I picked this up in addition to most of the interior out of a 95 GT that was being parted out. I did some research and it seems to be classified as a "fit" only for 94-95 GT and V6 Mustangs. I did a quick/loose test fit on my 2003 V6 and didn't see anything obvious that would cause it not to fit.

I thought these cars were effectively the same underlying chassis?

Will this be able to be installed on my '03? How much fabrication/modification will have to be done, if any?

The only thing I can see that might be an issue is the right most bolt hole on the rear that bolts to the Firewall plate lines up with a thin metal bit that currently holds a clip to keep part of the wiring harness up and against the firewall. The metal looks pretty thin and I think would want to be beefed up some before bolting it in, or would it be fine?

that only "fits" on those years because pretty much everything else it would hit on something. if it physically clears your intake and lines up with the holes then yeah have at it. as for the firewall mount, that's all it ever mounted to was the two pinched together pieces of metal. if you can relocate that wire mount to the bar or somewhere else then you'll be fine.

I tried my 94s factory brace on a new edge and the biggest problem was on the firewall mounting not matching up at all. Wasn't even close enough to consider trying to make it fit.

Cool yeah that's what I was wondering

Makes me wonder if I have an aftermarket strut tower bar. Not all 94-95 GTs came with them from factory right?
