08/09 Bullitt had 15hp and 5 lb-ft of torque more than a normal GT. Not huge numbers, but coupled with the 3.73:1 rear axle from the GT500KR, it made for a significantly more responsive car.
2018 Royal Crimson Convertible
A buddy of mine posted this shot from the Pittsburgh Auto Show of a 2018 Convertible in Royal Crimson. Looks nice, but wouldn't be my choice.
It would be interesting to see if they actually used a Mustang, or, if in the same way as the original Rendezvous, they filmed with one car and dubbed over the sound of another. Maybe it was filmed on a Fiesta or Focus, and then dubbed over with Mustang audio.
The original Rendezvous was...
A person on the Ford Build-and-Price chat said that that trim piece on the current Mustangs is more of a satin finish than chrome, and it is intended to match the polished aluminum wheels.
It looks like the Mustang GT Performance Pack has kind of a satin black/black chrome finish for those...
The car was driving next to me, so I couldn't look that closely, but I think so. It looked more like a satin finish than chrome to me, at a glance.

Taking brightwork out of the interior is to cut down on glare on the windshield, just like they did to an extreme on the GT350.
I did finally see an S550 with that roof/pillar chrome/satin trim today, though, and it does look nice. I'd still rather Bullitt not have it, but it does look nice.
They definitely will not use Guard and call it DHG. That'd be really obvious.
It looks like 2001 was actually the first time that the PX paint code (for HG) appeared on modern Fords, so I wonder if it may have been developed for the Bullitt, but then offered on other Fords.
I also see the...
My hope is that's just something in the design drawings, but not something that makes production. A Bullitt doesn't need more shiny bits.
When I detail my 08, I'm always surprised at how few trim bits there are (be it black plastic or satin metal finished).
The grille, cowl and window...
It will ne Dark Highland Green, like the rest...
Fun fact: The color on the 08 Bullitts is slightly different from the 01s. The 01s have "Dark Highland Green" and theb08s have "Highland Green Clearcoat Metallic".
