Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
It is beautiful, isn't it.
3.8L 200hp engine. Could use some new shocks, but the car I bought for $1350, and it runs amazingly well. And yes, it was a copcar.

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
get her painted (all the same color), dual exhaust, tint the windows, spoiler, and some decent rims and you'll have something.

No freakin' way!!
Get a spotlight, a thicket of different sized antennas, and put some blue and red reflectors on the dash, and get out there and scare the crap outta people!  (The St Louis city cops use stock black Impala SS's for DWI enforcement vehicles...always fun to tail a drunk and make him sweat it all the way...  )

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
Heh, yeah, thanks. I'll try to get some pics of the interior up sometime this week. And I am definitally keeping it this color. When i get the extra cash, yes there will be a spotlight, and I am gunna do something with writing on the side. Do you guys know if it is illegal to get police lights that go on top, then change the colors?

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
that's a pretty sweet (9c3?). I just bought a '99 LTZ (same engine) recently. I'd leave it the way it is for a while, like jeffco said, you could really cause some people to piss their pants. Come flying up behind them on the highway or do a U turn (if no real cops are around)and get behind them. You gotta have some fun with it before (if) you paint it. By the way, how many miles are on it???

I'd say it depends on what state you live in. You'd have to check your laws.

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
hmmm, okay. And there are 113k miles on it. But it was really well maintained. New oil ever 3k miles, and new brake pads every 6kmiles. It was a cop car, really well maintained one. YEAH, cuz i know people would definitally be scurrd if I had lights on top. But I'm just starting my Junior year in HS. So I'll prob have it at least til college.

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
Most states I'm aware of, blue and green lights are reserved for emergency vehicles...use of red (rear facing) and yellow or white is permitted..
Here, forward facing strobes are permitted also, if only used in the same way as using high beams to signal intent to pass, etc...the SS had those also...people get the hell outta your way fast on the highway

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
Probably not in Illinois. You can't do anything here!! (I don't know this from personal experience) I have some friends, though.. Poor guy got pulled over for speeding in his truck. Got warnings or tickets for....no front license plate, loud exhaust, tires sticking too far out on the sides, no mud flaps, tinted windows, hood obstruction (hood scoop). I thought hell I'm glad I don't pay his insurance!! It's been fun guys...I gotta go to work!!

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
I start school next week.  And green lights are reserved for emergency? I've never seen green ones in florida. Red and blue I know are illegal here, but I don't know if anything else is.

Some departments here are experimenting with unusual colors..green and purple mainly....my cop friends tell me it's to see if the unfamiliar lighting color demands more attention from the typical brain-dead motorist...they are seeing if incidences of rear-ending police cars making a traffic stop or working accidents drop with the unusual lighting...also studies have shown that drunks react sooner to unexpected emergency lighting colors...instead of drawing a bead on them as I'm sure you've seen in many videos...

Re: Hello all. My 1999 Chevy Lumina for you to see.
yeah illinois does suck  go wisconsin!!
you'd have to be really careful and read the statutes very thoroughly about putting lights on top of your car, and make sure you never try and fake being a cop and actually use the lights to pull someone over. that's where you could really get into trouble.
