Strut Tower Brace Custom Aluminum ID Plates

[MAT1955]

Again profusely sorry if this has been posted by me or another - I used the 7G search engine and did not see it. I have posted this on other forums and received glowing feed back from those who used this American Company - Anchor Room. Scroll down the opening page to "Printed Aluminum Plates" then click on: "Strut Tower Plates" I looked around at the options and chose the 2024 S650 Twin Coyote Howling with S650 badging AND my COYOTE badge in the SAME color (vapor blue) as my Mustang - how cool is that option????? Looks really custom! *****Hint: before removing the cover for the 2 way tape on the plate's backing dry fit the plate to your strut tower. My strut tower (like all of them, I suspect) is slightly curved so I carefully hand bent the plate to fit the strut, checked the fit, then removed the cover tape and applied it. BTW I also pre-wiped the strut with alcohol (no, Jack Daniel's is not required) and then dried the area thoroughly. Super quality product, ordered it via the website, shipped fast and arrived EXACTLY as advertised. Weird thing is, it seems to be the first thing people notice in the engine bay. They ask, did this come with your Mustang? Nope ....Anchor Room.

With engine bay temps reaching 200+, not sure double sided tape will hold that plate long. If it comes off while driving could cause some issues.

If you clean it with isopropyl alcohol then put it on it won't come off. Mine has been on for over 10,000 miles. You'd have to chisel if off

@RLE55.....good question. I know of six friends who have had it on their cars since April, including mine. It is still firmly affixed. Maybe more so. I believe it is 3M tape. It is so light that if it did come off (which I think is 99.9% unlikely) it would simply blow out of the engine bay, it's "featherweight". I have been told that thousands of the various designs have been sold and I have never heard of a problem with them. I have no concerns for my car at all.....but your feedback is 100% appreciated. BTW Anchor Room makes stick-on plates for exterior parts of the cars. A friend installed one of Anchor Room's exterior custom plates on the down slope of his trunk on a black Mustang which sat in the sun a lot. It never moved. When he went to remove it to replace it with an up-dated version he had a heck of a time getting it off with a heat gun. Whatever AR uses (think its 3M tape - it STICKS!)......BT and most importantly .....THANK YOU for your SERVICE @RLE55 ....we get to drive around freely because many have sacrificed to keep North America free!

That's all good to hear, as I've been eyeballing the plates for some time now. May pull the trigger based on the testimonials.

Very Cool Looking..
Something different.

Thanks for the Info. Just ordered mInes as well. It’s the “Small Things” as they say that sometimes makes the difference.

For some reason there was nothing on the strut tower brace? But it's a nice addition. Many choices.

@jimbo67 yes, the dealer said some of the 2024s arrived with strut tower badges some didn't. A tech told me he was told if they ran out of strut tower badges on the assembly line that was the way it went out. I noticed that at the dealership a 2024 Mustang (identical model to mine) except in Oxford White had badging on its strut tower - that's what got me looking.

Pretty sweet upgrade

Dark Horse has a strut brace badge from the factory.

Interesting. Apparently some of the GTs did too but it was just random.

Lmbo, it wasn’t this Oxford White GT unfortunately but it’s all good. Will look a bit sharper when I raise the hood to do some inspections!!

@jboogie1289 ..... at the dealer - my new 2024 Vapor Blue GT 'vert is in the foreground, ready for me to drive away. In the background is the 2024 Oxford White GT 'vert just purchased the day before by a guy and waiting for final detailing - he won the strut tower "badge lottery" - he got the factory strut tower badge, but imo even though I had to buy it, the Anchor Room badge looks better than what he got. BTW - love Oxford White have had three Fords with it including a 2014 "vert. Now if I can find a picture of that? Sold it to my friend, who really likes it. Pristine shape, premium and pony packages incl strut tower, with only 40K miles on it and full synthetic from first oil change on. Oxford White on Black.....Black Tie Classic!
