Default Bullitt

Ford designed the exhaust on the Bullitt to sound like the old 390 system. It's your car, do what you want, but if I had a Bullitt all I would do is wash & wax it. That's just me...

Even the original movie Bullitt Mustang had a set of aftermarket wheels installed on it. Best mod on a s-197 Bullitt I've seen is a Saleen hood installed.

Thanks for that....obviously you get it....that is the goal with Karen's Bullitt...The outrageous stuff is on the 05....There are only two additional appearance mods planned for the Bullitt as of now...the mirrors, which will probably be Agent 47 color matched, and the MRT Bullitt hood.....One of the folks here was kind enough to do this photochop for me of the hood.....me likey.....




Thanks....

Should look great! MRT's bullitt hood could easily be my favorite hood on the S197. The functional heat extraction and turn signals in the vents are just cool.

+1000 on the JBA's. Love the sound. Its very authoritative and sounds the way the car should IMO. Exhaust is not a big deal and it can easily be reversed. Just keep all your parts. Now if you went for a wild paint job, Id say hold on Brother. I dont think they are going to be as big of a collector item as many might think, but again thats just MY OPINION. And if it does become, how much will it go up. Enjoy it now, and if you want to make an investment, there are alot smarter ways to invest your money.

I also remember when I promised I wont mod my GT when I bought it. It took me 2 days to break that promise with JBA's.
