New Ford Performance B-Bow & C-Bow Brace Kit

[0ne]

I'm definitely interested. I live down in Colorado Springs, was planning to drive up there soon to go to Microcenter. Got all the hardware from the kit?

@Blaylock1988 Yessir, everything is accounted for and new in the box/wrapping/bag and Ford even sent two of the upper brackets. Pics:

@0ne : That does not concern me as much, I have a 21 and I do not have the rivet holes I believe for the C, the B I would mind that being overheard.

They sent me 2 brackets as well, weird

Thanks, read that. Looks like more than that piece may need to come out as it has 2 tabs that fit into the adjoining pieces

You can see taking out the moulding is going to involve more than just one piece just by the overlap

What’s in that spot along the sides in a four door? Upper part of the rear cargo side trim or curtain air bag trim? Could maybe cut that part off and just rely on the four other clips but that doesn’t help get the original piece out…

Anyone have any tips or tricks on removing the C Pillar moulding? Seems like you have to at least remove some additional moulding prior to removing the c pillar cross bar moulding....

I picked up One's C-bow and installed it in the parking lot. It wasn't too bad, the end plastic panels are the hardest part, they both have 2 metal clips holding them into the roll bar and those metal clips really fought me, one broke off unfortunately.

Also nice thing is its compatible with the Mabett upgraded rear dome light. The obstruction from the rear view mirror is very minimal too.

Is this compatible with aftermarket 6' / 6.5' speaker pods?

It is really tough to drill through... I have done it though... It just takes time, and some good bits. Start with a small diameter and then redrill with larger and larger.... Not that bad..... just time consuming.

Use cobalt M42 drill bits. Way better than regular high speed steel drills.

I don't have them, but I would guess probably not, they looked pretty chunky in pictures

Has anyone seen any kits or listings for just the ford performance B-bow brace kit? I like the factory look, but I only see C-bow and C+B-bow kits.

Anyone interested in an install vid? Coming soon…

Install video - didn't break anything.
Ford shipped an extra part in the kit, so there were parts left over....

Sorry for the vertical format....

mabett, no. you'd have to get the MTI pods.

Has anyone noticed if it actually increases the stiffness over bumps? I still get a ton of shaking on rough roads around town.
