I would of kept the pearl white, but at least it looks like the body shop did a nice job.

[musclemerc]

Well as long as you like it......

[DOOM]

You need to come to Carlisle in June!

Would like to see it in person!

THIS WAS THE OLD LOOK GOT TIRED OF IT I THINK http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/9774/cleanfq.jpghttp://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6348/frontimage.jpgIT WAS TO MUCH

[a_d_a_m]

Looks nice. I wish the Marauder would've come in white from the factory...

[twin03]

It looks good bro...

[justbob]

I liked it before and it looks even better now! Good job!

[ImpalaSlayer]

looks WAY better now. if you went badgeless it would look way hot!

[ImpalaSlayer]

oh and black out the window trim.

maybe even powder coat the wheels black, would look badass

[a_d_a_m]

+1 on the blacking out window trim, that'd probably look sweet.

-1 on powdercoating the rims...wish the black rims look would go away already...

says the guy who hates corvette wheels on a camaro yet had bullets on his MGM :rolleyes:

[Black_Noise]

its looks like a crown vic with marauder headlights and wheels.

says the guy who hates corvette wheels on a camaro yet had bullets on his MGM :rolleyes: Corvette wheels look dumb on a Camaro, whereas Bullitts look good on a Spruce Green Metallic Grand Marquis. :tongue:

[Vortex]

Looks pretty nice to me and damn sure is unique.

[gdmjoe]

ImpalaSlayer - oh and black out the window trim.
IMO the window trim needs to be whited-out.

Go for a ghost effect ..... full-size Marauder spare wheels ....

http://www.gdmjoe.com/mmspares01.jpg

And to complete the look ... emblems would have a brushed aluminum finish ( like the one in the Milan grille ).

Not that I've given any thought though :D
*At least that's a plan of mine if I run across the right, white, 2003+ Crown Victoria. Except use these ...

Holds true for a Marauder of any color :D

I like it!

It looks better than before. :)

http://www.gdmjoe.com/silverovals.jpg what u mean what is the difference in those wheels and regular marauder wheels?

[a_d_a_m]

what u mean what is the difference in those wheels and regular marauder wheels? The OE Marauder rims are polished (shiny), the OE Marauder spare rims are matte (not shiny).

[Black_Noise]

Holds true for a Marauder of any color :D

when I see 90% of the people with DD ex police cars, and our MMs get mistaken for cop cars by people not in the know, thats the last thing I would do is paint mine white, thus making it look like a crown vic.

Anyway, not my cup-o-tea, but If he enjoys it.........

[guspech750]

I think it looks great and better than before!!! Awesome job man!!

[kphillykid1023]

@black noise i feel u but if u saw my marauder in person u would change ur mind, number 1 no crown vic ever made has the quality of paint thats on my car i have candy bright white vics look dull. And my tail lights makes it different from a vic u cant look at my car and say thats a vic trust me

[justbob]

BTW, I envy you! I wish I could afford to just repaint mine ONCE!!

[SVT_MERC]

And my tail lights makes it different from a vic u cant look at my car and say thats a vic trust me

But Marauder tail lights are Crown Vic lights that have been tinted a little darker.... :dunno:

[Cobra25]

I was wondering ,They did a nice job painting it ,But Why did you paint it white ?

[Mac-MerC]

nice looking automobile
like it how u changed the grill to black and u took the dark ass head lights off.

[Egon Spengler]

In the words of the Seinfeld officer chasing after Newman and his MANY parking violations.... "THE WHITE WHALE!"

[bigdaddygangsta]

I've seen your car twice and it look nice. But it look a lot better now with the changes. Out of the 500 or more Marauders in Philly yours stand out

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

White Whale! I love it! I would get your factory wheels powder coated white too for the all-white effect. Nice car

Steve

[stevengerard]

I like the new white and the new light treatment much better, nice job

[kphillykid1023]

i was wondering ,they did a nice job painting it ,but why did you paint it white ?
i was painting it a crazy blue color but i didnt have the time to wait cause the door jams added a extra week and i run a business so i needed a quick job. But i was going for like a pepsi shiny blue

[kphillykid1023]

white whale! I love it! I would get your factory wheels powder coated white too for the all-white effect. Nice car

stevepowder coated white who could do that for me? But i get so bored in 5 months i might got to a crazy blue color so i really dont wanna mess with the wheels

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

You'd need to find a powder coating shop, I'm sure theres gotta be one near you being in a big city. You could sand them and have them sprayed base/clear white with auto paint and they would probably hold up okay but white powder coat would be more durable.

[kphillykid1023]

Ok sounds good

[-Matt-]

Hey i got me one of them too!!!

Oh.... wait a min....

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

That white Marauder looks SICK. Thumbs up. And leave the shiny stock Marauder wheels on it.

[bawazir]

Much better than before, nice, if i had the money i would paint it white too

[Ktorres1]

It's official! I'm obssessed with marauders! I've heard it once before or maybe a few times but I can't help but to realize that I've never seen an ugly one and if I was to have four cars, they probally be all marauders!!!! Amazing and gorgous is this white unicorn!

thx i love these cars to

[DOOM]

You need to try to come out to a C.A.M meet!

[Taemian]

its looks like a crown vic with marauder headlights and wheels.

+1, but if the owner likes it it's all good. At least there are no 24" rims on it.

[SILVERSURFER03]

I like it looks nice sir awsome

[Paul T. Casey]

Looks good to me.
Joe, you always seem to have something up your sleeve.
To all you noobs, I can remeber when this car was a myth, or at least un-documented legend.

No, I think a factory white Marauder was always the myth, along with the police package MM.

[Dj1]

Looking good.

That is all that matters in life is that your happy!

As to the rimms I would leave them as is to go with the tail pipe's @ least.

What are you going to do for the rear bumper insert's color wise?

[MMBLUE]

I like the new better than the old. Honestly the pld looked a little pimped out. I prefer traditional looking stock, eventhough it didn't come in white, it looks like it could've

thats what im thinking now i was gonna do reflective black, but imma do ss chrome insert. Then change my tips to 4 inches

[LSp8]

Ivory Pearl tri-coat or White Chocolate Pearl would've been a option I'd consider if it was offered. Like the color used on other F/L/M models. I'm glad you went with a quality job and a good shade instead of a flat or vibrant white like the CV. I like it. Kinda looks like a MM that received the wrong paint code at the factory lol

[Egon Spengler]

Leave the rims and do the chrome SS inserts. Will blend the two of them and the exhaust tips nicely like Leo said!

The SS polished inserts would work well with leaving the rest of it alone.

A few bright accents like that to stand out with a solid color always looks nice.

I have to admit if it wasn't for the rimms and tail pie's and inserts most would not think twice about noticing the car as something unique.

It's the first things I look for when seeing a Panther type car on the road to see if it is a Marauder or not.

[Blackened300a]

You should attend Carlisle with it this year. This will allow you to meet with a ton of our members. Plus its not that much of a trek from where you are.

[breeze]

[LANDY]

[kphillykid1023]

I took pics with my phone so dont look s sharp but i paid for some expensive clear coat cost me like extra 300 so it could look glossy white but where is carlise?

[Bradley G]

I loved the first white,
The second one, is not too shabby either!:2thumbs:
I would go white if I could get a complete re do.

Just google search "Ford Nationals Carlisle" It shouldnt be more than a couple hours from you. When I was in Blairsville @ school, it took me about 3 hours to get there.
