1LE tower brace on 2010?

I'm sure this has been asked before. I realize the 2015 1le strut tower brace does not directly bolt up to a 2010, but are there mounting kits out there to make it work? Maybe I'm smoking something…I know I have seen it. Just can't find it.

Is it that the holes are just not predrilled? Seems like it should fit...

From what I read when looking up my Strut Tower, the holes are just not predrilled in like in later models planning on using it, but if you drill them in the right spots and attack the tower it should all work fine.

if you compare a 2011-15 and 2010 the strut towers are different.11-15 have flat surfaces to bolt the tower brace to besides just having the holes. there is a bracket that you can get to make it work though.

Thanks for the help Draco…looks like that one is off a convertable. Could be one size fits all but I dunno. Looks like the ABS is really in the way.

I have the tpis on mine to fit the 1le strut bar. Only complaint is that I had to shave the top of the screws because it kept hitting my hood.

TPS kit here no problems just a pain to hold lock nuts from bottom when tightening the top.. I think the GM brace looks better than the other plus it felt tighter when I installed it but now I'm used to it being there..
