How much is the install cost on something like this?

Install is very easy, just disconect the battery and switch the wheels there are a ton of videos on youtube on how to do it. Only took me about an hour to do

I don’t have a problem. I can quit any time, I just Carbon Fiber on the weekends.

you need a carbon fiber strut tower brace

I have the CF tower brace. It didn't even get in the way when I swapped my spark plugs the other day.

Do you have that same one? Trying to see how I can order it. Seems it fits with a TVS blower underneath it (I have engine mounts installed that lowers the engine already for clearance).

Got a link on that? How does the structural rigidity compare to the stock GT or 350 unit?

Another option if you don't want to do the CF STB like the others said, get your current one hydrodipped. Another part to add would be the radiator cover extensions, hydrodipped too.

Nice! I’m happy with my GT350R STB

I’m not into the hydro dipped stuff, I prefer real CF. Thanks for the suggestion though.

This one is 2 kilos lighter than the Ford piece and because of the mounting plates it is more rigid. We use it in the 24h Nürburgring racecar and it works great.

This is the link to the online shop, if interested, I can provide a quote if you PM me your shipping address.

PM'ed

This is really interesting. PM sent to @N/Angel and thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I do have a questions about this type of STB though...

When stressed will the CF STB crack or break? True structural CF components will have to go through an autoclave
curing process which will great strengthen the component but also adds a LOT more cost to the manufacture of the
part (Yes, even more than what these decorative parts cost).

That was my only hesitation in buying a structural CF piece in the past as I do a lot of road course track days which
really puts my car through the ringer.

Does anyone who has a CF STB AND who does a lot of hard driving experienced any issues with this type of part?

Thanks in advance.
