the ss pic looked nice. question, how does the hood close? looks like the little strut would interfere with the brace.

As others have said, the OEM strut tower brace from GM can be made to fit, but does not have the predrilled holes that the 12-13 MY have. For that matter any strut tower brace you buy, holes will need to be drilled. I can also say that after installing my strut tower brace, there was no improvment in handling. I don't doubt it has lessened some flexing and had added more stiffness and rigidity but no handling gains to speak of at all.

The GM strut tower brace is the best one in my opinion

I'd stick with the OEM GM one. ALL of the 5th Gen. convertibles come with the strut tower brace installed from the factory. Can't go wrong with it. It's proven.

Not a fan of the Stock Strut Tower Bar, Hotchkiss Makes a nice Strut Bar that will work on your car...

Most of the people above are making suggestions but are not considering the Camaro you own. Several of the ones stated above will not work just so you know. My personal preference is the hotchkis brace. Here's a picture of my set up

Hotchkis is very fine, I have it and I felt the car more steady in curves. But to install it you have to take off both schocks assembly to drill 2 holes from Under the car. You need a lift and Professional drill, the metal is very thick and hard. But for the rest I Love Them and great Looks.
