Maybe I should see if I can get the Color Codes for the Engine Cover for those wishing to Color Coordinate other under hood Items. Bet it is the same as the 05/06 Bullits.

Ordered from fordparts.com, which I believe is actually just some dealer in Tacoma. Is that correct?
> Also your Paint mentioned is for the text and Relief Area Correct? Not the
> Darker Main Color.
Correct.
And since the metal bushings were too large for the stock bolts, I replaced the metal bushings with washers. I'll probably take your nut/bolt part #'s to the dealer though.

Thanks for that paint code. I have decided I am going to paint my intake tube tomorrow.

Is this the frpp strut tower brace or the one bar shelby brace you are trying to put it under. I am interested to see if it fits under the ford racing two tube brace, not the one tube shelby brace.
#398
Took those step stud/flange nut part #'s to the dealer near my office today.
Dude was like "what are these for? I don't see them in stock anywhere."
<sigh>
Guess I'll keep lookin'.

Good News...Bad News...Good News!
Items installed on GT 'Vert
PICS WILL BE POSTED WHEN I GET HOME FROM WORK...doing a split shift 730pm til 4am. Took photos, just no time to get them on TMS before work.
First the good news... engine cover fits like fingers in a glove and the Shelby Strut Brace (single bar) clears the cover with no problems. They look great togther.
Bad News...the brace will not fit under a stock 05/06 hood. It makes contact with the hood re-inforcement, just to the left and right of the fake hood scoop cut-out (you have to remove the insulation pad to see this).
Good news again...it took me about 45mins to get the brace to fit. I pulled the insulation pad...used some plumbers putty (any type of clay or playdough will work) and placed it on the bar, just above the fuel rails for a length of 6 inches, towards the strut towers. Close hood as able, lift and you will see they clay marks. Add about 1/4 inch all around, out line with marker. I used an air-powered cut-off wheel (standard body shop tool) made the cuts, removed the pieces (about 4 inches long x 2 inches wide) filed and painted the openings, and then closed the hood with no problems! Put the Insulation pad back on and off to work. I had a chance to drive it pretty hard on my way in, and on a bad piece of road, off the highway, it pushed through an area straight and true, (this being where the potholes, sewer covers, bridge grates and chewed up road surface all converge) that usually knocks the car all over. When I head home at 0400, I'll get a chance to really push it through some tight turns, but I can feel the difference right away. NOTE: This is installed on a 'VERT, hardtops may not have same results!
I will check out the insulation pad and report on damages, if any, when I post pic. I expect to see a crease whre the cut-outs are.
As for cutting/fabricating, I spent more time hooking up the compressor, finding my cut-off tool and disc and prepping than actual labor (less than 30mins). If you are not afraid of tools, then you should have no problems doing this yourself. I called the shop I used to work at and they figured about 50.00 for the labor and materials for install.
FYI...last post was at 1700, install of cover and bar, along with fabrication was completed by 1815, off to work at 1840
