Hi guys,

Can someone tell me whether or not our GT's arrive with the OEM strut tower brace or do we have to buy one separately? I thought the OEM strut tower brace came as part of the performance package but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

No Strut Tower Brace, as is does not meet the 'European Safety Standards' for Pedestrian impact, which our Mustang is based on.

If a Pedestrian hits / lands on your Hood / Bonnet, under the 'European Safety Standards', the Hood / Bonnet must be able to deflect a certain amount, to protect the Pedestrian.

With the Strut Tower Brace, it stops the Hood / Bonnect deflecting down.

They must've watched all of the cars and coffee/mustang crowd videos on YouTube.
