Strange STB and Ford Plenum Cover

I've been wanting a Strut Tower Brace with an engine cover since I've had the car. Finally a good looking combination that doesn't break the bank: The Strange Development STB and the Ford Plenum, and they don't rub.

I've seen where the Strange STB will rub the hood insulation, but I took that out long ago and it doesn't rub the hood, so it's all good.

Looking at it from the front of the car, I can't believe it doesn't rub, but it doesn't.

Very nice - doesn't say "Hey look at me!", but adds enough to make a difference. Got a link to their site or where you ordered it from?

Thanks for the info! Got my STB on order now, still waiting on the plenum cover from KC. I am so glad that someone finally found a STB that will fit over the cover and you don't have to cut into the hood to make fit.

Thanks, I like it a lot better than the silver Midwest Auto cover. I sold mine too and went with this one.

Yes, the pics don't do it justice, it is VERY polished, more like chrome than aluminum. Also VERY lightweight, less than two pounds.
