PP Strut Tower Brace kit + Cowl Extension + Lower K Brace Install Guide

[Mustangpursuit]

I have a 2019 GT California Special.

It rides decently up front for stock vs base GT.

I just confirmed that aside from the Strut Tower Brace that they advertise in the trim package,

As I checked over my car, I also got the Metal Cowl Brace, GT PP Lower K Brace, and Insulator, even the GT/CS only comes with 19" wheels.

Also I get the PP lower bumper with extended chin spoiler as well.

How exactly do the wipers go back on? Do I just press them on by hand or use a rubber mallet to get it lower on the bolt?

NVM - got them on. Just press on and tighten the bolt. Had to readjust position a couple times - should have taken a pic of the wiper position before removing.

Great write-up for the install - thanks for putting it together. I don't know how anyone installs the cowl brace without removing both wipers. I tried with just the passenger wiper removed but there was no way I could slide the brace under the firewall lip on the left side - no prob once I removed the driver wiper. Also, my torque wrench wouldn't fit under the cowl to tighten the far left bolt, so I just hand tightened. Everything after the cowl install is cake. It's gonna be harder to check oil now since the strut brace blocks the dipstick.

Oh yea - I dropped a cowl clip behind the front fender - any idea how to get it out? Does removing the fender cover in the wheel well allow access behind the fender?

Hard to overstate how much the combination of all four of these bracing parts does. Any non-PP car should be doing this ASAP. You'll have a more responsive front-end, and a better and more controlled ride.

I still have all of these parts listed in the OP brand new for sale. Getting a 2019 Mustang GT w/ PP so don’t need anymore. Please pm me if anyone is interested.

I have a base car. No doubt on a must for a base car if you are seeking a better handling car.

Glad the 2019 GT/CS has all these bracing goodies already even it is a non-pp.

I just bought the cowl extension panel due to the overwhelming positive feedback on it. Looking forward to installing it.
I decided not to bother with the PP lower k-brace because folks I've talked to say it doesn't do anything noticeable. Still may add later, undecided.

IMO the most useful aspect of the PP lower K brace is it makes accessing the oil filter much easier. You just have to remove one bolt and the small flap drops down, whereas on base models you have to remove the entire cover plastic cover and loosen some other bolts as well so that the cover can slide out. After one oil change I was really hoping there was a better option, and thanks to this forum I found it.

Very true.

Agreed. Oil changes are much, much easier.
