The shaker system is like 700.00 or isnt it?? and like most others have said, not really a sound investment for the money.

Go with some full length subframe connectors and the styling bar.

Just think of your mom, dude.. if you had a light bar and flipped your shit, you're going to have a closed casket funeral because you're gonna be mangled.

What really impresses all those people who everyone tries to impress by modding their cars, is seeing parts that are functional and actually contribute to making the car better than how it came off the assembly line. It's more respectable than wasting your money on neons and body kits and stuff that says "Hey look at me!!.... Please?? "


Roll bar > styling bar > nothing

I would go with the shaker. I have a styling bar on my Roush, and it really doesn't do anything except hold a brake light.

Verts already come stock with Ford's cheesy subframe connectors.


I say put the V-TAK in it, your torque curve would be an LS2 killer then.

+1 man.

they're talking about the shaker not being any good.

wtf is a light bar good for? it doesn't protect you. it just "looks" good.

Hence why they call them "styling bars".. cuz all they're good for is looking neato. Only function is to hold a brake light and to look neato.

Don't flip your shit

I wouldn't do either, since they are just for looks.
But, if you want some better looks, IMO, a black top.
The light bar would look good, the stock hood you got is ok

I guess we all agree that both are going to be mostly cosmetic with the shaker being the only one with "potential" to have any performance gain.

With that said, a styling bar looks good on vert's, kinda balances out the look with the top down.

The shaker is 6x the price, offers no proven HP gain, and IMHO will look funny on a stock style GT hood, the Shaker looks good on the Mach because of the raised cowl look it has.

So again, I vote Styling bar (the kind without the brake light, thats just too many brake lights) and full length SFC's

ive noticed that on mine too. it scared me at first b/c i thought i didnt latch it all the way.
