Do you know if it allows for dip stick better clearance
I had a Ford Performance Cowl and Strut Tower Brace on our 2024 GT Mustang.
Yes, you can get the Dip Stick Out.
No Problem.

My new GT came with 20ā€ wheels and I can confirm it has the metal cowl brace, but didn’t come with the strut tower brace. I just ordered the Ford performance one. Shame it comes bundled with the part I already have. But I wanted the genuine Ford part. I liked the cool center plate saying Ford Performance.

Here is a pic of my engine compartment with cowl brace factory installed.

I believe the factory 20s require the steel brace, gotta support those big wheels.
If your car has the factory 20 inch wheel option then it will come with the steel cowl brace.

I installed a take-off cowl and strut brace on my GT Premium. Got em used on offer-up and ebay. They can also be purchased from ford performance. The S550s braces are exactly the same and bolt right up incase anyone is wondering. The whole install took about 30 mins. You just have to take out the plastic cowl fasteners and lift up the panel to get to the cowl brace bolts. The torque specs are online.

These little things are why the Dark Horse is such a good track car as there stock.
That's a cowl brace and it's not exclusive to the Dark Horse. They come on GTs with 20in wheels and PP cars. Same with the S550s.

First off I did not say they are excusive to Dark Horse. Please learn how to read the post. Don't make up your opinion of the post without being able to comprehend what has been written. All I stated was these braces are part of what makes a Dark Horse so good on the track. I wish I could draw a picture because then I could send them to help you understand. Okay stay on topic have a good day.
