05 Engine Cover on an 07?

I don't know for sure when the engine covers changed, but I like the older ones that show the intake runners in the center. Has anyone tried to swap an older cover onto a newer truck?

PM RB's Titan to see if this mod will work he put a 07 intake on a 04 and was going to use his 04 cover. I'm not sure if he got it to fit , i do know the cover brackets were different but replaceable.

Yes, the older covers will fit the 07'.
I'm with you on the older covers looking better than the 07 with the closed center.
I bought one, painted it and it looks great.

Did you have to make modifications to the mounting brackets to make it work or any trimming anywhere?

No mods to worry about. Just goes on the same way as the original one does. My truck is an 05 and put the 07 painted cover on mine...

No mods required at all. Mounts just like the new one,
and it just looks better to me.
