Strut Tower Braces That Fit Under GTA Hoods

Has anyone installed a BMR three point strut tower brace on a 1989 GTA? Does it rub on the underside of the hood like the Edlebrock strut tower brace? Are there any other strut tower braces that will fit under a 1989 GTA without having to modify the brace and/or the hood to make them fit?

I have the BMR 3 point in my GTA and there is no rubbing.

I think the Hotchkis 2 point one will fit too

You only have to make changes on the TPI version....you should be fine on the TBI version.

I've had my BMR 3-point brace on mine for several years without any issues. I actually like the way the BMR logo seems to wrap around the plenum. It makes the engine bay appear much nicer.
