I hear you. SNOW arrived overnite. I Have the tires and rims, buying 12 more lug nuts today and ordered the full plain hubcaps yesterday. Also installed rear mudflaps Mon eve and Tues eve along with 3M polyurethane in the rear facia where it wraps into the wheel well and the mudflaps don't cover. Wifey wants to stuff the MM in a garage and not drive til spring. Ugh!

I feel so sorry for our northern brethren and sistern. Down here in God's country:

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor dark of night - will keep the Marauder from her flight.

Mainly 'cuz we don't see much of it 'cept the rain and dark...

Vic - With the full wheel covers it looks like an unmarked Police car. Looking good.:D

I just posted pics with the steel wheels mounted and with the aftermarket C.V.P.I. full wheel covers while the snow storm was starting to pick up. I must admit the covers look good. will give it a test drive now that they are saying there will be about 6-8 inches in the early morning. also to report that none of the steel wheels rub on the calipers.

lso to report that none of the steel wheels rub on the calipers.
They shouldn't. IIRC, Marauder uses the same brakes as a Town Car, Grand Marq, and Crown Vic.

I wanted a Ford wheel cover instead of an ugly plastic one Tire Rack had. :D At least these come on the base model CV for 2002.

Those Goodyears the car came with are horrible in the rain and snow. The Yokohamas are much better.
