I have a satin silver with the bullitt grille (Sig needs updating), and it looks awesome. As far as bullitts are concerned, they look nice, but as far as putting money toward looking like one, I wouldn't. Bullitt wheels are overdone in my opinion, and I think in order to be authentic it needs the spoiler delete. Otherwise, its a mustang with bullitt wheels and a GT500 spoiler. JMO.

Good point, but I might be getting the wheels real cheap.

Getting things cheap is also a very good selling point. A lot of this mustang stuff can get pricey (especially body kits and wheels). If you like it and it's cheap then do it! Just don't be surprised when you drive down the street and see every other mustang with bullitt wheels. I think they look good, but they are too common for me to put money towards (even if they are cheap). Good luck on your decision. If you are like me, it can take awhile to finally decide on something!

If you are going to go this far...go all the way and change your "LL" to "CK"...

hehe...........people can connect to that!

A good cost effective option for the GT500 rear spoiler is through The Spoiler Store on ebay. Read a ton of positive feedback about these units and you can't beat the price at $107 delivered that includes pre-paint to match your car.

Thanks for the input.

I am looking for something that is a little different but low key.

I will have to keep the thinking cap on for a while longer.

I'm with you on that one! I just recently got a steal on some 18" black bullit wheels on craigslist, a nice upgrade from the stock 17s Ive been looking at the past couple of years. That minor change has really rekindle'd my admiration for the appearance of my car, so I say start with something small, you may be happy with just a couple of little changes. Oh yeah, you won't ever have a run-of-the-mill s197 with that whine coming from under your hood!

PS: heard you put on the 10 lb pulley....TRACK
