You best bet is probably going to be making your own custom boxy scoop out of carbon or fiberglass. Borrow an '05 scoop, make a mold, then adapt the mold to line up with the shape of the '07 scoop.

You can't use an '04/'05 hood because the lights don't match. I doubt you can modify the '07 hood since the holes are that different... or if you could, it's probably more work than just making a scoop, since the hood is aluminum, and merging an '05 hole into an '07 hood is going to require a pro-welder and a source '05 hood.

Personally, I think it's a ton of work to get the older, uglier hood scoop. The '04/'05's look like someone bolted a shoebox to the hood.
