Default Strut tower brace with AVS modules?

Hi, does anyone know of a front strut tower brace that will work with the AVS modules covers?

Will the cusco brace work? https://www.modinjapan.com/cusco-fro...rc-f-gs-f.html (edit: looking at the pics, it doesn't look like it will work)

That looks like it would work.

The Tanabe brace definitely works.

Others may disagree, but I would not spend too much effort on trying to retain the AVS covers. The AVS covers are, indeed cosmetic covers so that under the hood things look neat. If you remove the AVS covers, you'll see that the actual AVS module goes on top of the strut and for the most part, is pretty protected. A lot of other cars with electronic adjustable suspensions are setup the way our cars would without the AVS covers. Don't worry about it too much.
