True. 2010 and early 2011 Camaros have different shock towers compared to late 2011-present Camaros. The convertible/1LE/ZL1 brace will only fit late 2011-present cars. There are aftermarket braces available for your 2010 but you will have to drill holes.

There is an adapter kit for the 2010s that allows use of that brace. But it's $120-130.

TPiS adapter and the GM brace is well worth the money. Better looking then aftermarket strut braces IMO.
