Here are a few new shots. 18% window tint all around. Painted mirrors and front lower fascia/grill. The body shop painted the entire lower grill for some dumb reason. I ordered another ($38) and will spend the time to tape off the "grate" portion of the lower grill-to keep it black. I also have, so far, 3 coats of Zaino applied. Zainos is great. the color gets deeper in every coat.

Your car looks great with the tint, I want to do mine on the rear window only, mostly to keep out the heat.
Love the Bullitts!

You've got the right idea painting the lower grill bars and the mirrors. That'll be mod 1 for me. What'd that cost ya? Looks great

David....I am of the ultra-conservative sorts when it comes to changing cars from stock, and I've got to say that I absolutely love what you've done to the car (paint & tint). This is something that will rank high on my list of minor cosmetic changes to my Torch Red. Again....it looks great, good job.

The painted mirrors look awesome! It's one of the only things I wish Ford would have done differently to it.

Your Car looks great. Do you plan on putting any side stripes or body stripes on?


Maybe painted mirrors will happen in '06MY.

I love the painted mirrors! Ford should have done that from the start. I also would like the mesh in the lower facia to remain black. The tint looks great, too!

$100. The body shop told me it would be 2.5 labor hrs if he took the parts off. I took it all off myself. Easy.

The tint shop did the tint. They're over at Royal Palm Commerce park, off of 441, 2nd light South of Okee. I had Al Packer West do the paint. I'm pretty picky and don't care for the paint job-nothing anyone else would notice, just me. I did go over to Lowe's Friday night. Alot of people kept telling me to part it next to a 69. No parking spots though. I got there at about 7. It's kinda hard being at classic car shows with this car. I just feel it's not a classic. It is very retro and beautiful, but that kindof show is for my 69 and the like. I'll still be there though.

Not sure about stripes yet. I want to wait until I see something that grabs me. just waiting patiently.

Beautiful job on the mustang.I like it but for me I'm going to put the twin lemans stripes with pinline trailers in black on the one I'm picking up ,so I might leave the mirror's alone just for the added contrast of the stripe's.
