S550 GT Radiator Bars

[Tash Oh]

If I remember correctly they are hood latch supports. Not sure why the pp has them only. I removed mine. Hit me up on pm if you want to buy them.

Pm sent.

What was the difficulty to remove them? Pop front bumper off and some bolts? I'd be interested in powdercoating them red if it's an easy thing. Thanks

For anyone who has installed these support braces, could you please share the part number for the four bolts that screw into the upper tie bar? I can't seem to find what bolts Ford used.

I painted mine but heres some pics

The bolts I used were just 3/8 x 3/4L nothing special. The bars above are not the same, those seem to have a bend?

Has anyone figured out what they actually DO ?

Its just more support for the radiator frame (and they look cool)
{only my opinion}

Honestly, I’m installing them mainly for the lock—it’ll look sick in red behind the my open grille. They’re expected to arrive this week.
By the way, do you remember the torque spec for the impact bar? I’ll need to loosen them 4 bolts to install the bars and then reinstall them, so I want to make sure I use the correct OEM torque specs.

I didn't remove anything to install mine (on V6 car) so I don't know what you mean....

Didn’t ya remove the four bolts showing on below picture?

No sir, it was not necessary. I'll try to get a picture of my car under the upper cover over the radiator.
