ORIGINAL: JAYS06SILVERGT

Blue Oval industries makes them in chrome or black and they work with the Plenum Covers.I have not installed one yet, but this is the one i intend to go with.

Blue oval industries is a good company to buy from. I recieved mine from them in a few days.

I noticed a slight difference in the way the car handles, but not a whole lot.

Anybody know if any of these braces fit over the Pony Emblem Engine Cover on the 07 models?

If you had one on your car for awhile and then took it off, you will feel the difference. I think it's worth it, even if it's a little difference. Having the LFP sway bar kit, i need something to help on the front. It's helps with tower flexing.

Strut tower bracewas use on the older mustang to keep the horsepower from bending the frame less cars from bending. Just think about how hard do you drive. I have 06 mustang GT. The older mustang 67 I have had, hada 390 cu in. engine with real power. It would lift the front wheels off the road. The left side of the car would raise or bend the body. Iput on a front machine lot of time to bend it back. But today cars are still new. That is not happen to me today, and I do drive hard.

The S197 chassis is plenty stiff and its unneeded unless you are building a road course car.

I have one. I like the way it looks under the hood. I don't think it is a necessary mod.
