So I know a few of you may frown upon this and I can think of a thousand reasons why but it was done purely just to play a joke on a close friend and my brother, the lights have been returned...

So anyways I think the Maxima would make a pretty hot police cruiser if I do say so myself! Anyone agree?

A friend of mine said there's a dark/metalic slate one that slinks around Honolulu. You're apparently not the only one who's thought so.

I have friends who are cops, I have seen them in Unmarked Honda's Infiniti's and a 6th gen Maxima. They use the cars drug dealers forfiet. I'm sure a 7th Gen Maxima is unmarked someplace

My Town has an unmarked Maxima police car!!! But its nothing special..I have the same lights in my whip lol.

I was afraid to keep them, figured I would end up getting myself into trouble as I live in Virginia and essentially everything here is a big "no no"

I just thought it looked great, I never see anything around her other than the typical crown vic, charger and challenger.

I had them on pass a few cops..they broke necks lol..but I turned them off immediately and drove quick. You are right..those damn lights are so dangerous to have!

Unmarked cars are hard to spot, they dress in plain clothes have tinted windows and try to fit in. Sneakers, baseball hats, sunglasses


I had seen the G37X around town and never knew is was an unmarked cop car

I've seen it all down here in Miami, from 7gen Maxima's to Bmw's...... I even seen a Sonata light up like a Xmas tree, crazy!

Yea Miami pretty much anything new they confiscate from a drug dealer etc. Saw a Escalade truck once, Altima the 1st popular 3rd gen. And theres this maroon magnum thats been creeping around North Miami for years.

Heck, there's a Lincoln towncar here that's an unmarked car. Now when I see a Mini or a Smart for 2 show up as a cop car, I'm going to laugh uncontrollably.

Yuup in S.Cal various agencies have used/use Maximas and other unsuspecting cars undercover, I remember this since the 3rd gen and every gen since. They are mostly cars obtained from illegal behavior.

In the county where I live, cars taken in drug busts are often revamped and made part of the sheriff's fleet.

The minivans and Mini-Coopers and Beetles and meeker vehicles are marked very conspicuously, and often used by officers that go around to schools and preach safety.

But there are at least three virtually unmarked hopped-up Mustangs in our local fleet. One of them is usually on duty near wherever the sheriff's helicopter is patrolling, and can be wherever needed in a quick minute.

The most unusual unmarked police vehicle I ever encountered was back in 1987. I was driving my '85 Maxima, easing north on US 77 on that desolate 75 mile stretch south of Kingsville TX, on my way from Matamoros Mexico to Chapel Hill NC. Yes, I was moving at a speed the mods will not allow to be posted here, but there wasn't so much as a cow within ten miles.

I crested a slight rise, and sitting on the side of the road was a 1953 Chevy 210 sedan. Not the upscale Bel Air, but the base 210. I had owned a '53 Chevy 210 in the 1950s while living in Tombstone AZ. It had one large red bubble on top, just like the car Sheriff Andy Griffith drove in his earliest shows. But when it pulled out as I went by, I knew immediately he wasn't rolling with the engine I had in my '53, so I meekly pulled over and smiled a lot.

I had done a lot of coast-to-coast driving in the 1950s, before construction began on the interstate system, so had collected my share of speeding tickets. But that ticket in the southern tip of Texas 26 years ago was my last. It isn't that I don't sometimes speed, but I watch for radar very carefully, and slow down if I am where a car with radar could easily lurk. But I have also been very lucky. Plus, my wife is virtually always with me, and NASCAR is definitely not her favorite sport.

My dad was a cop with undercover cars from 1980 until he retired. He had his share of crown vics and some awful dogs including a dodge diplomat with a smog restricted 318 cubic inch (i bet a 10 speed could have outrun him) but the best and fastest car was his chevy nova with a 350 4 barrel. He had a chase one time while i was in the car and nailed the gas doing about 25mph. The rear tires broke lose and the engine howled like it been beat with a bat. That thing absolutely hauled @ss.
