Does anyone know if the ZL1 strut tower brace will fit under the hood of a 2015 1LE?

The 1LE and ZL1 have the same strut tower brace from the factory. Your car should have one if it's a 1LE.

The ZL1 has a different brace from the 1LE, it's more bent/curved to clear the supercharger.

Your 1LE already has a strut tower brace and the ZL1 brace isn't an upgrade from that. I don't see the point in changing it unless your trying to keep a strut tower brace and add a supercharger.

I do not believe that the ZL1 brace will fit under the 14/15 hood. Im not 100% sure on that though.

I know it's not an upgrade I like the way it looks

I was wondering the same thing will it fit under the hood of the 1le hood?? I thought the ZL1's hood is domed to fit the supercharger ???

It all makes sense. I learned something new.

I know this is an old question, but i just tried it on mine and it fit. I have a 14ss with the ZL1 brace. Hood barely closed, but it fit.
