These are the mods I was going to make on my old 08 before it got wrecked. So this is something I've had planned for a while now.

It doesn't include the shorty antena, painted inter cooler or HIDs. 2 bolt ons and the rest is body work.


Exterior wise the car is pretty much done. Next? MORE BOOST...

I am not real familiar with the Bullitt Mustang, but I will take a stab at it. did you add a chin spoiler and smooth the tail light panel, and did you black-out part of the tail lights?

Looks like a clean car...

Yes to all. The Bullitt is the same as the GT with no spoiler from the factory.

Laurence,

Yes but it counts as one with the faux delete.

I like these questions becuase it proves how my subtle mods are having their visual effect

Hint: There were a few more holes that had to be filled in the trunk because a few things were removed besides the faux.

Really like the blackout additions on the tail end of your ride. The tail light and rear panel, reflects you taking the picture.

Yes to:
-faux delete
-no key hole
-tinted tails
-chin spoiler
-painted mirrors

No to:
-fender badges (it's badgless stock)
-faux gas cap holes in trunk count as one with the faux delete
-front plate off (I wasn't counting that because only 2 bolt ons and 7 body work)
-satelite (I never had it)

Yes to:
-painted mirrors,
-painted between tail lights but count as one with tail light mod
-deleted trunk key hole

No to:
-axleback (stock)
-no fender emblems (no emblems from factory)
-small lift kit (assuming you mean that the rear looks lifted) but good guess.
The turbo kit is what's bringing down the nose a bit with stock springs

New Grill or just the Tri-Bar Pony emblem removed. Lower grill removed. I want to say the anthracite rims, but I'm not sure about those.

None of the above.

Grill and rims are stock. S197 Bullitt has no pony in the grill.

Lower grill is automatically removed with the CDC spoiler.

wow, nice post, this is hard.

- you cut more holes in the bullitt grille.
- black painted brake calipers

other than that I am stumped. The HIDs seem to be missing the little chrome arm that sits in front, but you said this does not include the HIDs....

YES! I had the gill holes dremeled out.

Calipers are untouched and yes the HIDs don't count.

So here's what we have so far:

1) CDC aggressive chin spoiler
2) tinted tail lights including the lines between the blocks
3) deleted key hole
4) deleted faux cap including the hole patch up
5) painted mirrors
6) dremeled out the grill holes
7) ?
8) ?
9) ?

okay, last guess, total shot in the dark, but did you remove the rear defroster on the rear window? Also, just want to make sure, we are not including the license plate holder.

Yes but I wasn't counting that even though I should have. Thanks for the embarrassment

No defroster is still on. This is my daily driver.

Not including the license plate holder.

Gauge pod is interior so I didn't count that.

Shorty antena doesn't count.

Calipers are stock.
