EL SHELBY Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 How about a strut brace like the one available for the Super Snake that will work with the OEM hood on both the GT500 & SGT? I would be happy with a plain anodized version that I could paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 We did some measuring last Thursday to get some specs together strut tower braces. We did a lot of R&D for future Focus, V6, 5.0, and GT500 parts. The 2011+ is a TIGHT fit, but we're still investigating the possibilities.

ShelbyEra08 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I kinda like the SS brace, because its flat on the top, so you can add a decal to it or what not, really thinking of getting the SS Brace once I get the SS hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4833 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Jer: Since there was no mention of ow TIGHT the fit would be on a '12, can I assume my '12 SS is just going to have to do without this very cool item? That space between the KB 3.6 and hood is kind of narrow. I am so bummed. This is one of the coolest add-ons there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits perfectly without rubbing the hood or the SC, however, you will have to make adjustments near the CAI intake. While it fits fine with a baffle delete, it will rub the OEM intake... The OEM STB brace is tubular, so the flat SS design would give you a little more room to work with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyEra08 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I was thinking about this 5 mins ago, if you make a SS like brace for the regular GT500, instead of SuperSnake in the middle how about a Shelby logo in the middle or possibly a CS Signature in the middle? I would definitely get one with a CS signature in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtzja Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Jer -- I'd be interested in one of these too -- maybe with the GT500 Logo or the Snake Logo. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTchris Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Jer, I am interested in the SS flat strut tower brace that would fit the SC SGT w/whipple. I live 15 minutes away from the guy who makes them for you and I could be available if he needs to use my car for test measurements.

CSX4833 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 This issue has been brought up many times and we all wish it would work but there just isnt' enough clearance especially with a KB 3.6. Too much engine, not enough hood. Too bad though as they are really cool looking. Cest La Vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
