Default Extended Top Hat Clearance
If I add eBay extended top hats on my 99 Civic EK, do i have to raise the hood for clearance?

Just watch what strut bar you are using.

My car does not have a strut bar, so will these top hats be fine in my car without having to raise the hood right?

What part of "No" are you having a problem with?

On the eBay Extended top hats, does the shock itself fit inside the extended part? (Tokico Illuminas)

Where else is it supposed to fit? It's the same as OEM except it's EXTENDED.
