I like the lights on the back and front but I'm not a big fan of the lightbar. I would go with a red and white whelen freedom or a valor. Maybe some lights in the side windows as well 

Do the windows similar to this:

Looks good, only I don't understand the light in the front windshield when you have a fully marked unit with a light bar. The lightbar suits it, but if you want to make it more CFD like and have a green light, make it the one on the far right side, and keep the amber ones the same or switch them to red. Lastly maybe take off the lights on the bottom of the tailgate. All in all this is a really good start, and it is quite impressive that this is your first model, good job.

Are those Chevy rims? If so, you do realize that's a Ford, right?

Thanks, though I am keeping the light bar due to it being a request.

Thanks for the Idea!

Now, I have the green light due to it being requested. I wanted a sort of CFD and Liberty County type vehicle. CFD has the lights on the tailgate as well. Thanks for the advice though! :) and btw this isn't my first model, its my first FIRE model lol

Yes, and I do realize that's a Ford. I'm not stupid. Is there a problem with it being Chevy wheels? I did change the texture of it to have a ford logo instead of a Chevy logo. If you have any better wheels to give me, I be glad to take them. Otherwise, I'm going to use what I have. :)

That doesn't change the fact that they're Chevy rims...

The fact of the matter is, if I had that PI wheel before I'd use it. That unlocked explorer has bad wheels on it of you didn't notice. the have bad tire mesh with them as well. 

 

It be nice if you commented on what this was about in the first place instead of the actual explorer its self.

There's nothing bad about "mesh" of the rims. The problem is that the material is messed up. I suggest you remap the tires and rims on new materials and delete the old ones.

Alright well, I'm going to do what I want to do with my models and you can do what you want with yours. I never stated that I was planning on releasing this explorer. This was a requested vehicle in the first place. I'm not going to argue about which tires I should put on a vehicle.

You've got the wrong attitude, my friend.

Honestly, I don't mind changing the wheels on the vehicle. I'm fine with it. But, this thread was meant to be about the fire vehicle and ways I can make this more "fireable". lol Not about the actual model it self.

Yeah I recently discovered the lights on the tailgate and the green light does make it look a lot like one from the CFD, great job.

I know there's a couple of things to make this more of a PI but, I hope you guys enjoy anyway!

I don't know jack shit about lighting so i can't really make suggestions, but the lighting on the bumper is really ugly. It kind of brings the car down. :(

 Really, I have gotten PLENTY of Great comments about the cars lighting etc.But your comment has been taking into consideration :)

 

I mean, It looks great in that real life video LOL. After watching your wip video again, I guess it's growing on me. I love the pattern of the lights in that real life video. looks fucking gorgeous. 

 

edit: I look forward to seeing the finished result! will it be for public release?
