Bezels and Blackout Panel...
Finally turned the attention to the tail end of Karen's Bullitt......
Before...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ut001Large.jpg During...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ut022Large.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ut023Large.jpg And After....... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ut029Large.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ut027Large.jpg Next up, smoked third tail light, SHR Louvers, and A47 color matched mirrors....

The trimming on the tail lights adds a nice touch, as it belongs unlike the black panel of lower portion of the trunk lid. By hiding the sides of the rear emblem it makes it look cheap, no different than Shelby's bright idea of a front grille on top of the stock grille.

Looks good especially since the real bullitt had a blacked out panel between the taillights. :nice:

No, it did not. The red "GT" letters on the gas cap were covered or blacked out as you call it but not the rear panel.

Yeah it wasn't blacked out. It was dulled though, to prevent reflection on the camera.

I like it. As a matter of fact, I think the blacked-out rear panel should be part of the GT apperance(sp) package!:agree:

The car that had the blacked out tailight trim sure looks like the panel is blacked out. The car that did not have the TL trim blacked out looked HLG. I don't want to get in a debate over the two bullitt cars but next time I have my copy out I'll double check. |
I understand. You were offering a compliment as opposed to my comment which might be interpreted as trashing it, which was not. It was an objective opinion. If the black panel had provisions for the rear emblem to be inserted on top of the panel rather than have a cut out for it then I would be in agreement as well.

Again I must say it is nice to see some people mod the bullits.
Here's the back of the original to compare yours against. http://www.buildingeleanor.com/image...litt_chase.jpg |

I did some mods on my '68. I liked the Bullitt theme but did not want to change the original factory design too much. It took me a long time to reach a compromise. The picture below illustrates eight items which were altered yet most people who saw it never noticed or commented on the differences. Attachment 62945 |
Looks good.

I always say a lady with one pierced ear ring looks GREAT! But then a lady with 10 pierced ear rings in the ear doesn't look good ! More isn't always better!
A lot of thought has to go into modifying a Bullitt Mustang. I try to enhance the Bullitt Not change it |

I've already watched all the movie scenes over and over in slo motion and frame. |
