Default Want GT 500 type engine compartment fender brace

I'd like to find a 2008 GT 500 type engine compartment fender brace. I added a Rousch Supercharger to my Mustang and it could benefit from the brace to keep from twisting the front end.

Is there a section to buy & sell Mustang parts? Maybe I haven't found it yet?

it's called a Strut Tower Brace. they're not good for much unless you road course the car.

Thanx for giving me the correct name.

I replaced my C & L CAI and Predator Tuner Setup (For sale), with a Rousch Supercharger on my '08 and I've noticed the front clip twisting under the extra torque. I'd also like to use most of the GT 500 parts like the strut tower brace for resale value.

my car came with the FRPP strut tower brace...and last week I bought a take-off GT500 suspension that has a GT500 STB as part of the package.

i'd sell you the GT500 STB, but after shipping it'd be a deal killer.

good luck with whatever you choose. there is a seller on eBay where you can get the whole setup like I did for about $100

What did you have in mind as a price for the GT 500 STB? Will it fit a 08'? Mustang? Have any interest in a C & L CAI or a Predator tuner for a '08 Mustang? Where do you live?

just visit the link I posted. that seller also does just STB auctions. I already have the stuff you were offering for a trade, and to be honest the STB isn't worth as much as those items.
