I've been  toying around  with this idea for a while now and since my SHO is at the body Shop , I decided why not ....

I found this New Police  Interceptor Bumper on Ebay and bought it for an offer of $220.00.

Ebay listing :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ford-Taurus-interceptor-Police-13-14-Front-bumper-Impact-Blue-OEM-/221353781950?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=I7KU7iW9INAXg41tF%252F8yRlu4Q8U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

www.ebay.com/itm/221353781950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

We may have to change out some of the impact stuff  behind the bumper and  MOD it some

I've ordered a lower grill insert from Adamson Industries  as well.

I may end getting an Interceptor Grill and paint it Gloss Black.

Nice find. Are you gonna have the fog lights put back in it? how about the brush hard? ether way it will help your SHO stand out from the rest.
2013 SHO PP, Sparkly Black
bone stock (for now)
Got the windows tinted, 15% all around

NO Brush Guard/Push Bumper , not sure about the Hella DRL's might get something different .

Cause I Can .... The look that I envision will en corporate amber DRL's/Turn Signals  in the recessed front corners of the new bumper , lower center mounted white DRL's  ; a lower grill insert from Adamson Industries and a custom lower front chin spoiler similar to bpd1151.

We may have to change out some of the impact stuff  behind the bumper and  MOD it some.

There may be possible other changes as things go along.



I AM Confident that when finished it WILL Be ...  BAD  A★★  ! !


I sense a certain amount of skepticism from the members here about this MOD , since there have been few comments or replies  .  BUT THAT'S OK .......

I think it will look good/different.  I've been debating the interceptor grill.

Can't wait to see the pics when it's done. 
Current:
2016 F150 2.7L Ecoboost.  Stock for Now
SOLD:
2013 SHO 400A, PP

Just wondering. Sounds like some custom fab work on the bumper housing.  The squad bumpers don't have cutouts at all.  I'd love to see how it turns out as well!

Definitely awaiting results with bated breath!  With all the discussions recently surrounding accessories & lack of space for larger/additional equipment in the area & airflow concerns ...
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Yes   ... Improved air flow will be a definite plus for anything mounted behind the  lower opening.

What that may be though  , I'm not gonna touch with a 10 ft. pole .... L O L !
