Talking Strut Tower Covers & Strut Bar

Curious what everyone is using for strut tower covers and where did you get them?

Also what are you using for a strut tower brace on a 2010 Camaro?

Thanks

Found some thanks for all the replies.

I've been running the Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace on my 2010 Callaway Camaro since 2011 because it was one of the only ones that cleared the Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger.


I've also got some strut tower covers that I picked up on eBay a few years back. I think I paid $50 US for the strut tower covers but I have no idea what brand they are or if they're still made.

Strut bar was an option on mine, just looking to have it painted, I believe GM still carries them if you get lucky. My strut covers are from American Brothers:https://www.americanbrotherdesigns.c...p/abd-1211.htm

I have the OEM bar custom painted from my dealership, and the strut covers are the same ones as badassbumblebee's, except polished aluminum.

I have the stock strut tower bar painted in gloss black and a twin bar BMR (same as acutron posted) in black available if anyone in area is looking for one. Can’t use it with the supercharger.

I wouldn’t mine adding one to my car. What’s the issue with the 2010 models? I heard you need an adapter because the bolt holes aren’t there or something?

Here is the mounting kit for the strut bar for the early model years.

Strut Tower Covers & Strut Bar

I too have a 2010 Camaro and I'm using the GM Strut Tower Bar with the TPIS adapters that the member above me posted a link to. I had my Strut Tower Bar painted the HotWheels color version that were on the 2013 Camaro etc... The ends are painted in GM Silver. Your front suspension will need to be removed and holes will need to be drilled into the Strut Towers for it to work.
