A member has confirmed they don’t fit and sent his back. It’s somewhere around here.

The firewall to tower braces in the above picture are on all Gen 6 Camaros.

Those braces tie the strut towers to the firewall. The strut tower brace ties the strut towers to each other and eliminates even more flex.
I have the GM strut tower brace on my SS 1LE. |

The brace clears the lid of the supercharger just fine, the problem is the ZL1 hood hits the brace and won't close.

Ohh, I see. How bad is it? Maybe the brace can be notched or something.

That brace does not clear the supercharger lid. It is not designed for the LT4. Per Matt R at thatgmpartsguy.com it is only designed for the LT1. I had to return the one I ordered for my ZL1 Vert because it did not fit. I returned it and they gladly refunded.
