It's just for looks, but on the NASCAR Car of Tomorrow (COT), I think they are there to prevent deflection in the air splitter when the down force is strong.

It does looks a little silly on the Mustang.

BTW, that car itself looks pimp.

Another question is, What's the deal with the hood pins??? I still don't get that.

That's a "Galpinized" 'Stang (Galpin Auto Service). One of those cars was at the LA Auto Show.

I believe that the front spoiler is a CDC aggressive, finished off with those struts. The car looks much better in person.

there is a front chin piece, it's made from a rubber type amterial, then there is another piece under it, and then finally the "struts" you are asking about. all they do (from what the Galpin guy I know said) is keep the rubber chin piece from flexing and paint peeling.

haha I think the guys at G.A.S are too busy doing that gay pimp'my'ride show or should I say "Take my trashy ride and make it into something so flashy and unusable that it will be stolen and never driven again" show. haha

I emailed em lets see if they get back to me, wouldnt that be sweet if xibit showed up at my door with some struts?
