setina push bar installed!!

[chief455]

I have a 2008 Grand Marquis.

My question is for those who have installed a push guard on their Merc. Did the kit for a Crown Vic fit with no modifications? If there were mods, what were they and how much cost did it add? I'm pretty sure it would fit, but would like to hear from those with personal experience. Please, no haters who say I'm just a cop wannabe. I just don't want to lose another car and get screwed over by the insurance company. Thanks.

We mostly have Marauders here, but the CV and GM front bumpers are virtually the same, and as mentioned, require cutting to install any push bar.

If the flood of negativity turns you off, this may not be the forum for your GM questions, though many, many members will reply with info, not opinions. Or simplify the question " I have a 2008 Grand Marquis and wondered if anyone has experience installing a front push bar?"

You would get much better replies with a clear, simple question.

Wade through it, thicken your internet skin!

Your results may vary ...

First of all, if you're getting screwed over by the insurance company, you need a new insurance company.

How do you know what his CV is worth?

Second, most of these pushbars require cutting the front bumper, regardless if crown vic or not.

Third, if you get into a more serious accident, the frame may bend from the bar, causing the car to be totaled instead of just swapping front end parts.

If you can't stop hitting deer, get better headlamps, some HID projector retrofits to help you see the sides of the road better, or just plain drive slower in deer prone areas.

I suspect you have never lived in a deer infested area. I am in Kent County, Michigan, the #1 county for car-deer accidents in the whole state. I do drive slower in rural areas (at night), but that won't help if a deer decides to run into the side of your vehicle, and you never even see it coming.

It's ultimately up to you obviously, but I think looks hideous and irreversible. Not to mention adds another 150 lbs of weight to an already pig of a car.

My 2000 CHP CVPI has the original aluminum push bar on it. It doesn't weigh #150
