When they were first offered as an option for '06 GTsmost people wanted them. I guess the honeymoon's over.

Bullitts fit the style perfect where the fanblades are for a modern styled car which the new Mustang is not modern style but 60's. Sure it's a new car and the most modern but the style is not and in my opinion the fan blades are an afterthought that just doesn't fit, just looks very odd to me...

The bullitts blend right in where the fan blades draw your attention to them thinking "what the hell..."

I get compliments on the fanblades all the time and really like them. I agree with the comment about the rims with a little bit of lip look best. I am looking into getting a set of black 20's with the chrome lips.

Thats what is so cool about the GT it can be retro or mod with the flip of a rim.

Love my blades....doesn't look every other Stang. I did consider the 18" Bullitts but felt they showed to much of the brakes/rotors.

I have the fanblades and have to say I don't see them too often. For that reason, I like them. But...my dad just bought an 07 GT, Torch Red like mine and he has the polished 18" bullits. I think I like the polished bullits better. Fits the personality of the car a little better. Yet, I'm not going to drop cash on wheels right now. Go before show.

I had the Fanblades on my first stang for two days and then my car shorted out(electrical system). I asked for a whole new stang and got it, came with the 18" Polished Bullitts and I said take them off and put the other ones back on. They said no problem and I had my fanblades!

I purchased DD bullitts anyway so it really didn't matter but I just sold the blades only for that reason and not because I didn't like them which I did very much.
