I'm a 69 year old geezer whose been modding this car over the last year to look more like Lt Frank Bullitt's.

Agent 47 mirrors, Retro USA bumpers, louvres and now FRPP 17" wheel with the centers painted "Cast Blast" which looks like unfinished casting like the old torque thrusts. The tires are 255/50 17s to lend a beefier sidewall old school look. Bullitt center caps finish them.

Chad McQueen signed this car during a chance meeting at a gas station in Palm Desert CA. He was filling his old man's black '58 Speedster......SUPER nice guy. Very real and very much a car guy.

I vote for a chin spoiler.

^I love a good chin spoiler as much as the next guy (and usually more), but Lt. Frank didn't have one, so I don't know if it would be the best fit for this project.

I'm not really feeling the fake chrome bumpers or the light colored strip around the tail lights, but otherwise I love what you've done with the wheels, rear window louvers, and rearview mirrors
