Mmeehhhhh...IDK man, are you sure that's not a regular GT350 strut brace?? (:giggle:)

I'm thinking the 350 has a circle 5 hole bolt pattern, that fits down and over the towers.

When the first reviews of the non-R GT350s were published, they had steel braces like the GTs. Never read if that was due to a shortage of parts for press cars or they switched to the same brace as the R soon after. I know they have been the same since almost the start.

All painted with OEM DIB base coat/Clear coat. Raced as you see it without issues in the Optima USCA series and lots of other events.

Has anyone seen these rails painted the body color and the raised letters painted with the stripe color?

Not me but looks likes a deserving piece to me, even Ford Oval blue White lettering, like the Ford racing logo will work.

Go for it. But have it polished first since your car isn't crinkle Wimbledon.

What do you mean “crinkle”?
Sorry. The car has smooth glossy Wimbledon. So part would match better if it was smooth and glossy Wimbledon. Crinkle was a term for a uniformly rough surface. I think it comes from a type of paint with that name that dried like that even applied to a smooth surface.

Wrinkle paint, sort of like spray in bed liner.

Are those Alum or plastic parts ?
