Doh! Yeah - yes I did the rear decklid blackout myself.

And yes the Pony got replaced with the Bullitt "Target" center caps. A subtle upgrade that most wouldnt catch. Again good eye.

I am not sure if the Faux gas cap on the back comes like that stock or if you changed it out....

Looks great Bret. How do the lowering springs and new rubber effect ride quality and handling?
Well as you probably know already thanks to the folks at Ford Racing the Bullitt handles much better than a “stock” Mustang GT to begin with. Additionally Bullitt's probably sits about a half inch (~4mm) lower than a Mustang GT.

So with FRPP (# M-5300-K) springs my Bullitt actually sits about another full inch lower. So my only real complaint is I have to be extra careful going over speed bumps.

Other than that the ride quality is actually about the same as before. In fact on the open highway I really can't tell the difference. On the streets it is a bit firm & tight - but not bone-jarringly so. Just feels much more planted.

However I did notice a significant improvement in a couple areas as far as ride quality goes. Wheel-hop under-load (take-off) seems drastically reduced on uneven or broken roads. Also nose dive (plowing) under heavy braking or on dips in the road is reduced too. So as a daily driver I atually like it better.

Handling IMHO is vastly improved with the FR Springs and the 255 tires. Coupled with the Bullitt’s already upgraded suspension I noticed a reduction in the amount of lean or sway and it feels much flatter (planted) in tight corners. Grip is much better too thanks to the wider tires. All that with the brake upgrades allows me to dive into a corner at a higher speed and a much more enjoyable driving experience.

Nice mods..........NOW WASH IT!:laugh::laugh:
Yeah yeah yeah! I know - funny thing is I just washed it and the grim you see actually came about on the short trip home. City still hasn't seen fit to clean the roads yet after all the rain we had - so we've got lots of dirt & curd still on the roads.

Didn't even notice it until I looked at the picture.
