Imagine... a Mercury Marauder pulling you over!

PS - notice... they are STILL using Mustangs too... there's a red unmarked unit behind and left of the Merc!

The other day on the road I saw a car almost like that. Except it wasn't quite a Marauder. It had what looked like the normal Grand Marquis alloys, and the bumpers were off of a GM as well. The badging said Grand Marquis, but all of the trim was blacked out like a Marauder. It had lights behind the grill just like those cars. It also had big chrome exhaust tips and CA EXEMPT plates confirming it was the govt of some sort.

I'd buy a Grand Marquis in Marauder guise

Well, I am not a big Mustang expert but I can say that what is in that pic. is not a GT or GT wheel. It is either a Roush or a Cobra. The wheel in that pic. is mostly blocked by the trooper's leg but you can see enough of it to tell that it isn't the stanard GT 5-spoke wheels. I don't know if its Cobra wheels or not they have had so many 5-spoke wheel designs in the past I can't tell them apart.

Also notice the high profile rear spoiler, it looks more like a Roush or Cobra style spoiler.
I don't see or can't really tell from the pic if the Mustang has a body kit, Roush cars have body kits so I am leaning more towards Cobra now.
