Examine each strut tower to see if it has three holes. If there is, it is appropriate.
Examine the interior of your vehicle. Three holes should already be present behind the arms that lift the hood. You'll be fine if you have three on both sides.

When driving at higher speeds, 5/6 bolts fit, but turns are sharper and the wheel shakes less.
Great part for giving your car a sporty look while also increasing its turning performance.
It feels sturdy right out of the box, with only a minor blemish. I had read in another review that it didn't match up well. I'm in the same boat as you (SS 2012). To get perfect screw alignment, I had to drill to extend the existing hole on the brace. Drilling for a few minutes completed the task. It made a significant difference on turns once it was installed. Turns were a little tighter. Overall, if you have some patience and drill, it is well worth it.
synchronization When it comes to strut towers for your fifth-generation Camaro, this is an excellent option. br>br>However, the screw alignment was a problem for me. I had to make the holes on one side larger to fasten it down because one side lined up perfectly and the other needed the holes to be moved about 1/2" inward. br>br>I only got 2/3 of the way tightened on both sides, but I made up for it with threadlocker medium strength (blue). br>br>This would easily be a 5/5 star product if the holes had lined up better from the start; it feels very light and well constructed. I went ahead and wrapped the engine cover and metal finish in a gleaming carbon fiber finish. Because no one will ever see it, this isn't necessary. br>However, as a car enthusiast, knowing that it exists means a lot to me.
This is a very durable item. I'm not going to lie, I threw it out the window. It's super simple to set up! It took me no more than 15 minutes to complete. The bolts are pre-drilled in most Camaros, so all you have to do now is fill them in. The front end now has a tighter feel to it. When you turn, it doesn't appear that the front end is leaning. It also aids in increasing traction.
Only 5 of the 6 bolts align with the brace; in order to install all 6 bolts, I had to enlarge one of the brace's holes. I also clear coated it after painting the ends black.
It was simple to put together and I really like the way it looks.
