Strut tower brace was used much earlier than the Camaro 5 gene. was created.

Many acute cars use it.
1LE, Z/28, CTS 6.2 supercharged....

...yes in combination with other elements.
but certainly its use makes sense.

Minimum as windshield protection :-)
The car is really in extreme twist and I have seen many broken windshields.

I see that the gas piston grip must also be moved.
What did you do with the original sheet?
Cut off?
You have it processed in very high quality


Not sure what you are referring to when you mentioned the gas piston grip and original sheet? I assume you meant dropping the struts completely from the strut towers by removing the top nuts under the plastic caps that sit on top of the retainers? If so then yes, need to drop the whole strut assembly to be able to have room to tighten the bolts for the brace from the underside.

It's a little more complicated.
I'm overseas from Czech Republic.

But Dynosteve handed me a helping hand. That guy just great.
We'll see what happens.

So I have a pretty problem.
No TPIS response.
They do not respond to emails not respond phones.

Is there anyone else selling this install kit ....?
Without it, I can hang it on the wall
