Mike - I did the plasti on my emblems too, so I know what you mean. On the caps, I was going to either tape off everything but the gold and spray it, or...color it w/ black paint marker as a last resort. They're so small, I don't really want to spend an hour cutting out tape to piece it around the bow tie before spraying.

 

I'll report back how it goes, when I'm able to do it (maybe not tonight).

What worked best for me when I debadged my 14 was the following: heat gun on low setting, dental floss and an eraser wheel on a power drill. It cleaned it up really nice, but make sure you dont over heat with the heat gun and make sure you dont press to hard in one spot with the eraser wheel, ive hear of people burning the paint/clear coat. I think this is the fastest safest way to get the 3M tape off.

I have completed my Dash Cam install: running a BlueSkysea G1

 

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-HD1080P-G1W-Novatek/dp/B00J2OVN74/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405015602&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=Blueskysea+g1

 

which is relatively cheap and straight forward. I ran the power to the 120 volt plug on the dash and tucked the power wire up under the headliner, behind the pillar post and under the dash for a nice clean look. The camera powers on with the ignition and turns off when I shut the motor down, so I couldn't ask for more. Cheap insurance if a jerk pulls out in front of me or other mishaps as they occur.

I have the same one lol, works great and good quality. Haven't had time to run the wire through the pillar and headliner so I just have it hanging on there lol. Can you show me which wires you Wired it into on the ignition.

Really didn't wire into existing wiring, but used an adapter that most of us have for charging our cell phones. The ones that you plug the USB into and then plug into the wall... I used this one from my Kindle because the USB plugs into the bottom of the adapter. I zip tied the wire under the dash, ran it over to the driver side and up the A pillar.

Corwest, as soon as I can. Honestly, I haven't had a chance with family members visiting and not driving at night. I haven't forgotten you, buddy.

What camera are you using for your dash cam block8head?

 

I agree that the guy in the Grand Am was not paying attention but your dash cam shows how they don't have the cross street lights properly masked. On a nasty rainy or snowy night a lesser being could make a fatal mistake!

    • I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff". 
    • Yep mine is on backorder also.
    • The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.
    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
