well....i dont really know what to say to this comment....if you confuse a cop car.....which are usually ford crown victoria's.....thkning that a P5 looks simliar to it....at night pulling up behind you.....then you have alot more to learn about ur car as well as other cars in general than i thought...
the headlights alone on a cop car (crown victoira) are WAY different than the P5 or even a Protege headlight.
but dont worry...i'll teach you up good

My vote is the same.
Not a fan of the gold on black, and the super low profile over-aceuates the color contrast. Also makes the red calipers really stand out - and being the only red thing on the car that makes them stick out even more.
I agree with te hprevious posts that if you're gonna go w/ the gold theme, you need more things on the vehicle to match it.
Hell, why not the windshield wiper arms...

First off, most Orange and Osceola County sheriffs/police/st troopers drive new Impalas, Intrepids, Cobalts, those bad ass Camaro trooper cars and then theres the not so often Crown Vic. Which I know by the rectangle headlights and those ever so distinct inside running lights. The Impala and the Cobalts on the other hand have similar headlights to the Protege. And that doesnt even start to mention the tons of unmarked cops in anything from a F-250 or a Jeep Cherokee to Mustang GT's. I personally can name almost any car type and generaton just by what the headlights look like when comming up from behind, I just had never been in my own rear view mirror before and it was new to me. I am very knowledegable about cars and their parts, infact I even taught the guy at NAPA a few things about some of the parts they sell there. I ovbiously know the difference between a crown vic's and my own headlights, just dont start to even think im car stupid, because if I was I wouldnt be on this site trying to help others. Which doesnt mean I know everything, so if you wanna teach me good well then take me to class!
PS. Did I sound pissed off up there? lol, I was trying too, I just dont like people assuming that im stupid thats all.

Thanks man! lol. And just as a heads up that Jeep Cherokee, its dark green and its a state trooper and he sits around the hw33 exit on I-4 along with the ocasional radar guy on the bridge getting you as you pass under the over pass. And the black Mustang GT, well its also a state trooper and he drives up and down 192 between the St. John's river bridge and I-95 just west of Melbourne. And that F-250 is Osceola county sheriff and is always around my place. And as well St. Cloud police also have around 5 or 6 black F-150's, marked but its blue on black with slim lights on top as seen on the trooper camaro. Ive seen everything man, and those impalas get me because theres so many street ones driving around as well. And if you read my last post or two in TLT then you can see that ive just seen most of the countys cars drive by my house anyways. But enough on this, cops suck and thats all there is to it.
Unmarked RX-8? I bet its slow.

I don't know about that... all iknow if that it had someone pulled over on atlantic blvd. I had to make a u-turn to make sure i wasn't seeing s***. Grant it thats the only time I have seen it.jeg0024 said:
I like it , it looks hot. not to thread jack, but I'm wondering how gold RX-8 wheels on a blue P5 would look. If someone wouldn't mind, photoshop this and post it up later. Gave a few pics to choose from, not sure which one is best to use. 3rd pic is the only day pic I have right now, only thing is more altering has to done, like shamu un-attacking my car.

don't throw a BF (b**** fit) i was just messing around....and i know there are more cop cars that just the crown victoria...hell we have chargers in my area (with hemi) as well as marauders....souped up of course...the camaros i thkn everyone has those......
but i was just kidding around with you...hince the laughing in my typing....lol
i think what was meant by the wheels comment earlier is that in certain pics.. it looks more of a tan color than gold, because it's not shining correctly. not sure if its just the angle of the pic, the paint, the clear coat, etc?
regardless, it still looks really good
