We are getting the cowl extension and the front underbody K brace. All that is missing is the strut tower brace. The K brace is mentioned in the Australian brochure.

As for me

1 50th anniversay grill just for the nostalgia ( already shipped although saw the fang GT grill in person last week and now kind of like it )
2 Darkest legal tint
3 H pipe or roush axle back ( heard both the stock and the roush axle back at my dealerships launch night - factory does not sound like what an American muscle car should - way too quiet)
4 roush super charger ( my work is full of European super cars - ferraris and Carrera GT's - while they go round the corner on track day I plan on going sideways hahah my way of standing out from the crowd )
5 suspension - yet to decide



Eagerly awaiting March delivery

EL II XR8, 2015 Mustang GT on the way!
I've got some funds set aside for a bunch of Steeda's suspension mods and front undertray, possible a Bluefish transmission bracket.

Basically I wan't to tighten up everything up and track it a little.

I really want to go a Roush Quad tip exhaust (and valance so it'll fit) but that's looking like a rather expensive option.

Then it'll be a flash tune and see how it goes :)

Just a point of view - log the quad tips but The roush rear valance doesn't look as good as the original

Tint was the first thing I did the next day after I got the car home along with LEDs (map, glove box, and trunk).
Then was Corsa Extreme Catback which is the shit I must add.
The JLT Oil Separator and Redline Tuning Hood Struts to clean up the engine bay a little bit. I have Anchor Room Full Tint Kit still sitting (haven't had time to install it yet). Next On List...I'm going to work on painting coil covers and engine cover to match along with...

1. Lowering Springs (Eibach or Steeda)
2. JLT Painted to match Intake with Tune
3. Rohana Wheels not set on which ones yet but forsure Rohana
4. FRPP Rear Delete Panel
5. OEM or FRPP Strut Tower Brace and Cowl
6. Steeda Rear Bushing Kit
7. Eibach Front and Rear Sway Bars

I saw the TSW Bathurst wheels on a Mondeo today, they were a gunmetal finish.

Nice 10-spoke design. The Silver with mirror cut face is similar to other wheels I'm looking at. I might be able to get a good deal on these when I take delivery.

Mustang Motorsports have fitted them to a Mustang.

I have been doing a fair bit of reading and the general opinion seems to be, as quick duck rightly said, that the cowl extension under the bonnet is also called the K brace and that the unit under the car at the front is called the K member. I am sure that they are probably called other names but the above seems to hold true when the letter "K" is involved.

Barton short shifter is nxt on the list as well some sticky tires... I want a 15" rim out back and a 17" skinny for the front. Something I can take on the street for a day or 2 and have some fun from time to time, or track lol
Definitely do the Barton shifter. Best feeling shifter I've ever had in a car. :headbang:

Awww... c'mon quick duck, you did mention the brace under the bonnet was definitely called the K brace and you know it. So please accept the accolade.

What I had said wasnt this at all. I will clealry explain each one.

The K Brace Ford refers to is the K strut brace that mounts on the firewall.

A 'K' brace is any brace shaped as the letter K. I, and most here apparently, have always known the K Brace used under tha chassis.

The Stut Mount referred to by Ford, also known as the Cowl due to its shape, is the one being branded and sits over the engine, a straight line between each strut.

of course some may not believe me, as I know nothing about cars or the internet, but this info is also freely available on Fords site, I had a link that listed the PP included items, but lost it. I am sure the Pro's can find it again though.

Day 1 I'll start with blacked out badges and plain rear tail light panel.
Then I'll see how it goes :)

Future considerations:
- front lip/splitter
- rear wing
- tints
- lowering (which could lead on to other suspension mods
- bigger wheels (with a nicer style!)
- supercharger (not sure if it will make sense on an auto 'vert)
