Yes, the exploders haven't always been the most reliable beneath the hood (I still like them, though, as long as maintenance costs ain't coming out of my pocket), but a F'in equinox?!?! You're not working private security for some ritzy retirement community in Boca Raton, FL.
Anyways, hopefully whatever unit you get will have striping done properly on delivery (rather than you having to fix it). I would say that some changes I'd like to see in the graphics dept are:
1) Enlarge the logo on the front row doors, & have a 2-tone/color stripe going behind it across the whole side of the vehicle
2) The word "police" in large letters inside the stripe on the 2nd row door
3) "caution: work dog" (in one color) small font just below the 2nd row windows
4) "K-9 Unit" in BIG letters on the side window bet. the C & D posts
Yes, I was extremely specific on the striping lol, but that's because I do graphic design. Anyways, hopefully a killer graphics/striping package and a decent lighting setup (more than a rotator bar and a V-con) will help mask how ugly the equinox is. Any idea if they're gonna let you help spec some of the equipment in it, or if they're automatically just gonna do what too many agencies do (put whatever they want in it without asking the operator that will be using it on a daily basis)?
