Default What CF hood will clear strut tower bar?

I have a seibon TS style cf hood , great fitment and everything but the only problem with it is it rides very very low so I can put a strut tower bar , does anyone know of a hood with the same fitment in CF that will clear???

Can you no gently cut out the area that touches the strut bar? I'm not a cf expert by any means, but one would think that they would all be roughly the same.

Honestly, you dont even need a STB on the S2000. Its really a show piece only and this has been debated since 2000. I wouldnt even worry about one. Just keep your hood and paint it.

I think the STB hold more purpose than a CF hood. At least u can lean on it while u work on the car. The cf hood doesn't do shit but cost money and make a panel of your car black/grey. I think the CF phase is over....PAINT IT/USE OEM!
