Not even going to try, go head put as many lights as you can on that thing. By the way i'm 100% sure your crown vic is a 2014. Why would you compare your crown vic to a a brand new vehicle that's just dumb. I have nothing against people putting lights on cars, but when someone buys a old police crown vic and then puts lights on it all i see is some kid that can't wait 5 years to become a cop.(not saying you are just voicing my opinion shoot me right?)

 

That is my problem but now if you are into modding your car with different things and turning it into one of those sport crown vics and taking it to car shows then i'm fine with it. But as soon as someone puts lights on a crown vic it turns from something cool to a kid just wanting to be a cop...

You do know that they stopped making Crown Vics in 2012, right? So there is no such thing as a 2013 Crown Vic, let alone a 2014. Why else would they bring in the new Interceptor and get rid of the Crown Vic if they still produced them? Just saying.

Hey Slimory, you wouldn't notice if I just...relieved you of that car, right...? :D Nice work man!

I don't get that entire "Police wannabe discusion". I mean what the hell?

It's his damn car. He can do with it whatever he wants as long as he does not violate a law in his State/Country

I'm pretty sure Slimory won't go out there and do false traffic stops or anything like that.

Therefore i totally agree with Termination and what he said here:

 

 

 

ON TOPIC:

Sounds pretty good so far.  I hope we're going to get some Pic's if you done eh?

I'm going to post a video once everything is installed.

 

Hey Slimory, the car sounds nice. I love lights also, a lot of people have lights in my town rather they're a Cop or Volunteer FF. No one really has amber lights because it's kind of pointless but if someone likes and it's really the only thing they can do as far as colors then it is fine. Whenever I get my CVPI or Interceptor I will have B/W lights in the front and R/B in the back because in New York that is what a Volunteer FF can have and I'm going to be one. So keep us updated because I want to see it and don't let the haters get to you, they just jealous lmao.

The same laws apply to Red/Blue lights, sirens, wig Wags, I can have them & can legally be sold to me or anyone else, but I can't be bothered with the hassle & I don't want to piss the police off, so i'll stick with pointless lol

 

Not to mean to go off topic, but with the generalization that everyone says that people buy ex-police vehicles in the attempt to Personate a Peace Officer is actually more false than true in most Canadian provinces.

 

I actually asked an RCMP how he feels when he see's someone with an ex-police vehicle, and he for sure did not say that he see's them as a 'wannabe'. He rather stated that he believes most people purchase an ex-police vehicle with good intentions. They're affordable, reliable, and a decent car. With some small mods you can make it last a good few years. He also said that most people who buy them are cab companies anyways, but the percentage of civilian owners have no wrong intentions with the vehicle. Most cases in which one was charged with Personating a Peace Officer, either it was a non-vehicle related incident or the vehicle was that of which was not an ex-police vehicle. He said in Alberta a small percentage of those incidents involve an actual ex-police car. Not saying it hasn't happened, but it very RARELY happens with an ex-police vehicle.

 

The last incident I've heard of in AB where the crime was committed, the accused was driving a Nissan Acura. The generalization that someone purchases an ex-police vehicle with the intention to impersonate is a very poor judgement. They're good cars, cheap, reliable. May be gas guzzlers, but which would you prefer; A car that will start in -40 degrees Celsius with no issues, or your 'fuel efficient' hybrid that needs to be plugged in to be started in such weather. 

 

I can respect what Slimory is doing, and while some can question why he is doing it, what does it matter? It's none of your business. He's going through the proper steps in order to ensure he is following all regulations and laws. He has no intention of using the vehicle in any way shape or form to impersonate. It's a project car. If he was going up and down the roads at 140+ km/h with the lights going just to get to somewhere faster, I'd have a problem, but since he is respecting the laws and going through all the proper steps to ensure what he is doing is LEGAL, I can respect that.

 

No, buying an ex-police vehicle does not automatically make someone a wannabe, and most people who purchase them are cab companies, regular everyday people, or people who just want a project car. Less than 9% I'd say are 'Police Wannabes', atleast from my experience.

Very well said! take my +1

 

Hey Slimory, you wouldn't notice if I just...relieved you of that car, right...? :D Nice work man!

Lol I think I would, seeing as I just spent $600.00 JUST on LEDs, not even the strobes tubes lol & I went and bought a license plate bracket & 2 Whelen T1R3's.

Hey man

 

I'm not about to call you a wannabe or anything, but I do honestly, genuinely wonder - Why spend all of that money on lights? That's a lot of money that could have been spent on [inevitable] fixes or further restoration of the car. As a former CVPI owner myself, lights would be pretty much last on the list of priorities if I was into that sort of thing. That's just me though.

 

I believe I've mentioned this to you in the past, but again, as someone who has owned and used a CVPI as a daily driver, despite what the officers tell you, they can't speak for everyone, and you should expect to get a little more attention, especially with those lights installed and functional. I've been pulled over and even harassed a few times for that sort of stuff, and I never had any lights installed. I know your intentions are pure, but it's just something that is very often frowned upon. 

 

Anyway, I'm not trying to bust your balls, and I'm sure you've heard this stuff before, so just to wrap up:

 

Be careful, and if you ever need any technical help (or parts even, I've got a bunch of CVPI parts laying around that I do need to get rid of), shoot me a PM and I'd be glad to help.

 

Also.... how are you gonna run down this list of stuff and not show a video?! lol

EDIT: Because you haven't installed them yet. I should read more carefully lol

Believe me, I wanted to restore the under the hood aspect of it first, but I don't install the lights myself & am still learning the wiring aspect of it. I want all the body work done before next winter hits as I will be taking it off the road for winters because of all the salt Nova Scotia uses, I do completely agree with you, but there is 100 things I want to get finished at the same time and I want to get the quickest parts of it done as under the hood could run me thousands because I do want a whole new motor which pricing one is about $2,000.00, but that could be far fetched, my intention with it is for show use, that is all, nothing more, nothing less, unfortunately there are people that ruin this kind of thing for people because they think it's funny to pull people over or drive fast with strobe lights, anyway PM inbound.

You do know that they stopped making Crown Vics in 2012, right? So there is no such thing as a 2013 Crown Vic, let alone a 2014. Why else would they bring in the new Interceptor and get rid of the Crown Vic if they still produced them? Just saying.

 

Oh my god did you even read my post? He was comparing a 2002 Crown vic to a fucking 2014 nissan. I was trying to say why is he comparing a older car that's dirt cheap to a new car that's way over priced.  I'm not fucking retarded I know they stopped making them. Thanks Einstein...

Really? is that really necessary? chill your lady parts.

I did read your post and you said and I quote; "By the way i'm 100% sure that your crown vic is a 2014." There is really no need to be insult other people just because they don't agree with you...

You need to drop the attitude right now.

Wow! Can't wait to see that sexy beast of yours :) Keep us updated

Thanks man! I got all the back windows tinted today, i'll post some pics tomorrow when it's light out.

I'm genuinely curious, where does your desire to upfit your car like that come from? Is it just liking the lights or what?

 

A surplus Crown Vic wouldn't get a second look around these parts; a surplus Crown Vic kitted out as you described in your OP, as Dankangel not so subtlety said, does come across as rather whackerish.

 

I'm just not really getting it I guess.

For fucks sake, Who cares if he puts lights on it or not....? Who cares if he genuinely likes lights or if he is a wannabe? Why is there so much hostility? I mean really, this is a Law Enforcement gaming community, lets act with some maturity and professionalism on everyone's parts....

Also at OP Pics! lol
