Journal intermodal's Journal: Cop Stuff 3
Upon cashing in that insurance check for the accident in july, I went today and registered my car, and headed south from Sherman to Howe. On my way to find the shop the fire chief had told me about, the same one that DS's new pickup got its stealth lights installed at, I ran across it without even trying to find it.
Cop Stuff.
that's the name of the shop. They equip most of the region's police cars as well as other civil volunteers (i.e. volunteer firemen). Upon pulling up to their establishment, a metal building with about five bays and a back shed all full of brand new Police Interceptors in the process of being equipped/marked, as well as the whole of the business' parking and surrounding areas being so jammed with police cars of various departments and paint jobs, I had a feeling I'd come to the right place.
Immediately, one of the guys came out and asked if he could help me, and I asked about the Go Rhino frame-mounted pushbumpers, and he instantly quoted me a more than reasonable price including installation. Next, I asked if he had any lines on the black honeycomb grilles that come stock on the current issue interceptors, and he had a black one but not a honeycomb. Offered it to me (Brand new) for $25 installed, which I immediately accepted (I loathe chrome in the country...such a pain to clean), and I asked him about license plate brackets for the front of a current-style Crown Victoria. Less than half what the Ford dealer wants for it.
We went in and talked to the mechanic who handles scheduling, and the salesman wasn't sure if he could get me in before Christmas. With the number of cars in the surrounding lot, I believe it. The mechanic, upon finding out that I wanted work done on a 1998 model, was practically ready to hump my car upon finding out he was going to get to work on an old model, and rearranged things to get me in tomorrow just after lunch, and will be installing it while I wait. Naturally, they have pushbumpers for current-style Crown Victorias in stock all the time, so that's a non-issue.
Tomorrow, I should have before and after pics.

Sorry - I've been trolling too many car modification boards lately
