I found this:
FR3Z-2K005-B
The vehicle options this part fits:

• Fit Note: High Series Police Brakes, North American Markets, Premium Turbo Brakes, R - Package, With High Series Brakes, With Performance Brakes, With Performance Pack, With Traction Pack II

Any chance it'll work?

The dust shields are on national back order since 6 weeks or so. I couldn't wait that long so posted in the FB group and a guy had spares laying around. I ended up paying $25 instead of $7 per pair.

Same. I've been asking in most of the s550 groups I am in if anyone had any spares. Its frustrating. I wondering if the splash shields that came on the car will do instead

I got one side the 004. Waiting on the 5. My friend said that the 15-17 come with a small shield anyways. Running without it for a while won’t hurt. Dealer says they’re coming back in stock may 28th

Yeah frustrating. It's almost a month half and still they're not available, not a surprise due to the current situation. It looks like only one of them, i.e. the 5 is on back order. I tried to see if the stock ones would work but the rotors are much bigger than the shield and i was worried they might come in contact and also cooling issues. I've seen few people saying they'll work though.

Gah. So far away Lol Does that mean that dealer is getting them or they should be available nationally that day?

Yeah there is a size difference but if you look at the ford performance kit, the shield it comes with only protects the ball joins. Leaving the rest of it exposed. So surely the non-pp shields will suffice until the correct ones come back in stock

So I ordered the Carlson banjo bolts because my stoptech lines came with the wrong banjo. Does this look right? Worried it might leak for some reason.

the reason you think it doesnt look right is because the smaller end of the stoptech line does not completely cover the crush washers like the stock line would have. that being said, i think it should be fine.

I suggest contacting parts farm or Midway mustang. They may be willing to part it from their brake kits

There's many aftermarket rotors options to choose from.

The brake line should be fine. It does amaze me how those little crush washers keep the brake fluid from coming out. lol
