Chrome Strut Tower Brace for 94 Cobra?

[InMyPrimeSVT]

Does anyone know of a chrome strut tower brace that fits a 94 Cobra?

pretty much any of them. just about every aftermarket STB goes in front of the intake rather than overtop of it so it isn't a problem.

I've seen them before. MAC, BBK and a few others I remember did make them. They were chromoly and like $150. I bought a black one then painted to the color of my car. I had the polish theme going too but I couldn't justify the double cost for it.

Thanks! That's a nice looking engine. Where did you find those polished strut tower pieces?

Chrome paint and take your time.

Those aren't chrome. They are Steeda caster / camber plates in zinc I believe. Since those were 3-bolt I moved to 4-bolt J&M's in black.

Like Kurt said, just paint it like I did. The chromoly one is way overpriced.

I'm thinking that may be a good idea. The only thing is, my Cobra is white with blue racing stripes. So I don't know if I should paint it white or blue. I don't want it to look like rice, that's for sure. And since I have a decent amount of polished parts, I thought I would keep it polished. Thoughts?

Chrome gets dirty too fast. If you end up painting it, always use the engine enamel paint. It's only like a dollar more, and it covers much smoother than the regular spray paint.

I have the BBK chrome one- I think I paid around $110 several years ago.

That's a great looking engine! Where did you get that battery cover?

I got it from Wieland Custom Machine off EBay a few years ago, I don't see the Mustang ones anymore though. You'll have to remove the factory box and bolt it directly to the inner fender well. I used a thin piece of plexy glass painted body color to place under Mustang's to cover up the battery decals.
