Thanks, what they do with the money is not my problem. Sorry to see you be upset with what they do with the money but its not only the SBA. I have a list of cars........
MiamiJeff said:
Right, I got that. I mean, don't you need to have some sort of justification to run a tag?
jeff, #1 the nypd doesnt build most cars light packages, they are done by outside vendors and have been for a long time.......... FSD and really mostly CRS does some repairs........ some service shops do.....but most repairs go to rick bon in queens........
and before rick bon , they use to go to some place on flatlands ave on the 63/69 border.........

Well am just going to say that:
1) Since am not familiar with who or where the lights are done (I thought it was fsd) my friend mentioned once that the dept was using outside companies for that type of work but I never got to verify that, I wouldn't actually be surprised since lately they been going to the lowest bidder.
2) Your work for that amount of money I think is very reasonable highlighting the fact that you will fix any issues that comes later in the future. And that job looks from my pov excellent.
If you can show the interior of the car that would be nice.

Thank you for your input. Every bit of it is appreciated.
Here is another Car that has pictures of the insides.

Thanks, I have many pictures and videos but that's something people over here don't tend to like. Instead of looking for a positive word to say, they look to knock someone down.
Our name on the street is what counts. Ask around and you'll be surprised to see what people say.
All I can say to all those who criticize our work, If we would have put a label on the vehicles we worked on, then on every block in Brooklyn would have at-least 25 cars with our label on it.
Hi FEVER
If you would live in NYC you would notice that none of NYPD's vehicles deck lights alternate. Most NYPD unmarked cars get done by the lowest bidder. Many of their installs are done by shops that don't really care what the lights look like. The main thing they care about is to get the job done and cash out.
It so happens to be that i have personally seen Fleet Safety's work and was very impressed by their professorial work. I use them for all my installs and so do most of my friends.
(ps. My lights do alternate in my rear deck.)

Nice work. But a Taurus SHO for NYC? Wow.

The back deck is not a install problem. Its the Lights and not just LED Guys Lights. The second PD package I posted a link of has WHELEN TALONS in the deck and they don't sync.FEVER said:

True words. 80% of the NYPD marked cars are equipped with FedSig Dual Viper deck lights that only half of the light works. The rest of the light is burnt out.
Thanks for sharing your experience with our state of the art shop!
Manny,

It's not surprising to me...I've lived in NYC for 22 yrs, and I can't recall ever seeing an unmarked NYPD vehicle with side warning (I think the most common setup I've seen are Crown Vics w/ HAWs and a pair of Dual Vipers or Cudas to the rear, and a Slimlighter w/ a pair of grill lights, HLF, and LAWs in the front corners). Any side warning that I've seen is usually a Hatzolah vehicle (you can see their vehicles lit up from NJ) or Fed LEO vehicles. Only recently have I begun to see some intersection warning on NYPD's marked vans on the sides of the headlight housings. Don't get me wrong...I TOTALLY believe that they need intersection and side warning on all of their vehicles, but it's just not something I've seen on their sedans
pdk9 said:
Must be a difference in location...most common setup around here is a Impala, with a Dual Viper in the front, two Dual Vipers on the deck, HLF, and LAW's in the front. As far as I've heard, the only NYPD vehicles that use Whelen are Highway.
911EL said:
That I can chime in and say that it is very true... Dual vipers on marked cars in my pct are mostly dead.
pdk9 said:
Yep you are right, although the slimlighters only highway has it or new cars... and yes hatzolah you can see them from NJ, LOL
The NYPD's Chevy Impala's as well as the Crown Vic's have very good intersection strobes/Hideaways, The new Ford Taurus are really bad and have no intersection visibility.
anystrobe said:
Right. Just so you know that most new taurus cars that you see in the dept are take home vehicles for the commanding officers and higher ups. I'm guessing thats why they are not stressing the installation, because most of them dont rush to calls...
However, you can see in my video of the Taurus there is a part that is shot from a side angle and does have pretty decent intersection visibility.anystrobe said:

In Brooklyn south a lot of anti crime cars were changed to the Ford Taurus not only Co's
anystrobe said:
Such a shame.. cars could look alot better.
911EL said:
I know it is an equipment issue. Please don't take it as me saying it was an install issue. It's the only thing I'd fix on the car if I was allowed. I know all too well that an upfitter is bound by the constraints of the customer.
911EL said:
That vertex Hideaway in the corner looks really cool, Do you have any videos of that vertex on??
anystrobe said:
Appreciate pointing that out since I was not aware of it, I work in the Bronx and there I did notice the anti crime team going out in the fusion...
gabrod said:
Hatzolah is a great helpful organization and I am Proud to be the one doing many installs for the vehicles they own. No matter if they can be seen in Russia, its the lights our shop installs that gets them to save many lives daily. I take pride in my service to them, and take pride in all my work.
Thanks goes for turning this thread into a positive thread!
911EL said:
The work is nice on the Hatzolah vehicles, Just wondering how they get away with it.
anystrobe said:
Sure, I have been here the whole day trying to get to know the people on ELB and I have learnt a lot in one day. I think I'm gonna hit my pillow and post that video in the morning.
To all the critics, Thanks!

Thanks for the upload, I'm very impressed with those intersection hideaway cut outs, I have never seen those before.
