Ok guys here is my dilemma. I went online the other day and ordered a polished plenum, stillen oil cap, stillen strut bar and ofcourse I got the carbon fiber engine cover from stillen. The parts are all here except for the engine cover, there is a slight delay on it. While I was on the phone the lady that works for stillen/rep said that the cf engine cover would not fit if i had the strut bar on. I told her yes it will. I will have to remove my old factory engine cover but the strut bar should have no problem clearing the engine cover since the engine cover is located forward into the engine bay like closer to the front of the car than as appose to the rear. Am I missing something or is she wrong?

This is the products i'm talking about ordered from stillen: please help


This is the engine cover


And this is the strut bar.

Once again since the strut clearly only goes over the plenum I wouldn't imagine there would be fitment issues. Somebody please clear this up for me because she said she has always heard that the strut bar wont fit over the specific cover that I ordered. Thanks guys.

 

I have the Stillen brace as well (with th 9/16th spacer). There is about 1 mm clearance between the brace and the plenum. Nothing would fit in between. You should cancel your cover!

 

I have the carbon fiber engine cover and a 5/16" spacer, and it clears the strut bar just fine. You should be able to make it work.

 

it depends on the size of your spacer, if you have a 5/16 it should fit

 

the cover that i ordered doesnt even cover the whole portion of the plenum. it is at the "bottom" of the plenum or forward toward the engine bay, see what i'm saying? i dont see why it wont fit. i dont have a plenum spacer and prolly wont get one but if i did it would be 5/16th spacer

 

If you don't have a spacer it will fit with no problem at all.

 

I sure hope so, like i said this is the first i have heard about fitment issues as far as these two products were concerned
