Default 2003-2006 Strut Bar fit over 2007 Engine?

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any of you have used the strut bars from the 2003-2006 on the new 2007 engine and if it will clear with no problems.

I am interested in the JIC magic strut bar and just want to know if it would fit, i tried a search but nothing came up.

Thanks

Prob just a typo. Pretty sure no aftermarket bar aside from Stillen or Crawford will work.

Would just depend on it's construction actually. A bar for an 07 is more likely to work on an 03 than vice versa.

yeah, I didn't think an 03 would work for an 07, but thought there might be clearance the other way.

Since an 07 would need more clearance than the 03, the 07 one might just work. The downside is that it probably wouldn't clear the 03 hood.
