[2003 MIB]

What if number 8 is in the trunk????????:alone:

[2003 MIB]

Wait a second folks.... I swear on my Mama's eyes that during our Saturday night gathering at Chuck's:
1) Rumble wanted small flames on his car. Wife not excited by prospect...
2) Johnman was comtemplating mud flaps. I think it MAY have been the cool ones with the chrome nekkid chicks.
:D

[rumble]

Yea! Hey Mercman, "crazy member". Whats wrong with flames?

[MMM2003]

11: - Fuzzy dice - I know someone who has them.
They match the fuzzy seat covers really nice. I won't name that person, but she has a blue marauder in Chicago.

I swear I won't mention your real name jrzygrl ! :D :D

Just kidding. It really doesn't look too bad with those dice valve covers.

[jaywish]

You guys really made me think.

#1. Any pizza delivery sign on the roof.

#14a Funny looking stuffed animals and stuffed dolls on the rear deck

Gee, you think DR could make those part of a "mod" package?
Maybe call it the clueless package? I am sure a few of the L/M salesman would jump at a chance to spice up a car they know nothing about
And as far as flames go, a HOT car needs no embellishments to annouce its arrival

Sorry, but you are wrong. A local LM dealership decided it would be cool to put full side panel god-awful (IMO) appliques on three of the MMs they have in stock. Wish I had pic's to share, but needless to say it was NOT a pretty sight.

[MERCMAN]

That dealer must have been heavily medicated, or needed to be, and I suppose they would charge the purchaser for this WONDERFUL add on

[martyo]

24: My ex-wife!

[2003 MIB]

24!!!!- Amen, Martyo.

[RoyLPita]

#25 chrome fender moldings (see Ebay or TAF for a pic).
#26 "Baby on Board" sign in any window.
#27 "Mickey Mouse" or any childs decals on the rear windows.
#28 cheesy roll down shades to block the sun out of a side or rear window.
#29 whitewalls on 16" steel winter wheels (that goes the same for raised yellow letters).
#30 a decal set for the lower side doors that says Marauder (may the aftermarket NOT make it).
#31 A goofy looking non factory wing on top of the trunk

This is one thing that I will have made for my dash- a plaque with the phrase "Get in, Sit down, Shut up, & Hold on!"(A phrase I must use constantly with my relatives).

Just kidding about the last line.

BTW, Did I miss anything else????:D

[MERCMAN]

I was not going to go with anything baby related, Slowpoke might not agree!!

[gonzo50]

How about the "Phoney car phone antenna" on the back, side or anywhere gla-ss or roof top. :nono:

[Bigdogjim]

Well if you don't want to see # 3 don' t come to Marauderville in September...................

Jim - Only kidding.:D

[JGaignat]

#32 A stand up hood ornament.
#33 (this may already be here) Whitewalls
#34 those colored light things that teenage gangsta wannabees like to put under their ricers or on their wheels.

As for the baby related.......I had to put a car seat in the back seat of mine. My little princess is only 3 and this is the only way she can ride in "Daddy's big black car." She likes it better than Mommy's Suburban.

Maybe I'm raising a little JRZYGRL...............

[DetGeno]

Also no new spinning chrome rims, but for law enforcement gun rack in trunk is allowed.

[Marauder57]

- Luggage Rack Rails on the Truck Lid.
- Hillary in 2008
- Bumper Sticker "Gas, Grass or A$$, No one Rides for Free"
- Any Sticker relating to punk rock.
- CB Antenae
- Hood Mounted Bug Deflector

****z! Now I gotta figger out how to get that bumper sticker off of my car.....



:lol:

[merc406]

All I gotta say is " to each their own"....................

[Ross]

raised white letter tires? I know someone posted above about no raised white letter tires on 16" winter wheels. I've never seen a MM with these kind of tires, but they might not look bad against the all black background. OK, flame away!

[Bigdogjim]

Well looked at it this way----

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations (IDIC)

[2003 MIB]

IDIC!!!!!! That's my .02 too! If I don't like what you did to your car- Big deal...Chances are you didn't buy it for me...Saturday night was an eye-opener. 6 Black Marauders- 6 different cars with different levels of exterior mods. When it's all said and done- they are just like their owners- individual. Actually, I think we could have done all the things listed above and the factory Blue (We had one of those too) still got the most attention from the casual observers at the show. It's more important that the owner is happy. Vinyl top might be the best way to spot your ride in the sea of Marauders in Ennis.

[03SILVERSTREAK]

Cell Phone antenna are allowed ???

[03SILVERSTREAK]

Hey just asking...

[2003 MIB]

Okay with me. Anyone?

[prchrman]

steer horns on the hood
button and tucked
roll and pleated
foot gas and brake pedal
rebel flag headliner
Bumper stickers:
rainbow
rednecks for gun control
rednecks for gay rights
vegetarian redneck society
republicans for Gray Davis
Leaning on this car is acceptable
I'd rather be driving my Honda
Tofu burgers, yummy

[2003 MIB]

Hmmmmmm- Steer horns on the hood...Ya just don't see enough of that anymore. Might have to go retro for that Buck Owens look...Now I'm wishing I hadn't blacked out the chrome badging.:cool:

[lshultz]

Say! Steer horns on the hood...give's you the Boss Hogg look to get the stares at the local A&W Drive-In...:D :D

[Patrick]

What about the Dukes of Hazzard horn?????

[bchapman]

How about changing the chrome trim for that "bling-bling" gold flash and matching wheels?

[Racerx88]

#1 thing to never see on a Marauder.......
A pointed at the sky, monkey installed rear spoiler! (Just ask Logan)

[2003 MIB]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Poor Logan!

[Racerx88]

Sorry Logan. Just couldn't resist!

[lshultz]

Patrick,

Boss Hogg is the one that has the horns on the Duke's of Hazzard..:) :)

[Patrick]

Its been awhile since I have seen that show!!!

Gettim Logan!!!!!!!!!:D :stupid:

[jgc61sr2002]

To each his/her own. Do what ever it takes to float your boat. It's your MM and only you have to like it.:D

Dingle Balls
Any of my ex-wives

[Flat Eric]

more don't wanna see in my MM's:

#n: A Grand Marquis Owner's Manual :-) [you know the story]
#n+1: dents
#n+2: someone else driving it away
#n+3: 8" fart pipes
#n+4: larger wheels on the front after service [you know the story]

[BUCKWHEAT]

has anyone seen nitrous on an MM???

[cruzer]

OK folks---laugh if you must, but, my stand-up hood ornament has a definite purpose---I was a fighter pilot back when you lined 'em up in the cross-hairs--so it comes in handy when I am tracking a ricer for a shoot-down--let an old man dream

[2003 MIB]

I was waiting for you to hit this thread Cruzer!!! It's the only stand up hood ornament I've seen on a Marauder (pics included). When y'all meet cruzer you'll understand- a very unique individual and his car reflects him perfectly.

[Crazieboutamerc]

Anything made by APC ( another piece of crap)

Tim

[Long Live #3]

"Lacuca Ratcha" horns!

[Patrick]

You go Cruzer!!!!!!!!!:D :D . Happy Hunting.:bandit:

[T-90K]

The car's exterior is fine as is. May be less chrome will be fine... all in black.
And no fake stuff like rear spoilers and blue colored pseudo-xenon lights.

[Long Live #3]

I would like to see an MM with those clear rear lights.

[MAD-3R]

To paraphrase Clint Eastwood-
"Anyone who would do that to a Marauder ought to have his @$$ removed"

When I first saw the lightning with them, I thought the owner was smoking the GS (Good S#!T,) then he told me they were Original, I lost some respect for SVT.

[Long Live #3]

I'm just saying that they would look cool on an MM.

[MAD-3R]

Going to have to dissagree with you on this one.

[Long Live #3]

It's your opinion. I'm not going to argue.

[Jay Stark]

stick on windshield compass in white (yellowed from the sun)

[duhtroll]

neon hot pink Jesus fish
parking ticket
mud or dirt of any kind (incl. bird crap, bugs, etc.)
dents, scratches, cracked glass, etc.
paint swirls
parade float in tow
those "car smiley face" grill attachments


and . . .

a fuel gauge that reads 'E'

Thanks,

[ITZAMERC]

The longhorns were the first thing I thought of, but seeing as how those, Landau roof, and opera windows have already been tallied, here are my picks:

crystal chandelier domelight

Landau roof sidelights

rear window metal louver, often seen in '70s into early '80s

Grateful Dead window decal

big chrome trailer towing mirrors hanging off the front fenders

horseshoes, wreaths, or anything else wired onto the grille

aftermarket 6-lane-wide rearview mirror

magnetic signs on doors, advertising some business

[bigslim]

Here in the Motor City I have actually seen one with a fake convertible top. Also saw one with TV monitors in the headrest. TV ok, rag-top a no-no.

[RoyLPita]

How about a mini disco ball or anything reflective hanging from the rear view mirror?

[modular46]

I substituted a FoMoCo 100 year anniversary badge in place of the M waterfall on the trunklid. Much better than new.

[Meteorite]

Brown vinyl steering wheel "cover" from Pep Boys -- the kind with the vinyl laces!

[BISHOPSS95]

#69. A 12 sec time slip

Bwahahahahah

:D

Am I going to get my *** beat for this one.

[MAD-3R]

Mac?

You want to field this one?

:lol:

[Silver_04]

Tassels
Those hideous fake bullet holes
Mary Kay

[drobin]

Would a customized windshield sun shade look too tacky or should it be added to this list?

Donald
"drobin"

[lgetz]

Flames coming out the tailpipes like the Ricers. Geez some guy had it on a CRX and it drove me nuts after about the thousandth time he revved it up and backfired and flames came out the back. :flamer: Also those fog lamps with the multi colored ring around them. Been seeing those alot lately. They turn red, orange, blue, green, just crappy looking IMO. Zebra stripe seat covers. Ex GF had it on her ride and it was tacky.

[rgvfed]

I gotta gun rack.....in the trunk

[TechHeavy]

13. NEON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D'oh! OH NO!!!!

Patrick, not liking blue neon w/black MM?

Here in the Motor City(Now Ohio)we have Neon Frank who put blue neon under his Marauder.I think it looks pretty good.We only have one Marauder with "Skunk Stripes"on it(I think)and ya cant badmouth our Chaplin.There might be another buy this spring.

[Paul T. Casey]

To the members who have responded to this poll; Thanks, you have effectively wiped out my entire Christmas list. I hope my wife is able to cancel the magnetic flame order, and anyone know how to un-superglue a hula girl from a dash? :rolleyes:

[Bluerauder]

72. my kid driving it
I have no problem with #72 .... as long as he brings it back with a full tank of gas. :D

[jakdad]

Ok, guys(and gals!) I am starting a list of things one should NEVER see on a MM.

#1. Any pizza delivery sign on the roof.
#2. Taxi for hire
#3. VINYL TOP
#4. Bumper stickers, ie. I would rather be driving my Sable. :nono:
#5. Curb Feelers
#6. Fender skirts
#7. Flame decals on the side
#8. Gun-racks
#9. Hubcaps!!!(winter climates exempted for daily drivers)
#10.Bobble-headed dogs on the back deck

Of course, feel free to add your own

As usual, these are just my opinions, I could be wrong!!

O.K., But what if, WHAT IFFF, the curb feelers were, now get this, BILLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May have to make an exception for #5.

#81- J.C.Whitney "flying woman" hood ornament
#82- Garfield stuck to any widow
#83- Strap-on front end bug screening
#84- Vinyl seat covers
#85- Terricloth seat covers
#86- Fur seat covers (ahh, screw it any seat cover, except the female kind :D )
#87- Chrome window "rain drip" guards
#88- Seal of any city/county/state government w/ accompanying official license plate. Police cars excluded. :o
#89- Turn signal LED strip across the trunk lid
#90- "Blue dot" turn signal lens conversions

Flames are bad 'cause cars that are on fire are not faster.

My ex-bi, uhhh, ex-wife driving it is a nightmare! :eek: I suppose those bumper stickers in the "My ex-wifes car is a broom" or "High performance woman, I go from zero to b!tch in 3.5 seconds" genre is OK as long as they aren't on the paint.

Damn jrzygrl, why'd you have to mention "husband"! A woman with a Marauder should know better, and now my fantasy is ruined!

Maybe not, ;) .

:D

[FastMerc]

Oh what about coon tails on the antena:bs: wait Marauders dont have antenas,less drag makes them faster:banana: :lol: :rofl: :rofl:

[chasrein01]

Have to disagree with all types of flames. Ghost flames would be ok, but only on the front of the car not the entire side and roof area. Not the multi-colored orange-red-yellow etc.

[Patrick]

#81- J.C.Whitney "flying woman" hood ornament
#82- Garfield stuck to any widow
