Two of my favorite pix of the car.....and I didnt take them.
I found them online.

The first because of the Texas Flag canopy
and the second because of the look on the kids face in seeing the pushbumper.
These were takin at a Corvette show at The Forum, Northeast of San Antonio- two weeks ago.

tight car
use it when your patrolling, that would give the speeders a good scare and no hope for escape

That sounds like "Mickey" out of Houston.
From his youtube vids he deserved the tickets.

His car is very nice but the guy isnt very friendly.
Ive tried to reach out to him a couple of times with no replies.
He also stays out of any threads I post in forums he frequents.
I think he feels I poached in his territory but he was already demoodding it
when I did mine. Besides....his said 411 and Saleen on the doors. Looked cool
but mine was a replica.

The Stangpede guy is in California. The head of that site told me he took the white
vinyl off the doors as well....

Mines going no where. Its paint! lol ;)

Yea mickey. His car is nice yes. And hes puttin down some good numbers. The kids got money to do it too. Hes on my other forum alot. Ive talked to him numerous times about little things here and there. But yea he kinda has that non friendly attitude. Ive never met him but its a vibe you can get.

He is from texas, but also lives in san diego. Hes not in standpede anymore tho. Some drama that i dont really know about. And HCM was the place that hooked his up first.

Sometimes I watch the movie just to see and hear that sweet *** car! How much crap do the cops give you? How hard was it to take the dash apart? I have the chrome VC's....love them!!

There are no impersonation issues as I have those credentials.
Soooo no Police issues.

The dash is not hard to remove. There are "How To"s on the net.

I havent put the VC's on yet cause Im looking into a clear powdercoating
cause there is so much magnesium in these that I fear they wont stay
polished for long if I dont seal them in some way. Ideas??

The 08 Extreme seats were almost 2 grand.
I didnt want wrinkles so add another $300 for the install.

I know this is a bit of necroposting, but I just stumbled across this on the board. The guy with the Geek Squad beetle is actually a friend of mine. He's a hardcore Chevy truck guy and he's going to be seriously dismayed about being on a Ford site

Also just an addition, even Geek Squad has trouble with the Black & whites in some locales. In California, the CHP had a fit and they forced Geek Squad/Best Buy to modify the cars like so, because "they might be mistaken for patrol cars" Really? A Beetle?

I know this thread is a bazzilion years old, but I hear the talk about people having the Saleen decals instead of police on the doors. Where do you get all the decals from the replica that was sold? The one that's in the pic that HRD KNX posted. That would be great, since I can't find them somehow.

Oh Wow...I never updated this thread. I have like two dozen more mods to Barry....
Oh well....yall are sick of him anyways! lol

Decals from a replica...? You talking about the Saleen event cars?
That was temporary stuff for shows. Outside of that I have only seen one guy who did that and it wasnt for long (he had police issues).
Most were cars Saleen vinyl'ed up for events only.

If you want to make yours like that just Google a local vinyl shop and tell them what you want. Be prepaired to show example photos and have the dimensions you want.

Thanks for replying! I didn't think I would get any.
Yes, I guess that's a show car, just didn't know if any decals like that were available. The decals were also on the replica sold by McDonald Ford in Michigan, that's where I first saw them. I don't have any idea of the dimensions though, since the Internet says nothing about the decals, and I have never seen them up close.

Haha, that would be cool, but one problem. I'm in Old Hickory, TN. Maybe someone that owns one with the decals can tell the dimensions. Otherwise, I'd have to guess.
