Pricey!
Also has a hood with scoops for sale, the Marauder pictured also has a badgeless grill.

Yeah here's the hood: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7989513077&ssPageName=MERC_VI_ReBay_Pr4_P cY_BIN_Stores_IT

Pricey for the rear lights, but the quality is much better than I had expected. Not sure I'd want them for that application but looks like a well made product just from the pics.

As for the hood, most likely a plastic or fiberglass add on scoop, I think it'd look better if it didn't have hte line down the middle of the scoop as our hoods do not have a central line on the hood.

Still gotta like the fact that someone is doing this for our cars.

Nice.... but too expensive.....

Nice.... but too expensive.....

I agree, way too expensive.

[DEFYANT]

Man! That is nice, but over $1500.00 is nuts!

[DarthMarauder]

From the sound of the description I think its so pricey cause its actually the whole rear bumper too. Am I reading that right???!!!

Yeah, thats right. I like the bumper, but its just way too much. I wonder if anyone would take their bumper off and send it to this place. Could you go that long without a bumper?

I think they also did a honeycomb grill a couple years ago, for an exiled WI. member....

[Marauder2005]

Very nice, but like it was stated, to expensive...

[SouLRioT]

People have posted about their work before, everything looks really good, but priced out for many owners.

MarauderMark - Thats not a Marauder bumper. Its not indented.
It is a Marauder bumper fascia, it's just that the lights (apparently) fill-out the recesses of the letters of the Marauder script.

It's sure not the bumper fascia from a 1998+ Crown Victoria (another one that would be a fit); they don't have that bottom ledge going across the entire width of the fascia.

And it's sure not the bumper fascia from a Grand Marquis; it has an indentation in the top of the middle to accomodate the deck/trunk lid.

As far as the hood with the scoop ... IMO a 1968 1/2, 1969 Cobra Jet hood scoop is out of proportion (too small) for the Marauder.

$1500??!! They're on crack...

[Gre8one7]

lol looks just how i thought it would when i posted this idea a few weeks ago.

[Vortech347]

Paint the "MARAUDER" in red and duct tape a flashlight to it... :) 1500$ Yikes!!!

[dwasson]

How much is a stock bumper cover, painted?

I'd spend the money on the Naake suspension first though.

[ncmm]

wow, nice idea but. . .

for that $$ I think the "Marauder" lettering should at least scroll

[Breadfan]

I too had a similar idea for this. I wasn't sure how to implement, my ideas were very time consuming, with good cnc though it's feasible.

They need to broaden their market to bring prices down. They could make a snap in kit for the Marauder if they CNC the stuff, it would require installers cut the rear letters out from the indent out.

But I had ideas for this for things from my Triumph restoration project all the way to various tricks for hotrods.

I've got a ton of ideas of where this could work, their process looks quite nice too.

EDIT: On my idea for the Triumph, I had considered making a "waterfall" for the cabin much like vette's have. You know, make the rear deck come in between the seats like a waterfall. There I would cut out "TRIUMPH" or "SPITFIRE" along with a spot for a Triumph emblem. They would be clear or dyed pastic and be backlit.

Maybe not the best idea for a vintage car, but still cool.

The best approach I had was to create the metal fabricated parts, cut out the letters, and use something like a wax paper or other non-stick item that could be stuck to the outer side of the part. Then there is a pourable clear plastic you can buy - it hardens with a catalyst. Pour and smooth it over from the backside and it would fill in the letters. Sand and polish for a smooth glass finish.

Hard part is painting afterwards - hopefully the whole thing would pop out.

I'm curious how they did this - then again I'm betting they'd like to keep it proprietary for a time. Kudo's for what looks to be a really good job on this idea.

[King Fubar]

There's one here in FL. Forgot whose it was though. He sent his bumper up I think and they filled it for a grand.

[whoskal]

I can think of at least a thousand other things I would buy for that kind of money.

[whoskal]

Yeah and wipe my ass!!
