I can get on board with the digital items. A few lines of code from a ford tech would have made the car feel a lot more special. The three stripe pony on the custom mode should be a bullitt emblem.

Concerning the custom sync, when I first got the car I could have sworn that I was able to select a green background for sync. After a mandatory update, I can no longer find that green background.

Concerning the tires, I understand any greed you have, but the black is clean (they could have done a lot worse)

Concerning the decklid emblem, it should be a complete delete or a bit more... realish.

Concerning the guts... I cane from an 05 focus so I dont have a lot of complaints on my end outside if the manual adjuster for seat tilt (it's like they forgot to hook servos up to an expensive seat).

ENGINE COVER.... OR AT LEAST SIDE COVERS.
There sure is no great feeling of pride when you pop open the hood to show off that incredible Coyote. That fantastic engine deserves more love.

Yeah. I understand they wanted to show off the 350 intake,but a bit of dress up would have been worthy of the car.

Except even with the 350 intake, there ain't much to see. Just more black plastic.

As someone who wants to own one, I have to say the one thing they aren't cheap about is the price! Trying to get them to go one penny below their "invoice" is impossible, even when they have plenty sitting on the lot. As far as the features go, the prop rod is really cheap. Plus, here's what else I think is missing considering the Bullitt is 50k!

1. Rain sensing wipers
2. Forward collision warning
3. 360 camera

I don't expect these things from a 30k vehicle, but I certainly do on one that is 50k.

As minor as the stitching issue seems, I must agree with you. It really doesn't make the green stitching as a design element seem cohesive.

Not to mention the truly shit quality of the vinyl on the handbrake lever and the boot. It's just embarrassingly bad.
I changed out both the e-brake and shifter boots! Alcantara with Green stitching!!! Amazing!! Waiting now for my cup holder console cover! Will install 4 more horns...aka Train Horn, Ofer the winter!!! And yes a Tremec would have been nice!!!

:explode:
Naw... you should have went for 15k off
:wink:

I checked mine on Edmund's after the purchase. I was around 2k under what they should have asked...

You can find fully loaded ones in southeast Texas right now for mid-low 40s... there might be some water damage though... just saying.

I agree about the road noise. One reason I added Dynamat to the trunk area.
The stock reverse pull up collar on the shifter feels cheap. Upgrading something people put hands on every time they drive the car would have been smart. I put a Barton on mine.
Shifter mounting/feel. It wouldn't have cost a fortune to make that better. I changed that up as well.
The hood release lever is a joke. Replaced that.
The paint. Sorry, but my Honda is painted better.

I still love the heck out of this car, but there's always room to improve.

If they offered me that, I would have one by now! The most I was offered was 3k off MSRP.
Sounds like you need to become a transplant. Many of yer brethren have come to our open arms!
