BMR sells a strut tower brace that clears the plenum cover. I have one on my '07 GT that I bought from Ninosport. It clears the plenum cover and hood liner. I have noticed that the '07 hood liner is different from the '05-'06 hood liner, so I can't speak for that.

I have NEW in BOX Ford OEM GT500 STB that goes over plenum and some say it'll clear stock hood also, when adding 2 spacers on the back studs to angle it a little. $70 SHIPPED in Continental US. PM me. Paypal only.

The BMR is the way to go, heres mine, as you can see clears cover nicely. Barely touches hood liner, you can see two small indents, but you can also tell the hood liner hangs about and inch or more low from the hood. If you dont want it to rub, undo hood liner, 3m adhesive it to the hood put back in pins, and no rub. Awesome Brace. You can add your own emblems etc, stickers are in box not attached. Good luck

I used the granatelli STB. One trick is to mount the plenum cover underneath the screws in the rear. Normally the PC sits ontop of these screws, but, if you remove them, install the PC and then install the screws back over the PC, you will gain over a 1/4" of clearance.
This may not seem to be a lot but you'd be surprised how much that actually is when you are low on clearance.
Also, be careful with the STB from the 07 and higher cars. Ford modified the Strut tower on the 07s and the STB from these cars won't fit on 05-06 cars.
