    setina push bar installed!!

    Hey guys, i finally got my push bar installed.

    Its the setina pb400 with the heavy duty kit.
    www.setina.com cost was $180

    I was going to get the quick install kit, but i found 2 things i didnt like about it.

    1) If the push bar is used, or your in a small accident, it can "crack the fiberglass frame" of the car, possibly even puncturing your radiator!!

    2) the brackets that hold it on rest on the top of the bumper, and over time it can/will wear the paint away.

    The brackets i got bolt right to the metal bumper. For the lower brackets, there are "struts" that bolt to the radiator bolts for extra stability (see pic) and the top ones aslo bolt right to the metal bumper.

    I did have to cut to small notches for the upper bracket in the bumber, but it is hardely noticable. And these brackets can take much more abuse. If you lift on the bar, the front end of the car rises, its very solid.

    The looks are awesome, see for your self...

    Can you post some oveerall shots, and a better shot of the upper bracket and how it goes "into" the car? From the picture, it appears you cut the bumper (on the upper one)?

    I was calling setina also to inquire about the push bar, (for the same reasons), but decided agaist it, cuz of the five-O look. I see speeders and aggressive drivers just about everyday and try to find a way of getting these azzes to get a ticket. yours blends in better ( black on black with black rubber protection) , even though setina also makes a silver push bar.

    Nice job-very urban assault looking. Is it a Crown Vic application you adapted to the MM? Steel or aluminum? Weight? Me Likey! Yes, it does look awsome and the price seems fair. Do we order direct?

    The main reason i put this on was because of minor accidents. My rear bumper was hit while i was parked, and im having difficultites getting it fixed (long story, but it will get fixed, the guy waited for me) So, my "excuse" is that if i get bumped lightly from the front, i wont get damage to the bumper cover, it'll just tap the push bar, plus it looks really bass a$$ on the marauder

    It is a crown vic application. I used the heavy duty kit. ITs light as anything, maybe 20-30 lbs with the brackets, i can hold the bar up with 2 fingers!! I believe its aluminum, but dotn qoute me on that.

    You can order it directly from setina. Just tell them is a personal order, otherwise they start asking for police dept etc. Its actually pretty funny, it looks like they dont sell many to consumers! Shipping from setina in WA to CT was about $25, so you can do the rough math of your location.

    I'll get some pics of far shots up tommorow.

    Nice illustrative pictures of a very neat installation, well done. If the left lane bandits move over, they had room to move over and should have already! Right on. I won't install one on my car but if you give me a heads-up when traveling I will be very happy to follow in your wake down the open LEFT LANE.
    GOD bless my friends, Paula, Cheese(Rex) and Alex and all those still with us.

    I like the hell out of it and I can see what others may think about it. I always had a hard on for PIs and after searching for them I came across the MM siting next to one! It's not like he has the full out bar on his car with fog lights mounted on them to abuse CVE to the fullest. Last I checked the MM has the PI rear end with the exception of the badge, bumper indentation, and duals. I never had the CVE untill I was in San Antonio and everyone I got behind put their seat belt on and moved over. The fact I hate is it takes a damn MM or CVE for the assclown doing 50 in a 75 on their cell phone. As much as people say they wish to not have the CVE or of it's existance It must exist if we kept bring it up in like 10% of the sites post. I am not flaming anyone but saying not evryone is out there to try and pull people over or run code 3 to taco bell just for S&G. I would get the bar too if I felt it would keep people from cutting my 2 ton car off while in motion. I had 3 cars and so far I had 2 of them hit. As others stated I think it's badas and gives the car an agressive look. To each it's own!

    In shorter terms I like the mod , may possibly look into it later down the road, and sorry to those I may have offended. Have a nice day!
