What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Yes or no to The strut bar? I'm not sure I am feeling putting it back on. And yes, it fits with the engine lowered.

No strut bar.

Strut Bar

But I would paint it black.

:cheers:

The strut bar is functional, so yes.

Yes on the strut bar.

Another vote for yes, due to function.

Yes for function , No for looks . Check out after market strut bars to see if there are any that would compliment your engine bay. Maybe black tubular?

Maybe something like this SR Performance that AM sells without the center plate ?

If color is all you're worried about, why not paint it?

I'm not worried about the color. Just not sure if I like the look of it. I have the k-brace, so it's function is minimal if any.

If you notice no functional change, I say lose it.

Powdercoat it satin black. It'll blend right in after that.

Looks like it doesn't belong on top of that purty intake :cheers:

This is where I am at with it. I will probably paint it, then if it sticks out like a sore thumb, then I will loose it. I have a love hate relationship with this brace since installing the Boss mani.

Personally, the Boss manifold looks weird to me without it. It has a purpose indentation on top of it for the bar. If there's no bar, there's just this weird cutout where it looks like something is missing.
