GM Tower strut question

Hey guys i really like the way the OEM tower strut looks and i was curious if the 2012 camaros come with the holes pre drilled

I would check for myself but im currently deployed and id like to buy the tower strut and have it shipped b4 i get home.

Thanks for all who reply.

im 13D (field artillery for the civilians reading lol) and durring my 2011 tour i spend alot of time in Zormat and Chamkani with the ODA (special forces) but this time im mainly on bagram...i think when i come in im gonna have 18% tint, the tower strut, and lowering springs put on (ill do the springs and tower strut) and those will be my very first appearance mods.

oh let me get some opinions on lowering size...i am gonna do the ZL1 conversing (front only), the razzi rockers, and the havoc deffuser...how far should i drop and still have clearence so im not sitting one the ground?

OK so i bought the OEM Strut Brace with 6 bolts and its being mailed home so when i come back in a week i can paint it and put it on

i also got the BMR lowering springs 1.4" in the front and 1.0" in the back, that shouldnt be to hard to put on either and should be a lil more aggressive look

then im tinting the windows (back and both sides, not the front strip)

btw i wanna put the front lettering on my window and i wanna do "CAMARO SS" what color should i do that would look good? i was thinking red?

the color of the lettering is totally up to you but i would tint the top of the windshield so the lettering shows up better.
