I have been trying to find the brake cooling kit on their site and can't find it. I want to get it ordered and here before the car arrives. It's going to be one of the things that goes on right away. I'm still trying to decide on the LS gauge pod versus the Aeorforce gauge. Would be nice to know a price on that LS gauge pod.

Here's the FR500C version (super expensive because of the carbon fiber inlets that won't fit the BOSS): http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=9066

And here's the Quantum Motorsports kit that I have on my 06 that I'm going to transfer over...make sure to tell them you have the Brembo brakes if you order this one. http://store.quantummotorsports.com/...products_id=17

Note: I'm ASSUMING the spindle mounting points for the flow plates have not changed for the '11 and '12 model years.

Okay, FRPP, you gave us the gauge pack, splitter, and brake duct kit- give us the rear seat delete and cross bar and I will buy a Boss since I (so far) can't bring myself to stomach the LS paint (though I want one for the performance so bad I'm having heart palpitations).

It's listed in the 2011 FRPP catalog (see screen shot in my previous post). No prices in the catalog though.

I did get some prices from my dealer. The LS gauge pod retails for $1,100 (ouch) and the brake cooling kit for $250 (not too bad). There's no ETA on the gauge pod and the brake cooling kit is after April 1st.

For $1100, I'd MUCH rather spend my money on a Traqmate data acquisition system, or be halfway to a full AiM MXL digital dash w/ datalogger & GPS

I find that hard to believe that the pod is $1100. I wonder if they pulled it up as a service part, not an FRPP part (there is a difference).

Yeah. Not to mention I have some brake hoses in the attic from the Roush sale.

Rite. I might just get another Aeroforce Interceptor gauge and A/C pod housing for under $300. I already have a GPS lap timer so don't need that function from the LS gauge pod anyway.

Amen.

I prefer to have OEM (or OEM Quality) parts, but sometimes the price just doesn't work.

Brake kit $250 = cool! Gauges $1100 = whoa!

Yep, I was thinking it would be <$500. $1,100 is way too much. Unless I can get the dealer to throw if in for cost.....

The pics are now available in hi-res. The good news is the gauge font does match the Boss when the full kit is ordered.
