I just put this on last week, thought I'd be different. Its fun to hear people ask "Is that a real police interceptor?" People are gullable. Let me hear your opinions. I like it because it doesnt stick out, it blends really nice.

Nope cops dont hassle you at all. I have had mine on for a long time and when I got pulled over it prolly helped me out cause I only got a warning. Then again all the govt. credentials I have also didnt hurt:D A tow truck guy told me once that he didnt know Ford made police interceptor Explorers. I centered mine under the Ford emblem on the other side of the liftgate. I think it looks real clean, just like it belongs there.

Let me hear your opinions.

Maybe the gullable people aren't the ones that ask if that is a police interceptor..............maybe the gullable people are the ones that put those emblems on.

I work at a Ford dealership, and we happen to have one in stock, you can buy them over the counter for less than $10. Thanks for the opinions, I really like it too. I was actually surprized at how well it looked (like from the factory), I had a guy come in to work and ask someone what the diff was between the "Police Interceptor" Explorer and the regular Explorer. I just chuckled, and told him that I had put that emblem on there.

I decided one day while talking to a friend about how fast the new 4.6L's are that i needed to be different but not stand out, very subtle.

Robb: Ya sure know how to bring a guy down, Just kidding! I know there are people who dont like it, its just not there stlye. Oh well. Okay let me retract my gullable statement: after further thought, I realized that the only people that have asked if it is real are those who dont know much about cars, and they dont really care to. So please disreguard my discriminatory comment.

The funny thing is, is that you don't always need the emblem. My "Social Director" always seems to "Intecept" a police officer every now and then without one in her "BUMBLE BEE" (Yellow & Black 2001 Stang):D

I saw someone had a "super duty" tag below the explorer emblem, that looked cool.

I 2 of the same Police Interceptor emblem sI got last fall, but I haven't put them on. I found them the other day ina drawer and I'm thinking about it again, it would be fun/funny to have it on there. You might be able to scare some people on the road too :eek: . But I also put a "Ford Police vehicles" sticker on my back tailgate window, it's not real easy to see since I have tinted windows. But a UNH police officer saw it when I got pulled over last fall and ask me what that was about, I said my dad's a sheriff, (which he actually is part time) and he was like, oh ok, I think it might have helped a bit....haha. But who knows, just a litte fun toy of course.

So I might stick one of those police interceptor badges under my Explorer badge on the back, I think it would looke good/blend into the black paint on my X.
