i like the way they looked on the bullet stangs a few years back and i wasnt sure if it was even possable since the body line runs right through the fuel door

just thought i would ask


thanks guys

I dont think it is of great popularity because of the fake gas cap on the back trunk.
If someone has done this, I would love to see it. I think it might be too much. JMO!

Mike, I think you are referring to the "Bullitt" SE Mustang that came out in 2001. But I have to agree with Rene on this one. You want the real gas gap to blend in and be less noticeable since there is a faux gas cap like the older Mustangs on the rear of the car. Unless of course you plan on taking your faux gas cap off, I don't recommend it. It will definitely be too busy.

I've never been a fan of it but agree, it wouldn't make sense since the faux one is already on the back.

OK, I'll dissent. I want one too. When I find it I plan on painting it body color to help it blend in. But I like the look of the bullitt w/ the fake allen screw attachments, etc.

I agree they look good on some models, but I wouldn't want one on my car. Part of what I love about the side view is how sleek they car looks (especially compared to previous model years) and I think the billet door would take away from that.

File under: Would be cool,

Would be really cool to plumb the gas tank to the rear and put a REAL old school billet mustang gas cap there. I have no idea what that would entail, but guessing far too much to make it worth it.

EDIT: forgot to add, ofcourse you would have the apropriate body work dont to remove the old gas cap area thingy and all.
