I am thinking about purchasing the MS tower strut bar. I was wondering if is still possible to put back the cover?

 

Nope stock cover will not fit. Either run "top less" (not that big a deal) or get the IPT cover made out of Carbon Fiber. That fits over the MS Strut tower bar ( what I have done )

This post has pics with the IPT cover

a friend of mine did it. he did a trick though, he extended the two lower clips (don't know how) and it fits.

 

I have modified the cover and it even fits with the 4 point strut bar from Japan... but I then decided not have one.

No big deal... I now actually love the look of the exposed engine :D
