have had really good luck in getting the local tint shops to cut the tint out around lights in our patrol cars. Just a suggestion if you wanted to stay interior. Yes a libby on a g6 would be different but i think it would look totally out of place. i upfitted a 07 g6 undercover a couple of years ago. Was a simple set up of corner strobes, wig wags, two sho-me slimlights in the front windshield and two in the back upper windshield. Granted the windows weren't five percent but it was still effective.

Do it, I have a Fed Sig Legend on my POS 98 Olds Cutlass... It works great.

 

[SIFD7101]

Thanks for the input everyone. Still not certain that I will not buy it anyhow, if nothing else for future use. I've not seen a G6 with a Liberty on it in particular, but I've seen pics of a few that have various lightbars on the, the worst probably being a Whelen Edge 9000 or something of similar. Then there's this one.

That's a ugly ass Sho Me bar.

That is lighting up the ground in front of the patrol car i'd assume..

>Implying that those old POS Sho Me bars lit anything up.

Definitely not appealing to the car.. And after getting some measurements and doing another photoshop image, I think I've answered the question.





Solution: I need a truck!

Or you can just just the frame down by 1 or 2 sections...

 

[7d9_z28]

Thats what I thought would happen, hanging over the edges. Boulder is right, cutting down the frame would work!

That would be an idea I suppose, but a little more than what I want to get into. Guess I should've done my homework first!

Well LFL Frames are easier than Edge Frames to cut... lol

I have a mid size street hawk that would fit up there!
