I have one from Spoon Performance, but it will not fit with a SC. I have seen other strut braces and I am pretty sure they should clear a SC.

Yes, the factory strut bar that comes on the convert fits over the whipple.

Be careful!! We have the same problem.... we have a 2010. the strut tower braces that are commercially available fit only 2011 and up. I have a Magnuson 2300 and neither the BMR or Hotchkiss brace fit (we tried and returned them). We had Lingenfelter's shop try to custom build one and that project failed. So.... If you all know of a solution, I'd love to know too. It is clear that bolting on one that is not 2010-specific is not an option.

I believe LSR makes an adapter bracket that let's you bolt the OEM strut tower brace onto a 2010 camaro.

Gm Parts Direct have the strut brace for the ZL1. It has a raised center to accommodate the supercharger.

ZL1 brace requires ZL1 hood. GM makes a strut brace for the convertible that fits the stock SS hood and is a direct bolt in on 2011+
