If I ordered an '07 I'd consider the optional appearance package. It includes a plenum cover, hood scoop, and something else I can't remember right now.

The plenum cover on the 07 sits even higher than the Midwest cover on the 05/ 06 and there ARE clearance issues with most of the STB's. There's a way to gain some extra room by removing the cover, pulling the washers under the cover, then reinstalling with the washers on top. try this if you have trouble getting the STB on. I think there are some STB's that just flat out will not fit with the 07 cover anyway, not sure if the FRPP is one of them.

FRPP Strut Tower Brace will interfer with 07 stock plenum cover. I took the plenum cover off...looks better IMO...too much of a good thing....some times less is better.

But do you think the FRPP Strut Tower Brace will fit with MidWest's Plenum cover??

You will have to install washers on the STB's to raise them up enough to miss the plenum cover.

I heard that the '07's strut towers were configured differently than the 05-06's, due to the Shelby's larger motor (they needed the extra clearance).
If this is the case, I hope your STB was made for an 07, or it might not fit.
