Had some work done to the Bullitt

[tigerhonaker]

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.



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.



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.

I think I will answer with a PM.
Sometimes S-197 is not the best place to answer some things in open Post.

I'm not Terry but I'll throw in my two cents here. If you really want to get to the 500hp mark the easiest is to get the VMP TVS1900 blower upgrade. You can simply swap head units and retain your M90 intake manifold, intercooler and everything else. I was one of the first to make the upgrade and ran it at 505hp for about 4 months before swapping in my forged engine. If you want more details I'd be more than happy to share my experiences with you, or you can contact Justin directly at www.VMPTuning.com.

Couple last shots of the old look before the new look goes into play. Hoping to get it sorted in the next couple weeks. I think some will be pleased.

It gets better than that?!?! (Other than removing headlight splitters)

[Aandf1978]

Only thing that could make it better would be to remove the headlight splitters. Looks great though!!

Got around to testing my idea.....

Finally

 

[GallopingFord]

What did you do? Tint the part of the headlight below the splitter?

To each his own.

Yup. Trying it out. I think it looks pretty good, but I have to see how I feel about it over time before I make and decisions one way or another. Truth be told, they are double tinted and I did a pretty piss poor job of it, so I have to take them off anyway. I just wanted to see how it looks before I go taking the splitters off. If I decide to keep them I will just find a tint shop to put the darkest tint they have on them.

This also allows me to have some of the headlight exposed so I can be "legal" (pulled over less). LOL

More to come this week.

 

[GallopingFord]

You're getting pulled over for your DOT approved headlights? Lol

 

[TRC51]

Yeeeeess...... when they are completely tinted. Yes.

 

[GallopingFord]

Ah, I read that wrong, I was thinking you were saying you were getting pulled over for the stock intensity of the headlight. Lol

I do it all the time. LOL

Teaser... but a couple more things to do before I post up pics.

 

[TRC51]

Whooops... can't help myself.... almost there.
