+1 If i could have the same grill with the GT front i would do it in a second.

 

Drop-dead gorgeous. Newbie poster here; I've been toying with the idea of getting and creating a 6-cyl. Mustang along these lines, sort of a poor man's Bullitt, and since my own design preferences tend to be clean and simple this one just blows me away.

Mind sharing what the FRPP handling package costs? I gather the Pony Package is highly regarded in these parts, but design wise I'd have to rip some things off the PP makes you pay to put on (e.g. on its own merits I like the PP grille but I'd take that out for my "V6 Bullitt."). Go-wise (and $$$-wise) I'd probably be happy for awhile just doing CAI, the tune to kill throttle lag, dual exhaust, and a minimum handling upgrade aimed at most bang for the buck.

Apologies in advance for any cluelessnesss; like I say this is my first time here and I've never owned a Mustang, for shame.

 

Mr.L isyour car fromMorgan Hills?

 

The GT rear I bought from Ninosport.com didn't come with the plastic bracket which holds the bumper to the car - so I had to reuse the one from the V6 bumper and transfer to it onto the GT rear - LX200 posted this same problem not that long ago : https://mustangforums.com/m_4802489/tm.htm

 

The dealership I bought mine at had Tungsten, and I was debating between Alloy and Tungsten, but since my last car was Black, I couldn't turn away from the darker color.

Tungsten is a beautiful color - if you tint all your windows it'll look completely different.

 

Nope, sorry... I'm from the Bay Area, CA

 

The FRPP V6 Handling package is $1200 I believe. I want to go with it because I just like to keep in uniform with the FRPP Dual Kit - but some members would suggest just buying some take-off sways from a GT and going with Eibach springs since their both cheaper, and probably same quality and performance.

If you're planning to get a V6 w/ the Pony Package, but you're going to take out the grill and replace it w/ a Bullitt grill, don't get the Pony Package in the first place - the standard V6's come with the base Silver Horse grill (like mine.)

That's a good plan you have there - but make sure when you get your CAI it's also a MUST to get a tune; use the Search function above, it's your friend. You'll also find that converting to duals has been a very popular trend lately, you'll also find a lot of after-market kits for our V6's, it all depends on your criteria (budget, performance, sound, etc.) Good luck and welcome!

 

yeah, I hear ya on the tint...I just can't get over how those clear bumper lenses make the alloy pop. I've gotten many compliments on my color and never had a problem with it until now lol. Thanks MrL I think you mayve have cost me a grand or two lol. And I'm originally from Modesto...just moved to Bama about a year ago. Where you from?

 

I'm kinda not fond of the GT front bumper, I am planning on doing the GT rear and the GT/CS front bumper with frpp dual exhaust. Mr. L's looks great.

 

I'm from Alameda/Oakland... Modesto isn't that far from here.

I think Clear/Smoked/Blacked/Tinted lenses looks a lot better than the stock orange ones on any S197. Probably the cheapest mod too for 30 bucks on ebay.
