Tucker Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 You all know about our Carbon Fiber intake tube to replace the stocker. JLT 2010 Intake tube Well we have them in Blue and Red Carbon Fiber. The blue looks great on Kona Blue as seen here: We also now offer pre painted OEM GT500 strut tower bars. This will only fit with the JLT intake tube and our supplied spacers. We offer them in solid colors for only $139 and we can paint on the stripes for only $25 extra. All bars are new OEM Ford bars for the 2007-09 GT500. We prep and paint them with high quality urathane paints just like your car. Stripes are cleard over as well. If ordering the stripes, be sure to note this is for a 2010 in the comments section as the stripes are different sizes then 07-09 years. (we have all measurments) JLT Pre Painted strut bars And to top off the look under the hood we can dress up the ugly strut tower bolts with a color matched cover. These will fit any 2010 GT500 with or without the strut bar, but if you order our bar we need to modify them to fit. Simply select this in a drop down box when ordering and it's done! JLT Strut tower covers Thank you for looking, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrycp Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Looks awesome, Jay!! Question for you, for 2010/2011, looking at adding the FRPP Handling Pack and from what I understand it is the same kit as the 07 thru 09 but the strut tower brace will not fit due to the intake tube. With the JLT tube it will fit, as you've said. The question is, since it will come with the Handling Pack, could I send you the brace and could you paint it, with stripes? How much? THANKS!!

Make sure when you order the JLT tube that you also get the SPACERS for the strut tower brace. It all works and looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But please note that if you do NOT use the spacers, the brace will touch the tube. If you DO use the spacers, you clear it with no problems. Thanks.

blkGT500nCA Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 1. makes the body more rigid. 2. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 ^^ Yes and yes. Is it needed? No, not really, but it came on all 2007-09 GT500 and when painted with the stripes to match it just looks cool under the hood. Some say Ford made the 2010 body structure stronger and dropped it, but I'm can't confirm that. Seems to me Ford made the car quiter with that huge intake muffler and now the bar doesn't fit.

ItalianStallion Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 So, what was the verdict on the JLT CAI and the FRPP(KR) strut tower brace. Will the JLT CAI fit with the FRPP bar ? IS' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucker Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 The tube on a 2010 is worth about 4-5 RWHP. It's more for looks, being able to use the strut bar and getting the supercharger noise back. We will be testing our new 125mm CAI next week on a 2010 GT500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItalianStallion Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 beating the bottom of the bar or cutting it and welding it. The rear bar hits the tube Jay Thanks for the detail Jay. I have a pic of my engine bay with the FRPP bar in place. I guess the area you reference would hit the CAI inlet tube. How much interference we talking about in terms of how much I have to beat on the bar ? Bummer, always had planned on using your CAI when the time came.

Bummer, always had planned on using your CAI when the time came. IS Anyone ever encountered this JLT CAI and FRPP bar interference ? Sure like the JLT, but hate to beat the crap out of the bar. I've heard that grinding the bar down in the contact area of the CAI tube + some spacers might yield the correct clearance. Anyone have pics of the spacers or have had luck in making this fit ?

Tucker Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have not done it, so I can't say for sure. It's the drivers side rear pointing bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Gorilla Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hey Tucker, I'd like to order the strut tower covers and possibly the painted bar, but I'd like to know if there is an ETA (if at all) on the color-matched battery cover and other covers. If I recall, GAFSoldier had them on his for a short time, but they didn't fit perfrectly well. Are there any plans to modify these so they fit for the 2010s? Edit: I have your black carbon fiber CAI intake tube, and it's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdeweyusmc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Just received my painted bar today and installed it without the spacers and there is plenty of room where nothing is hitting. I already have the Jlt intake tube installed. I have my chrome strut caps installed over the bar and everything looks great. I will try to take some pics tomorrow.
