Bullitt’s Exterior

On the outside, the 2008 Bullitt Mustang features a Dark Highland Green exterior paint job, resembling the Mustang GT in the Bullitt movie. Those looking for something a bit different can also choose an all black exterior. To match the Bullitt movie Mustang, the 2008 Bullitt does not feature an exterior badges, scoops and spoilers. The only visible identification is the word "Bullitt" dropped into a gun-sight graphic in the center of the faux gas cap on the decklid.

The Bullitt sports cast-aluminum Euroflange wheels complete with P235/50ZR 18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDWS tires. These are the tires used at Ford Racing High Performance Driving School at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.

Bullitt’s Interior

On the inside, the 2008 Bullitt Mustang features Charcoal Black leather and Satin metallic trim. The air vents and gauges are surrounded by Satin aluminum bezels, and the pedals feature aluminum covers. In addition, a satin aluminum shift ball that replaces the standard leather-wrapped shifter on the Mustang GT. In all, the only identifying marks visible inside Bullitt are the logo and gun-sight graphic mounted in the center of the leather-wrapped steering wheel and the word "Bullitt" embossed into the metal sill plates.
