Very nice, Mike! How long did you stare at the car before commiting to the job? Lol

Joe that is perfect! Kinda cuts the wannabes off at the kneecaps. :2thumbs:

Mike your car looks great!

Thanks again everyone! Believe it or not it was an idea I considered doing for quite awhile before actually taking to step of doing so. I had them professionally installed to mitigate the risk of my own foul up...didn't cost that much to have installed and the emblems aren't cheap, I'm afraid.

Some better pics attached

Amazing fall that we're having here in Michigan. I took what I'm presuming will be the last great opportunity to get out and take some pics of the SSP with the new permanent marked Missouri State Highway Patrol emblems. Lucky for me I live behind a nice secluded park that provides a good opportunity to take photos. Promised above to post some better pics when I had them so here it goes. Enjoy and thanks again for all the nice comments above.

Xmas "gift" from the MSHP

Having permanently marked my 93 MSHP SSP, I decided to write the MSHP Superintendent (Col.) requesting an updated permission letter. The original permission letter I obtained from the MSHP didn't give me ease of avoiding issues driving the car in Missouri even if the emblems were covered.

Figured it was a good time to ask for an updated letter since the MSHP has a new Superintendent (one who provied prior letter recently retired). Also my SSP received good press being featured in the MSHP Patrol News for being reunited with assigned Tooper (now Lt.).

An unexpected gift arrived in the mail on Xmas Eve. The MSHP Superintendent returned a new permission letter. This one is a little different from prior one in that it extend permission to me for as long as I own the car. Only requirement is the vehicle is used for appropriate display purposes and that the emblems be covered or removed when operated on public roadways. No problems covering them up so I am all set now.

Being from Missouri I can expect to have this SSP back there from time to time and I will feel much more relaxed knowing I have this letter with me. I appreciate having the support from the agency my SSP served. Those of us who own former MSHP SSP's are fortunate in that way as the MSHP is very supportive.

That's very cool Mike!

Congrats Mike!!!:2thumbs:
