Default Aftermarket Intake...

I have a 95 Mustang GT with Ford Racing Valve Cover, Trickflow Exhaust, and a 1" Intake Spacer between the upper and lower intake for clearance of the valve covers. Anyone know of a strut tower brace that will fit my car? I know the stock one will not.

Its $140 for the powdercoated black and like $240 (something like that) for the tripple plated chrome. I thought that they would be alot more expensive than that. I would get it for $140.

Does it attach to the stock mounting holes?

What about this one from BBK?

It does look like the same thing. Only difference is the BBK is enclosed on the firewall mounting points. Think that will make any difference? The BBK one is $100 cheaper...
