Had some work done to the Bullitt

That is truly amazing, but sadly I am instantly drawn to the eyesore that are the headlight splitters. Looking great!!

Thanks. I have one more piece to add that I really think finishes up the look with the splitters. I think with it on it balances it out. We'll see I guess, but here is a quick paint chop I did to see what it looks like. I think it's great!

the spoiler splitter would look great but he's right about the head light splitters. I have shit all over my car but when I did the head light splitters even I was like "that doesn't look good" so I took them off after a day. to each their own though, your car looks good either way.

Very nice, overall tastfully done. I like both rims but def dig the second set.

Love the new wheels! Specs please????? And moar pics!

And I don't think the headlight splitters are bad at all, but you need to either tint above them as well as below them, or remove the tint altogether. Otherwise, this car is sick!

Well, the weather has not been all that stellar lately, so I am waiting to take better pics when the sun is out. But here are a couple more. The car is basically lowered 1.5" front and back. Wheels are 20 x 10 and 20 x 10.5 with Michelin PSS 275/35 and 295/35 respectively.

I will say this, I don't think I like them without the tint on them. I think the car looks better with a bare headlight (no tint or splitter) than it does with the splitter (no tint). I may tint the top, but I think I would prefer to go no splitter before I do that. I actually like the look. If I could get it even darker, I would black the bottom right out. I think it makes the car look meaner and more like the headlights of the 2010 and up cars.

Might just as well bring this picture over here too....

Damn that car is hawt. I wish I could test fit that hood on my car to see if it clears.

Well, you could take a drive up to NY.... or I could meet you somewhere.

OOOOORRRR..... I could setup my GoPro and some lights under the hood to see how much space I have under their. My stock hood cleared my Roush blower, but the the underlining of the hood did rub on the Roush strut tower brace a little. There is no rubbing with this hood and I am pretty sure there is a good amount of space in there.

Let me know if you want me to proceed with said project.

 

[GallopingFord]

I will let you know. Right now the engine fits under my stock hood without the blanket, but I am going to try and install the blanket and see if it fits. I don't think the 2.3L TVS is much bigger than the stock eaton so maybe I'll take you up on the offer. If not I can try and drop the K-member with billet mount brackets.

I think your car just became one of my favorites on the forum.

You get that Gt500 splitter on and that will def be one of top looking S197's ever.. even with the headlight splitters (although I still say junk 'em)

LOL.... thanks man. That tail shot reminds me of more I have to do.

I'm working on it bro. It's sitting in my garage waiting to be trimmed.

Cam,

Just wanted to be clear, where are you concerned about the hood clearing? On the blower body, or up toward the snout as it approaches the heat extractors?

Just an up front, there is a ton of clearance in there. Took some vids tonight. Real caveman stuff using some Christmas lights, but you can see there is good clearance. Let's put it this way, I took the GoPro out of the case and set it on top of the blower and it wasn't even close. The GoPro protrudes about 1/2" or more above the strut tower brace. Even as it goes down toward the air intake tube (which is the stock Roush that goes all the way around the passenger side and then down across the front of the blower), there has to be at least 1 - 2" there.

 

[Surfstang2020]

Looks great man

 

[GallopingFord]

The smallest amount of clearance would be the actual blower body and the width of the blower being fitted between the extractor vents and then where the throttle body is placed on the intake elbow.

thanks for the info though!

Got a shot at some good weather... last day of this week, so I grabbed some sun shots. Trying to follow instructions on here about taking pictgures because I usually suck.

 

[tigerhonaker]

Very nice ...

I know, right? My old wheels were pretty nice, but these just make the car. This board and the people on it are so awesome for helping me get to this point. Back in the day I wanted to pull the trigger on these wheels, but I compromised based on price and input from a friend. I am so glad I just took my medicine, took a loss on the other wheels and went for what I really wanted. I searched my balls off trying to find this combo and if it would work. Glad it did... with a little persuasion.

Thanks to Jayman at Hypermotive for getting me this setup and all the guys who answered my endless wheel questions.

I got nothing left to say, other than I've never considered stealing a car until I saw this
