MikeyPI Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Can you make me a Thai or Chinese knock-off versions of these parts? My mod requires only the cheapest quality parts available on the market, not brand-name nonsense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mod requires only the cheapest quality parts available on the market, not brand-name nonsense! In my country, pretty much every lightbar in every emergency vehicle is a Chinese fake. Maybe I could start a PH mod in the future and model some of those. If you've got any pics, I might be willing to do one when I'm not busy.

MikeyPI Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 lol, the sad thing is the Chinese have gotten pretty good about knocking things off, even full-blown cars to the point that if you did not notice the logos/emblems you'd think it was the real thing. I'm sure alot of people get duped with the cheap knock-off on parts these days. If you want a really strange but rather uncommon project to do (some police did use these things) you could always try your luck at a Whelen Fast Trax lighting system, I personally found them to be extremely ugly, but I'm sure some people would like the things.https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2194/5776817346_97dc36ec77_b.jpghttp://www.nicomm.com/images/wh_fstrx.jpghttp://s184.photobucket.com/user/soberbyker/media/psp%20cars/pasp317Small.jpg.htmlhttp://www.supermotors.org/getfile.php?id=130567&toggle=fullsize&f=.jpghttps://farm3.staticflickr.com/2496/5799030390_75b72125bd.jpghttp://www.phildorsett.com/images/whelenfasttraxrear.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1195/4552501147_eb92871726_z.jpghttp://images4.fotki.com/v41/photos/4/49373/230928/cnpca0585-vi.jpghttp://i.ytimg.com/vi/mTf5nMMPZTU/hqdefault.jpghttps://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2194/5776817346_97dc36ec77_z.jpg I personally can't stand the things, but some major departments around the country did have some of these things, they were popular in Canada in particular.

Not sure if I want to do that because its something so uncommon apparently. Maybe if a mod I'm working on has one of these then I'll consider making it.

MikeyPI Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I really really hate the things, none of the agencies I've done used the things (that I've ever found anyway) so it was never a required part for me, it was used by some pretty big departments in North America, but I really can't stand em. Even if one of the agencies that I have needed it, I'd be hard-pressed to make it Twas just a project for you if you wanted something strange/odd to do, someone out there would find a use for it.

randomperson139 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 That Whelen thing kinda reminds me of the lighting setup on some of the newer Ambulances over here. http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/photo/p1320828.jpghttps://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3922/14952899888_d10b0d1ce2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breidell Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I never knew CT actually had a marked state cruiser like that before but those things are extremely ugly and that ambulance is even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FInn Rescue 12 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Oh yeah! I remember those lightbars. Boston used them alon with other US city's for, city wide traffic enforcement but we only used the rear mount system. I also found a small video on them too I tried taken a clear XM700 code 3 lightbar and placing it in the rear of the windshield of a crown vic to give it that effect of Whelen fast trax.

I've so far seen a Silverado copyand a Hyundai Starex copyhttp://s1110.photobucket.com/user/fastyoyo/media/JAC%20Refine%20-%20Chinese%20version%20of%20Hyundai%20Starex/jacrefine_02.jpg.htmland we have a HiAce copy being used as an ambulance in a neighboring city. Chinese invasion indeed. First they invade our roads, then they will take the Spratly Islands.Awesome job, buddy. Are they code 3 and federal signal products ? ( except the Whelen vertex ) Can't wait to try them out !The new LEDs are Federal Signal products to be used in my LA Mod car pack. Thanks to my sources for finding them for me. Now for a real car.Charger has been UV mapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 My fav thing I saw once was the chevy knock-off on a dealer lot with a huge puddle underneath the engine compartment, that bodes well for the quality of said knock-offs Sad thing is most of them they've knocked off they match so closely if you got ahold of a real emblem nobody would know it was the fake till they looked under the hood.
