Ok,
It's about time I asked. What exactly does Billet mean? I've thought it meant a certain style or that there was a Billet Mustang at one point that the Billet style is suppose to emulate. Then I see multiple mods labled as Billet, and I don't actually know if they are or not. Is there something that makes something billet versus something that isn't? It just isn't clear to me. Sorry for the n00b question.

Billet and Bullitt are two different things.
Bullitt was a special edition Mustang in 2001 and Billet is as described above, and can be used to describe many different modifications (such as e-brake handles, misc. *****, caps, covers, etc.)

It means that the finished piece has been machined from a solid block of the source material, which is refered to as a billet.

Except that now the marketing groups of aftermarket manufacturers have jumped on the term to mean anything that has that look to it. Improper usage, but it sells stuff.

Yep, that is the correct definition. Get a stronger part due to the processing step when the metal is compressed into that billet.

Dark Highland Green was the color that Ford used on the 2001 Ford Mustang "Bullitt" SE.
