[Speedfreak]

Brandon is it possible to flip the tubing around so you could keep the rear seat?

Found my info on the rear seat brace in the Boss LS

CR3Z 6346612 A: BRACKET (Center Brace)
CR3Z 580374 A: COVER ASY (Guesssing the Carpeted Pieces)
CR3Z 6363048 A: RETAINER

Working on maybe ordering this to get it to fit in my Bullitt. Everything only says 10-13 but there is really nothing different about the rear panels in these cars from what I've seen.

GallopingFord - Have you gotten prices for these pieces?

Silver or black is fine with me. No STEEDA billboard. Delete panels for a clean install.

That's what I want.

Brandon, let me know when the x brace is available with out the big Steeda name plate on it. I will buy one! Do you know where the boss delete panel can be acquired?

I would check with your dealership.

Where can I get this, and how much does it cost?

See above.

I like it! You guys should sell a delete kit also though.

We're looking into offering the delete panels in the future as well.

This doesn't interfere if you have a rear strut tower brace right?

The X-Brace does not interfere with the Steeda rear strut tower brace.

Brandon can you shoot me some close up pics of that Boss rear seat delete?

Unfortunately, the car with this brace is at our Florida location.

That brace with the ^^ Ford Racing Logo on it along with an option to have it color matched to the exterior paint would be awesome. Or just the standard colors of red, black, Ford Blue and silver. You guys should also make your own delete panels.

It is not.


I will pass all of the feedback along to our engineering and manufacturing department. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

 

[Stang613]

Thanks for the response Brandon!
As you can clearly tell - we are all awaiting the delete panel

 

[alinkous]

To be perfectly honest, Id rather have a quality delete kit rather than the brace...

 

[Nicu7]

Love the brace but that steeda placard thing needs to go!

So your not in contact with them, that they could post or send some close up photos?

I gotta agree with the opinions on the billboard thing. Reminds me of Terry Honaker's Brenspeed car with the giant B logo plastered all over every single part on the car. He even had the logo embroidered in the seats. When I saw the picture of his rear seat delete with the giant Brenspeed logo I immediately lost all respect for him and quit following his posts.

I suggest you keep the Steeda billboard for your company project cars and eliminate it for the version you sell to the general public. Only the 1% extremists will want the logo.

Here's the picture I was talking about. Don't make your brace look like this.

I want one that allows me to retain the rear seat.

Boy this thread sure opened a can o worms

I think steeda plate looks great. I'm sure not everyone is 100% performance oriented. But I do agree that if I could reduce the price without the plate, I'd be all over it. That plate looks $$$ to make.

That Steeda billboard is held on with 6 screws; I'm sure it could be easily removed.

Then get a rear strut tower brace and call it a day.

I think every ones point is, Steeda could sell it without the center plaque for probably $100 cheaper since it's a laser etched piece of aluminum that is probably cnc cut. They would have already sold 10-15 of them just from this thread.
I would be willing to pay the 199 price w/o the plaque but for $299 and take the plaque and hang it on my shop wall, I'll build my own.

Looking at Ford's prices, that Steeda bracket is looking like a deal! lol!

 

[GallopingFord]

I ain't paying near that much and those prices are cost. Haha

 

[Chiron]

I'm not trying to belittle Steeda or their design at all, but holding a brace using those two bolts on the bottom? That seems like a HUGE stress concentration. I'd weld those tabs on before you shear something, but that's just my very-slightly-educated opinion.
