Guard 2016 GT ordered 3/5
Hey!

So I've put 300 miles on the 2016 base GT so far and was checking out the engine bay when I noticed two threaded rods sticking out of my front right strut tower with no bolts on them!! Are there supposed to be bolts on those or is this how it comes? It's the ones in the top left corner. I've attached a photo of what it looks like.

Thanks,
Jon

Those studs are where you bolt on the strut tower brace

They are used if you have the supporting cowl fitted...

My V6 has those studs with no nuts as well. So one would assume that if you buy the STB it comes with the nuts.

The base GT does not even come with K brace?

All non-PP GTs come with no K-brace unless somebody got them with 20 inch optional wheels. Or at least used to.
This. My car came with the 20" foundry wheels so I have the full brace.

The full brace? Because they all come with half the brace.

That's the strut tower brace. Not the k brace.
