Declasse Merit | Lore Friendly Police Car | Non-ELS FiveM

This FiveM lore friendly police car drops a fully modular, non-ELS 1996 Declasse Merit Police Interceptor onto your roleplay server with 200+ tuning options ready for instant department deployment. Hand-modified from the vanilla Merit by Dayashii (with contributions from WiseGuy, Tidemo & JunkyWRX), the model carries that unmistakable mid-90s American cruiser silhouette while every visible detail — lightbar, antenna array, console, cage, trunk loadout — sits on a switchable extra. It is the kind of vehicle a department actually builds out of: one chassis, dozens of valid configurations, zero ELS bloat.

🚓 A FiveM Lore Friendly Police Car Built for Department RP

Nothing here is a generic emergency vehicle re-skin. The Merit ships as a scratch-tuned vanilla edit that slots cleanly into the rest of the ONX EVP and Gabz fleet — same lightbars, same antennas, same consoles, same cages and tags — so departments stay visually consistent across patrol, supervisor, SWAT, K9, and unmarked units. The result is a server where every cruiser feels like it came from the same motor pool instead of five different developers. With 50+ interior loadouts, 16 unit tags, three jurisdictions of liveries, and a 5-digit colorable callsign system layered on top, your LSPD, LSSD, and SAHP fleets can hit a level of department-specific roleplay immersion that off-the-shelf packs rarely reach.

🔌 Compatibility, Setup & Terms

The Merit is a standalone drag-and-drop add-on resource that plays nicely with common frameworks — QBCore, ESX, and Qbox setups all work without special integration. Place the files inside an [onx_vehicles] folder in your server's resources directory, add ensure [onx_vehicles] to your server.cfg, and use your existing customization menu to configure lightbars, liveries, ALPR, cages, consoles, antennas, trunks, and tags in game. Add the VMT_LIGHTBAR category (introduced in build 3095) to your customization menu to expose the custom ALPR and lightbar options.

• Game build: 3095 required for some features (notably the custom ALPR/lightbar category)

• Subscription: Not required — optional

• Support: Yes — included via the ONX Development Team

• License: For use on licensed subscriber servers only with assets granted in your Cfx keymaster portal

• Restrictions: No reuploading, resale, or rebranding of assets other than liveries/textures; no redistribution outside your subscribed server(s)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a non-ELS police pack for FiveM or does it require an ELS dependency?

A: It is fully non-ELS with synced lighting patterns built in, so there is no client-side ELS requirement and no duplicate model spam on your server. That keeps things lightweight and avoids the install headaches that ELS-based packs create for some communities.

Q: Which department liveries are included out of the box?

A: LSPD, LSSD, and SAHP liveries ship with the vehicle, covering city, county, and state jurisdictions. Livery templates and install guides are included so you can rebrand or expand into your own custom departments without starting from scratch.

Q: Do I need a custom menu script to access the 200+ tuning options?

A: No. Every option is wired through native modkit categories and labeled extras, so your existing customization menu picks them up automatically. Just make sure to add the VMT_LIGHTBAR category (build 3095) so the custom ALPR and lightbar options appear in-menu.

Q: Will the Merit visually match other ONX or Gabz emergency vehicles on my server?

A: Yes. The universal parts library — lightbars, antennas, consoles, cages, and tags — is shared across the ONX EVP fleet and aligned to match Gabz models too, so departments stay visually consistent across every patrol unit. Liveries also align with the ONX EUP Clothing Pack for matching officer uniforms.

Q: What is the install footprint?

A: The Merit chassis itself is roughly 6MB across the hi-detail, standard, and texture files, plus 107 vehicle-specific yft mod parts under 0.5MB. The shared universal mod parts library adds 35.21MB across 227 yft parts and is reused by every other ONX vehicle on your server.

🏁 The Bottom Line

If you have been hunting for a FiveM lore friendly police car that gives your departments real visual depth without bloating your server, the 1996 Declasse Merit is the build to grab. One chassis covers LEO, EMS, DOC, Federal, Unmarked, and Decommissioned roles, while 16 unit tags and 50+ interior loadouts turn a single model into a multi-pack's worth of presence. Drop it in [onx_vehicles], ensure it once, and your fleet upgrades to something players notice immediately.
