And It Begins
I purchased my car from the City of Raleigh back in July and have been collecting parts since. So far I have gotten the antenna, light bar, and spotlight holes shaved. Picked up a camaro condole for $60, got the bins from IPF. Switched the titanium interior to black (covers a lot of the scrapes and bruises from its former life.) Now I'm working on removing all the police wiring, installing a reverse camera using ppvsteves kit, and putting everything back in.

That is an interesting colour. Is that some sort of teal?

Re: And It Begins
Thier department called it electric blue i think it's a Ford color not 100% sure though. Hopefully it will be all 1 color in a few months.

Re: And It Begins
Looks almost exactly like the cars Palm Beach PD uses.... they sell their cars via Public Surplus.
Thanks
