A fellow Bullitt owner (I have an '01) took some photos at the Indiana SAAC event this weekend. He did a few shots that show side-by-side of his '01 Bullitt to the 2015. Take a look here for the album.

In terms of sleekness of the side profile the S550 does admirably against the SN95. Though this picture here gives a better idea of how much larger Mustangs have gotten in relation. Still looks great!

Unless the light hits it right for Ingot, I'm going for Magentic. Silver isn't bad looking but it has to be in perfect light for me to go "ooohhhh nice"....

Fantastic shot, TN. Love with the headlamp LEDs lit :headbang:
Yah in that pic, it looks awesome..the pics above..not so much.

Also above pic #202 is there that much of a gap in the front of the hood and front fascia?

God I Hope Not. I HATE that Fully Painted Rear Bumper/Diffuser and Those Black Wheels. Put the two together and it Looks Like S#*! In My Opinion. It's amazing how two small things like that totally Ruin such a Gorgeous Car.

The fully painted diffusor is just a one piece bumper molded to look like a diffusor, while the premium Mustangs get an actual 2-piece/or 3-piece diffusor. It's cheaper to just spray the whole bumper. :thumbdown:

The gloss black is terrible. It makes it so half the time, you can't even make out the actual wheel design; it's just a black hole. If they were more of a satin charcoal like in the banner pic at the top of this page, they'd look so much better, however it seems for some unfathomable reason, Ford has eliminated that option and hasn't been showing them.

ps the silver looks awesome. Definitely my top choice if I had to order today.

Agree... charcoal does the job of hiding brake dust (functional purpose of black wheels) while still giving enough contrast to not look like a set of steelies or winter wheels. Hate that these come standard with the PP.

Agreed. If the wheels looked like the ones in the forum banner, I'd be ecstatic. The more I see the black wheels in videos and such, the less I like them. They just make the wheels disappear. Might as well have 16" wheels on there... you'd certainly be hard pressed to tell the difference from a distance.

My point being, the visual benefits of 19" wheels are lost if you can't see them very well! I prefer a bit more contrast between the wheels and tires.

I try to convince myself I'd be okay with black seats (only option we're getting for a while in Europe) ... and then folks post stuff like this above... :'(

Black stays clean. Everything else sooner or later scuffs and gets dirty and fades.

Go with black.

No Glass Roof... "To Start"

No Sunroof... "To Start"

Those two statements Clearly Say that There IS a Glass Roof/ Opening Sunroof coming.

I also thought it was really cool when he said, "When you lock the doors with the fob, your console lid and glovebox also lock"

That's a pretty cool security feature I've never heard of on any other car.
Yah I wish they'd let us know if the glass roof is coming on the 2015s. I'd wait to get that but I definitely want the 2015 because it's a 50 year model.

I doubt we'll see a Glass Roof till 2016.
