Can anyone see anything not correct on this Bullitt? Not correct as in not stock . . . . This is a good test of your Mustang knowledge!

Wheels look silver instead of gray? Exhaust tips are supposed to be rolled too I thought?

Edit: Duh, you have magnaflows.

wheels
I have been scratching my head on this clunk I have been hearing when I have the wheel complete turned since i bought my Bullitt last month . . . . . .today I FINALLY figured it out with a guy from a tire shop! I have S197 wheels on my Bullitt without the proper spacers! This also lead to a rub marks on my suspension arms (see pictures). I am going to buy a set of spacers today from New Take Off . . . . . . Some one in another thread said these come untorqued quick . . . . . . .Are spacers the only fix? Other than buying new wheels?

Why not obtain a set of proper Bullitt rims (or replica) with correct offset instead of spacers?

Should I get 17 by 9 s or 17 by 8 s . . . . I am leaning towards 17 by 8 s . . . I am trying to get this car back to stock handling and fit . . . . I am thinking about the black bullitts from from Ford Racing ($180 at tirerack).

17x8s are OEM size. You just need to decide if you want FRPP, some used OEMS, or aftermarket.

One of the first things I noticed about the first bullitt I ever saw was the red calipers.

I mentioned that way before you ever did. Besides, he was talking about his wheels.
