I know the PP comes with the strut tower brace but what about the steel cowl extension? I popped the hood on mine earlier and didn't see it.... did I just miss it or did it not come with the package?

My GT convertible doesn’t have PP, and it has the strut tower/ cowl brace.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that is actually called the cowl brace... and a k-brace goes under the car (K-member).
That makes more sense.

Yes, mine did.

After some research, I've come to this conclusion:
In the mustang PP Pkg. description above, the "K-shaped front strut brace" is referring to the steel cowl extension, guess it has 2 names. A "K-Member" is as mentioned by SofaKing is underneath and is part of the front suspension.

On the Ford build your own the description in the PP just says "K Brace". Deceptive and not

Although, whipple kinda makes it sound like it’s both. ‘24 install manual, pg. 13 #26 & 27 (strut tower brace - both indicated in the image), pg. 54 #147 (k-brace - just the extension)

I saw that in the description, while the description for the Ecoboost HPP makes no mention of the k-brace... though I do have the cowl brace... Not sure if ford is calling it by two different names (FP calls it cowl brace or cowl c-brace) or if the GT PP actually does get a k-member brace.

My GT convertible doesn’t have PP, and it has the strut tower/ cowl brace.
The Convertible comes stock with a 3-Piecs Cowl & Strut Tower Brace.
I added a 3-Piece Cowl & Strut Tower Brace that came off a Damaged 2024 GT Mustang Convertible.
All 3-Pieces are Heavy Steel.

That makes more sense.
There are Videos of the K-Brace under the Frame.
I don’t remember if it was on a GT, & or a Ecoboost or both?
I believe there are 4-Bolts holding the K-Brace on.
More knowledgeable Information would be appreciated.
