    Crown Vic owner joining in

    While I don't own a Marauder, I thought I'd join the site and say Hi.

    This is my 2008 Crown Victoria Police interceptor that I bought in 2012.

    What it Originally looked like when I bought it


    How it looks currently.







    current mods:
    Badgeless grille
    Star Hid projector Headlights
    3 piece LX door trim
    Marauder rear fascia and tails
    2008 Mustang Bullit wheels
    Lincoln Town car jump Seat
    Carbon fiber wrapped MGM dash trim
    Poineer Double din
    Police trunk pack
    rear cat deleted 2.5 X-pipe exhaust with Flow Master 10's dumped at axle
    Eibach frontal Marauder springs
    Shelby GT500 rear springs

    Seats and Carpet are currently being done at an upholstery shop.

    I got to see some progress of it yesterday when I swung to grab something out of my trunk

    That seat looks great. What is that costing you? Can you find out for me how much he would do those same bottom covers only?

    Sharp-looking car, and

    I've always liked the "steelies with centre caps and trim rings" look the best, but the Bullitt rims are nice, too, with Fanblades as runner-up.

    One suggestion: those 4 grille attachment points at the bottom of the header panel. Maybe paint them black so they're not as obvious?

    Nice car! Black and white is a stark contrast without being too bold. I always wanted a factory white Marauder with a black interior.

    If you haven't already, check out SoCal Panther Cruzers. Bunch of nice guys. I met them at the La Verne car show in '15, and hung out with them at the Fabulous Fords event at Knott's last April (and will again this year). Not too many Marauders out here, but a lot of Vics.

    There's also that Monterey trip the San Francisco group is taking in a couple weeks. I think I'll drive up and join them. Look in the West Coast forum.

    Hey Mark, when is Knott's doing Fabulous Fords? Doubt I can get to LA but will be on the West Coast for a week or so over Easter. BTW Used to prefer Knott's over DL back in the day.

    Thank you, same here. In the future I might try to go for the current bullit style looking wheel ford has on the mustang.

    I actually already am, and have been to maybe 4 FFF shows? Anyway I'm actually the current club representative for SPC at the FFF council meets. Hopefully I'll see you there this year! If you have a Facebook we are actually much more active on the SPC Facebook group.

    I REALLY wanna make this happen. The only thing that is stopping me is the drive. But I've seen some pictures of the NORCAL scene and it looks nice and active with cruises. Do they have a web site, Facebook group or something? I think they are called Bay area vics? This is definitely a 2017 goal for me.
