Engine Cover with SR Performance Strut Tower Brace?

Hello,
I am wanting to get the engine cover for my 2013 3.7. I was almost about to pull the trigger and then realized that I have a SR Performance strut tower brace installed . Which makes think. If the engine cover fit under the tower brace? If it does, can I install the cover without removing the tower brace?

P.S. I do not want to take the tower brace off and install the cover as the nuts holding the front coilovers will just fall off and is hard to re install it with out messing up alignment.

Thank you for all the advice and help!!

I can't speak to your tower brace, but when I replaced the plenum cover on my '14 GT I had to remove my stock brace. I might have been able to finesse the cover without taking off the brace, but it's only 8 bolts and made life so much easier.

I have both. It will fit, and I think you will be able to leave the brace on. Hope this pic helps.

Youll just have to slide the cover into place under the bar, line up the holes and bolt it down. Shouldnt be hard but take your time and it will go on without any issue
