I’ve had mine for 5k miles. I’ve added Steeda X pipe (on factory active exhaust) Whipple 3.0 sc supercharger, painted the stripes on. Bought PP1 wheel take offs, she is smooth on these, change to OEM wheels/tires she is all business.
Most people as well as dealers have never seen one. Worth the 100 mile drive.

Is less really more? I'm not sure I'm loving the small rear spoiler.

I hate the rear spoiler and it will be gone in 1 week along with a lot of other things. The car will not be the same in 3 weeks.....more to come

Careful ... when it comes to all things aero, bigger is not necessarily better. The front splitter extension & rear spoiler specs have been quantified by the guys at Ford who did the R&D on the PP2 option. Planting a mo' biggah wing or spoiler on the rear deck lid just cuz it "looks good" could ultimately cost you in terms of 1/4 mile speed/time, OA top speed & MPG. :headbang: Just sayin' ...

I get it. I'm just not thrilled with the looks.

Honestly the way I use the car it is all already over the top. The Brembo's, Magneride, SC2's (soon to be gone), 19x11 rear wheels, etc.

The rear spoiler isn't going anywhere but it is rather "subtle" for an "outrageous" part bins car.

If you want to sell your SC2’s, let me know.

I guess I'm just the "other side of the coin" in that I prefer a more subtle look to my cars. I'm glad the PP2 didn't get stuck w/the red Brembos that the Bullitt has. The color is magnetic (charcoal) so it works (no contrast) w/the wheels. The emblems are color keyed to the wheels ("dark tarnish") for just a bit of contrast to the body & rear panel. And a Bullitt grille (upper & lower) installed w/the chrome strip painted to match the rest of the grille. Then over to Steeda for some basic bits & pieces. And, when available, a Borla exhaust system w/four (4) old school "round angle-cut inter-cooled" tips. Like you, I will dump the SC2 tires ASAP. I will put some miles on it before making up my mind about any additional engine &/or chassis items. That's it ... then just drive it like I stole it!!! :crackup:

It's getting cold around Iowa and I've now noticed the "tick" sound. Are a lot of you guys noticing it? Thanks!

Is there any decent looking wing/spoiler that uses the factory holes? Only thing I've seen is the Anderson Track Pack spoiler.

I am going to see how mine does on the long straight at The Ridge Motorsports Park and the short straight, tight track at Oregon Raceway Park before I make any changes to mine, if any. I am guessing that the dude from NASA knows his aerodynamics, but this is just me.

Greetings. I'd say the only complaint I've got with mine is I dont think these pilot sport cup 2 tires are gonna last long at all. I've got the active exhaust and want the exact same note but just a tad louder, so tempted to go with a hpipe or the resonated mid-pipe.

Outside of that... very pleased with the car.
