Interior trim idea?

[loud2004marquis]

Been thinking about the interior trim piece under the radio and was remembering how nice the one in my Grand Marquis was.

Heres a pic of the GM and notice how it says "GRAND MARQUIS"...Kinda hard to see in the pic (It's on the wood grain trim piece under the radio)

http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/812244

It was written in silver from the factory to match the thin trim of silver on top of the woodgrain...

Anyways, I've been thinking about this piece in the Marauder and this pic really shows how plain it looks:

I know some Marauders came with a digital clock in this location and it looks really nice there.

Has anyone ever found a nice "MARAUDER" decal to put here?

Or has anyone ever thought of or heard of any good ideas for this?

I would like to add a scangauge to my MM. And that looks pretty good there.

Darn you! Now I'm going to notice that bare spot everytime I get in the car, lol.

[loud2004marquis]

Was considering the decal/God's head, but miss the Grand Marquis style too much.

Scangauge is way too much for me! lol (looking for subtle)

And CBT, your coil covers are still bugging me!
(Gots to get those next)

My wife suggested finding someone to airbrush it. Gonna call for some quotes...

I like that alot.I can think of a couple of places where it would work...Let me go take a look at the local junk yards.:bandit:

Here is what I did!!:beer:

W/ that mod Marauderjack, am I wrong to assume that you just run the OBDII cable down the left side w/ out any other modifications besides obviously cutting a hole for the SGII?

[Zim Hosein]

I forgot to ask Marauderjack, do you or anyone else know the part number for that piece of dash trim? :confused:

I ran the cord right through the dash behind where the gauge is mounted!!:beer:

The tricky part is cutting the hole smaller and filing it out for a "press fit"!!!:D

[fastblackmerc]

I mounted my Scangauge in the overhead console in place of the compass.

That item number gives me the following listing at tasca:

Item Number: 3W3Z54046A62CAB MSRP: $474.83 CORE: $0.00 PRICE $313.39

Instrument panel - Instrument panel - Trim molding - Marauder

Charcoal Right 2003 - 2004

Can it really cost that much for that thin stip of faux carbon fiber? :confused:

If I could find an inexpensive replacement trim part I would try it myself using a Dremel, but there's no way in h*ll I am attempting that mod to the trim piece currently on the MM myself! :o I am honestly not that skilled or confident. :(

Thank you for your response Marauderjack! :beer:

Steve Babcock commented on mine and how he wanted that Marauder locog placed there from the factory.

Joe, I like your airbox lid. :beer:

[loud2004marquis]

Did some research and here's a full size example taped in the car of what I want to get painted.

In the exact size, color style and location...

[loud2004marquis]

Agreed.

Very nice!

Is that a custom cut decal or painted on? Looks nice! :coolman:

LOL @ the 1-2 springs hanging from the rear view mirror. Love it.

They were cool until they started swinging and almost hitting me in the head and the windshield. LOL

I just checked his website, but I couldn't find that specific decal. What order info do I need to get that?

[Embassy]

I believe I ordered decal part # MMM1+ from his website. It is the decal for the mirrors. Or, I had them custom made to fit. He will make them in any size.

Hi -

Could you post a picture of this?

I was thinking of installing the ScanGauge or my V1 in place of the compass.

Thanks,

Mark

[fastblackmerc]

If you don't want to tackle this I can do it for you. Will even include the extra cable needed.

Here's mine. The flag was already on the car. I had the decal made at a sign shop. Matches the indentations in the bumper.

Thanks - That's very nice of you to offer!


Has anyone mounted a V1 in place of the compass?


I got a replacement console and I've started cutting - It looks like the V1 will fit nicely.

[Marauderjack]

If you do replace the compass, may I have it if you are just going to chunk it??:confused:
