Finally finished painting my calipers. Went with a Grabber Blue "Brembo" sticker to match the car...

Thanks! :beer:

I noticed you are going just as fast and a better 60' with 100 less HP .
How do you do that?
Sal ...

Just my opinion and we both know what opinions are worth.

The right combination is what I think.

My Bullitt is real heavy and has everything still working that came on it from Ford.

Who knows what the new set-up will do.

Here are two (2) time slips from the same day at the NMRA World Finals in Bowling Green, KY.

..... Car # 12053 ...

2nd time slip shows slower 60' time but High MPH pass.

I've applied 3M Carbon Fiber look vinyl to the center column, center stack, door window switch plates (gotta redo the left one :( ) and to the headlamp switch panel. I like the way it looks!

You are definitely getting the job done....which is why I am interested in your opinion. :thumb:
My car is full weight plus I have a huge intercooler tank in the trunk. I weigh about 4030 pounds w/driver. Not far off from where you are. Yet you are going just as fast with way less power. I don't get it. I'm 60' at 1.5 and MPH at 134 to 136 and ET 10.2. You would think the auto car with 100 more HP would be significantly faster....but no. WTF?

He was paying me back. While testing coils on an '87 Fiero, he was sitting in the trunk over the engine while I was in the passenger compartment ready to turn the ignition and I watched an MSD coil energize him. Zap-zap-zap. I laughed so hard...

To this day he won't hold any wire I ask him to... smart boy!

Did that to myself on buddy's 66 stang, he had a hotwire switch under the hood we were chasing running issues I'm checking individual wires and then bumping see if it'll start, well about #6 I got lazy and didnt take my hand off wire.. yah, that was a bad one YOWZA's

Just finished installing some painted MMD mirrors. The factory mirrors look like junk compared to these. Absolutely one of my favorite mods so far...

I never liked those mirrors until today, I have no idea why but I looked around and Google image searched all over. I think they look bad ass now and want a set for my Bullitt. How's the paint?

I hear ya, I was also hesitant for the longest time, but then I just said screw it and ordered them. I love them. The big ugly stockers just didn't flow right with the car.

The paint match is spot on, no complaints there. I did notice some faint water spots though, but it is easily fixed with some elbow grease and polish. I'm 100% satisfied with the purchase. I will probably throw some better pics up sometime this weekend on the pic whore thread.

These would fit right in on the bullitt!

Nice, I think you've sold me... those stock 05-09 mirrors look like ass and I've tried to install the painted mirror caps twice and the fitment was horrid.

Yeah, my wife complained and told me why I didn't just buy the mirror caps since they were cheaper. Meh... not a fan of the tacked/glued on parts. Plus the mirror caps don't help the fact that the stockers are just absurdly huge.
