Had some work done to the Bullitt

[TRC51]

...... BTW... anyone care to comment on whether or not I should try and paint the vents flat black, or leave them as they are?

 

[GallopingFord]

Leave em.

 

[SoCalGT]

They dont overly bother me, but my default is always blacked out

First time I have been able to take the car out due to the rain.... took some quick shots with the phone again while out to dinner. I will get better, cleaned up, pictures of the car when I am done playing around with it. I have show I want to go to mid-August, so I need to get going.

Anyway... here you go. Let me know if you want ones that are different in some way.

Thanks! You will like the hood if you go for it. It really is a nice piece... just like I said, though, understand that the bottom is not CF, but painted gloss black. I really need to take more/better pictures.

Thanks, Terry! Appreciate it coming from another Bullitt owner.


Thanks for all the other positive comments as well. The more I look at this car, the more it start to feel like the one I need to hold on to it forever (which is at least a couple more years in my time line).

Now let's hope my few smaller mods don't take it in the wrong direction. LOL We will know within the next week or so I guess.

Obviously I am biased, but I say remove the headlight splitters, add a chin splitter & silver horse racing honeycomb lower center grille and Agent 47 racing mirrors with the cup paint matched. Sit back and drool even more.

LOL.... seems we are pretty close in our thinking. You got some of that correct.

The headlight splitters have an end goal in mind. If it doesn't work out, I will probably pull them and tint the lights. If it does work out, it should be pretty cool... and not something I have seen before. Which would be a first for me. LOL

The honeycomb center grill is back and forth... I need a front plate, so I am going to get one of those "hole-less" plate mounts. The problem is that it may not work/line up right with the silver horse center grill. Believe it or not, I think I actually like the whole cooler look down there for some reason.... and I seem to like the look of the stock mirrors too.

There is one mod I am pretty sure most are not going to like... but I like the look. Gives the back end a little more.... depth (and it's not a spoiler, but it does stick on).

im definitely interested to see what you have in mind with your car. for now, im going to leave my hood stock. ive seen so many issues come up with fiberglass, and carbon fiber hoods. its something i want to do, but id hate to open up a can of worms, because i can get pretty particular. now, if my hood starts corroding like a lot of these cars do then ill be actively looking into a hood.

Some shots to update this thread. A couple I posted elsewhere here, but one new one to add... cause... why not.

Thanks for sharing the pics above ^^^

It looks pretty darn Bad-Ass to me !!!

OP that looks awesome. I would have kept gone with bullitt wheels but that is just me. You have good taste.

 

[SOHC46]

Op, what is your suspension setup? Tire size?

 

[05Sleeper]

I love it,nice bullitt

 

[LAStang1234]

Looks good! I don't really like the headlight splitters, but overall car is nasty!

Thanks. I love the look of bullitts, but just too played out. Although, the color of the stock bullitt wheels is exactly what I would want. The right wheels for this car are hard to accomplish... especially when trying to preserve the look of a Bullitt while still making it my own.

Op, what is your suspension setup? Tire size?

Front 19 x 9.5 w/+42 - 255/40/19 Conti DW
Rear 19 x 10.5 w/+45 - 285/35/19 Conti DW

Sitting on FR3 suspension package FRPP spings (1.5" front and back...pretty much K-springs) with Koni adjustables No spacers, no rub. BMR adjustable PHB.

I love it,nice bullitt

Thanks!

Thanks, LAStang. Splitters are a point of contention for most. I have a mod planned for them they I have not gotten to yet, but I want to try that before I remove them. Hoping to get it done over the winter along with the splitter on want to put on the front bumper.

Thanks, Terry! Always good to hear your feedback. As I get closer to being completed on the outside, I start to think about motor stuff. I would really like to get into the 500 wheel HP mark with the car, but I know I cannot get there with the M90 and the stock block. Breenspeed's power up kit for the M90 has been on my mind to start me that way... but why waste $ on that kit, only to probably sell it later anyway? But... do I really want to build the stock block, or just do a Coyote swap? What the cheapest way to get to a safe 500 wheel power?

You don't have to answer that... these are just the thoughts going through my head.
