After owning the 2001 Bullitt for more than a year and realizing it is really a great car (just like I thought), I've decided to revamp the interior. The interior is basically stock now except for some gauge rings and a couple Autometer gauges and a roll bar.
I think the interior could use a little more contrast (specifically beefing up the silver accents with real aluminum), could be much quieter, and have a look and feel a little more like a modern car, but perhaps not necessarily a modern Mustang. It was built a long time ago, and of course Ford tried to save money on the design and finish of the car. So there's room for improvement here, but with an eye toward staying true to the Bullitt theme.
Here's where I'm starting:
 |
| The Bullitt interior has a lot going for it; I'm going to try to build on that. |
Some examples of more modern design for inspiration:
 |
2011 Shelby GT500: Leather, Alcantara, and deviated stitching.
Floor mats are darker with logo and silver binding. |
 |
| 2005 Ford GT: Aluminum accents and a honking fat steering wheel. |
 |
| 911 GT3 RS: Alcantara and leather throughout with dash gauge pod. |
 |
| 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: Leather, Alcantara, and dash gauge pod. |
I'll update the blog as I make progress...
