I didn't like how they decontented the foglights for the Bullitt. They could have at least used the GT500 front fascia with the GT500 foglights. IIRC, the original GT390 had some type of lighting in that location.

The original Bullitt did not have foglights (it had turn signal indicators in the lower fascia, but not foglights), and neither did the 2001 Bullitt.

Any more pics of the interior? Not right now, but it is very nice out today, and I might get a couple more pics. BTW... I love my fox too.

Right and they could have put foglights in place using the GT500 fascia so it could still look similar to the GT390. Following a retro look is one thing, but decontenting useful auxiliary lighting in the name of styling is something else entirely.

It's a bullit, not a GT390.

Alright, I guess I don't understand it then. I've seen the film and like the idea, but getting rid of perfectly good foglights in the name of style is a big thumbs down. Then again I never liked the 2001 Bullitt or any of the 79-04 Fox Stangs either.

The Bullitt doesn't have foglights for the same reason the GT500 has a bunch of power. That's how it's supposed to be. If the Bullitt did have foglights, it wouldn't be a Bullitt.

I have heard about dealer markup on these cars, but like mentioned my dealer does not have markup on any of the four cars they have. I will be buying the car A-plan, plus 1500 incentive.

I agree I wish the car had fog lights, but then again it wouldn't be a bullitt then. The car looks a lot like a base V6, but it sure doesn't run like one!!! I was able to drive one how I wanted, and it runs considerably better than the GT. Plus, since I am leaving it bone stock, I like the intake and exhaust already being of decent quality. This is the best sounding stock car I've ever heard.

You can always add foglights. I know of quite a few bullit owners that put the 03/04 cobra front bumper on their 2001 bullit. Made it unique and look pretty cool at the same time.

I would get the IUP and the premium trim package. That gives you different color seats and door inserts, power passenger seat, heated seats, etc. I have red seats and red inserts in the doors. I love it with my torch red exterior.
