New mods on the Bullitt and cleaned it up!!

stprorolla49 · Sep 23, 2010

I haven't really updated everyone on some mods I've recently done because I've been so busy starting a new job and whatnot. Here's a list of the things I've recently added:

-MM c/c plates
-MM front coilovers w/ 250lb springs
-Bilstein HD shocks and struts
-JLT RAI
-17x9 Bullitts in the front to match the 10.5's I got a few months ago
-Autometer gauges in SOS pod
-LEDS for cluster and Autometers (8500k "Cool White" in the pics is too blue for me so I ordered 6000k "Natural White")

The stance is right where I want it now with the coilovers in the front and the stock Bullitt springs cut 1 coil in the rear. The car rides awesome with the Bilsteins, and I got 250lb springs because the car is my DD and I drive 35 miles a day so I wanted it to be somewhat comfortable. I am going to the Englishtown swap meet this weekend in search of some RLCA's and some 3:73's. I found the JLT on Craigslist for $60 so I couldn't pass that up. I sprayed it with some Duplicolor metallic green paint that is almost a perfect match, I just couldn't bring myself to spend $35 shipped for a spray can of DHG. It looks awesome, you can barely tell the difference.

I also did a complete correction and detail on the car 2 weeks ago for the American Muscle show so there's a few pics from then. I also washed up the car today on my day off and took a few pics with my Rebel XSi and Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens for those who care. Enjoy!!

Looks sharp!

That car looks amazing. Subtle changes to a great looking car is the way to go! Cobra sideskirts and the led's behind those bullitt gauges look great IMO.

Thanks man! Actually those aren't Cobra side skirts, they are the Bullitt-specific pieces. Notice the sharper angle downward and under rather than the Cobra's more curved design, and the mudflaps molded into the side skirt behind the front wheel. Regardless, the Bullitt's design is so much cleaner than a GT's and that's one of the reasons why I love it so much!

wow, that is a great looking car.

One question, where did you get the LED's from for the gauge cluster and autometer gauges from?

Hmm I wonder what the price difference is in those and the 03-04 cobras is.. If those are cheaper than those will be the way I go eventually because they do look much better than the stockers. Im not sold on the front mudflaps but I could live with em if they looked like that

Good luck...you'd be hard pressed to find a set intact for a reasonable price. Honestly I think you'd have a better chance finding the cobra skirts. Plus the front mud flaps will tend to scrape/tear off if you hit a pothole or low area in the road. Otherwise I love how they look, def unique.

Sikk looking bull stprorolla!

I got the LEDs for both from autolumination.com. They are a little too blue for me, I ordered whiter ones so if you are interested in these, PM me. They are 2 days old.

You will definitely have a tough time finding Bullitt side skirts ESPECIALLY the mudflaps. I've seen people selling just the front mudflap piece that is trashed for $175!! People will buy them and repair them because Ford doesn't make them anymore. I think they look sick, but they scrape on everything. It is by far the lowest part of the car, probably only 1.5"-2" off the ground.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Holy crap, man. That looks awesome. I've got a buddy here at school with a Bullitt JUST like that (EXTREMELY clean, lowered a good bit, DD rear 10.5 Bullitt wheels, etc, etc.) except his is True Blue. Because I've seen his car, I know that these pictures do not do justice to just how good your car looks in person.

Got mine in my car from superbrightleds.com. Pics of mine: Some Pictures of my Car, Along with Some Recent Minor Mods Been working fine for couple of months now. Whatever you do, DON'T buy the cheap ones from Ebay. They do not last. I got less than 2 weeks out of the set I bought. Waste of $15.

No, no, no

Definitely go Cobra skirts of Bullitt. I mean c'mon, molded mud flaps on a Mustang? MUDFLAPS ON A MUSTANG? They look horrible IMO.

Hey man to each their own, right? The mudflaps are part of what make the Bullitt a Bullitt. If I had my choice and I was modding a GT, I would get the Cobra skirts, but the Bullitt ones have really grown on me.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

RedDaemon · Sep 24, 2010

this thread makes me depressed:

1. for not being able to detail my car in a very long time
2. not owning a bullitt myself

excellent job

Nope, just a little vignetting in Adobe Lightroom.
