I keep going back to the first pic of the 2011. The cow catcher on the front just doesn't flow with the lines of the car.

How are you doing the rear veterxes? The taillights are led...

And I guess if your doing vertexes in the backups, your not going to use the factory wigwag

That was copy and pasted from my notes... since corrected. I am putting a slit red/blue in the reverse lights.

Yeah, I agree... but in person it looks a bit better. It's also not crooked as it appears in the grill shot. That's just the camera angle.

Are you going to use the Soundoff Ultralite 12 on the rear of the slick top?

The client spec'd out for an UltraLite 8 in the rear window. I am going to measure the cars tomorrow though. If a 12 will fit I would like to go with the 12 and the client gave me some wiggle room to make such changes. Anyone know which would fit better? Rear deck.

38.75 inches long for a 12 head.

My UltraLite 12 just came in the mail today and it fits great in the back window of my 2005 Impala, should fit the Charger I would think.

Can't wait to see finished!

pdk9 · May 16, 2011

i stoked to see the finished products; the lighting list looks great.

btw, i'm glad that they're going with the libby for the new charger; i personally think the freedom on their current charger looks a bit big/goofy

Yeah... they were actually going to put one of the Freedoms on it from one of the Crown Vics being retired, but with a little push from one of the sergeants we were able to get the chief to go with a lower profile bar.

There has been a slight delay in getting some of the vehicle specific parts, but I should have some "after" pics up very soon.

I'mabeast · May 17, 2011

May I please ask what type of lightbar is on the Charger & Crown Vic?? and where can I get one & how much are they?? Please

Whelen Freedom .... replaced the 9000 series, wicked bright but costly.....

Whelen Freedom .... replaced the 9000 series, wicked bright but costly..... most upfitters can get them... they are better suited to trucks.etc.. they can be tweaked out to split the levels up n down.. i tricked out the cab mounted one on my heavy rescue....

Nice Charger..... get it done so we can see pics

Just waiting on some client supplied items at this point. I am looking at having these done the last week of this month or first week of next month.

I may have some used available. PM me with the details on what you're looking for.

Do you know if they fixed the lug nut issue on the 2011s?

No idea. I don't know anything about a lug nut issue. I'm a Ford car and Chevy truck guy. Not much into the Dodge scene. Unless we're talking classic muscle, then it's a black on black '69 Charger or '69 Camaro for me.

They sent the cars out to be marked.

Do you install for any other agencies? I've noticed Skagit SO is finally upgrading their lightbars...some odd choice in colors etc. in those old lightbars.

I haven't installed for other agencies up here since 2005. I will have to pay more attention to what they are running next time I see one. I haven't really noticed. As of now I am in Snohomish county. I move to Mount Vernon (Skagit) in the coming months. You're LPD? The new look of the cruisers is sharp. I saw an LPD Charger at the mall the other night when I went to see Fast Five and it had the new decals. Nice!

Yes I'm with LPD. Our chargers aren't bad (I still drive the vic, the one pictured, because they are WAY more comfortable). I could think of a handful of ideas that would make the chargers look better but they are what they are for now. I lived up in Sedro-Woolley for a while years ago. Skagit is a nice county. If you ever get a look at the inside of a Skagit SO car you'll drop. Unless they've changed things they were never well organized with their consoles and placement of equipment. :duh:

I know you're focused on EMT stuff right now but I'm looking forward to seeing more of your installs. You do a nice job. Like I said before, it's nice to have another option for installers in this state. Never had good run-ins with Day Wireless and I don't wanna go to North Bend to have stuff installed. Most installs are done in house which makes it difficult for private installs.

I had a lot of fun when that movie came out. I sat on the 3rd floor of the parking garage and wrote away.

I'm not much of a Charger fan either, but I will say the 2011's have a neat look. I still wouldn't own one, but they're an improvement for sure. I actually can't wait to trade my sedan in on an F-250. My EMT stuff is done now. I am an EMT, but I am working on my Fire Protection Technology degree now, starting this fall. I have lots of time for installs, especially over the summer. Yeah, Alan's shop is a bit out there (FCI Cars). It's nice territory though and Alan and his people are always friendly and helpful. I was recently out there and just made a day of it. I hit up Scott's Dairy Freeze while I was out there. That place is a must if you're out in North Bend for any reason! YUMM!

Nope, not my classic... I wish.

You guys can cite people on private property?

Anyway, better stay on topic. I am heading over to pick up one of the Chargers today if all goes well. I think all of the parts are finally in.

In a lot of states you can cite on private property for certain violations. Here we can do DUI, Reckless and Handicap Parking violations. The rest is a no go.

Interesting... *Note to self... behave on private property also!*
