How could he ruin the hood like that? Stick on wood grain?

Despite the arguments of "personal taste" and whatnot,

there really is a tangible level of unacceptable modification. This car falls under that.

If you wanted a panther to customize with a hot engine, buy a Marquis and build the engine, or in other words, IMPROVE the car. Don't buy a nice car and put crap stickers on it, or in other words, DEVALUE the car.

One Saturday of woody removal and she would be very close to great shape (hopefully that hood scoop is stuck on too). Much easier to get her back than the lime green, or red ostrich interior or any of the other abortions that we've seen floating around.

If that was the case, he wouldn't have received the items because the minimum requirement of 10,000 pieces wouldn't have been met. ;)


(hopefully that hood scoop is stuck on too).

According to the ad.....
I added a new Cougar XR-7 G hood scoop(not tape installed, much too heavy...it is bolted as was required on the Cougars)

So there you go, a bolted on hideous hood scoop to complete the package.

I should be the last one to throw rocks at this one...........


but I will!

The only thing this needs is landau bars (lighted of course) and a padded half vinyl roof.

Your car was spotted around long island and a bunch of guys were posting on Facebook about it. (Unless there is a another Marauder running around with human head sized skull exhaust tips. ;))

Yeah, the security guard @ the Stop&Shop in Miller Place pulled up next to me while I was waiting for Mary to get out of the store. He was very enthusiastic about the car and asked if he could take some pictures so he could post them on Facebook.
He said "You're gonna be famous on the internet!"
Mary came out while all of this was going on just shaking her head!

I didnt see the pictures, a kid named Chris who has a Marauder has a mutual friend of mine. They were talking about Chris's Marauder when one said, "Hey you ever see that one with the giant skull exhaust tips?" The other kid said "Yeah Chris should get a set of those!" Ill be trolling for your pics on Facebook though.

I spent some time last night on cardomain looking at MMs. This one is mild compared to what I saw. Pretty sad.
This guy brags, "the hood scoop is bolted on just like it was on the Cougar". Uggh!

I have one of those hideous spoilers (was on the car when I bought it), but I don't trust anyone to remove it and fix the deck lick correctly (if it can even be repaired because those holes go straight through the supports on the underside) :bigcry:

I'll replace it with a cop light bar before I run around with rubber plugs "sealing" my car from the elements.

If I had the money, I'd buy it....and the money to 'uncustomize' it as well.

Only 22K....it'd be worth it to own a DTR with low mileage, even with all the smack that flies around here about DTRs....

I want to know where to get the hood scoop. I think if I installed that on my DTR, it would be easier to draw in Camaro's, Vette's, Chargers etc... and take their money.

But really, it looks out of place on that car as it is, maybe if it was on fire.:confused:

That's funny.

I like DTRs but this one is fugley.
Can you believe he screwed up a good hood?
Why didn't the guy just buy a Marque interior and switch it?
I think it would have look a lot better

The only redeeming value is the dead petal.

To much money and that hood scoop is horrible. I could live with the wood grain stuff but I'd be at the junkyard the next day looking for a replacement hood.
