The placement is pretty good, just lots of sync/spit fail. The tail lights look terrible how they are configured. I would have put the split Ions on the sides and the solid ones just a tad higher in the grill up front. Does it look like the rear inner edge had a narrow vertical viewing angle? Maybe just me. Caprice is a pretty good lookin car though.

I agree that the splits would make more sense on the sides, where you only see one light at a time. Solids are better up front, where you see both at the same time.
Also don't care for the vertex's in the taillights. They should have ditched the blue or the red, or put in a custom three phase flasher.
Otherwise, it's a nice ride. I drove a detective model the other day that we had as a demo, and was pretty impressed. I'm on the short list to get a new car this year, and they are thinking buying half Ford's NGPI and half Caprice PPV's with preference given to seniority which I have. Leaning towards the Ford, but wouldn't mind a Caprice at all.

Not bad but I think with more thought it could have been better. As it's been said move the solid Ions to the upper grill, move the split Ions to the side window and I'd run a single colour for the vertexs in the lower section of the tail lights, and NO WHITE TO THE REAR! Not a fan of half inner edge up front and a full one in the rear, at the moment it almost has more warning to the rear then the front. As for the console, did he say it's got 4 cupholders in it? I would probably move the L3 video controller and Cencom so the Cencom is up the very front, actually probably could have the L3 up the very front next too the shifter and the cupholders across the console behind it. Then again I'd have mounted the L3 up where the sunglasses holder is, seen similar before and it seems to work well.
Maybe its just me, but if I were sirennet, I would not be advertising this car on the web.
In my opinion, the lights are a horrible choice, placed in unusual areas, with stupid flash patterns.
The back hideaways need an entire post just to explain how awful they are.
Don't get me started on the placement of the controller's inside the vehicle.
I would expect better from a company like Sirennet.
I hope for their sake that it was the customer that requested all the idiotic non practical stuff, and not them.

I would have done 2 of the same color law in the backup lights and sync them together to provide a better punch.

I like the big mess of wires coming out of the front of the console and seemingly wadded under the dash.

I noticed that too... and I actually thought how awesome it would be to be able to stand behind the cruiser and not be blinded by the warning light.
(And I assume that as soon as you get a car's length or two away the angle is not an issue.)

I like the rear of the vehicle. I'm not talking anything about flash patterns, just the items used on the rear of the car.

apparently they didn't realize that the 2 holes in the headlight flasher were for mounting the unit .... heck even if you were lazy you could zip tie it back to the wire loom.
they don't do installs at sirenent, that is their showroom/ shipping facility they have partnered with star cars for their installs, at least thats what they have said in their previous videos.
