I was putting on my strut tower brace today which i had ordered from online. It stated it's for S13 but after i putted it on, my hood can't close now, it'll hit the bar. So what should i do now?

Where did you buy it from and what brand is the bar? Take off the hood liner, that will free up another couple centimeters or so.
