Default Neuspeed front strut bar for CRX... does yours touch the hood?

My neuspeed front strut bar rubs the bottom of the hood on the drivers side.

You can see a very noticable vibration in the hood where it touches, and its rubbed into the underside insulation.

I bought it used, and I'm wondering if this bar could be meant for another car, or if they all touch.

both of mine i have owned fit perfectly.

dont know how much clearance there is with the hood, but it was never an issue even with insulation.

You caould have a DA bar, which is supposed to fit the CRX. My Neuspeed never touched the hood at all.

My Neuspeed bar doesn't touch my hatchback's hood.

My neuspeed rubs slightly against the insultation under the hood. It's not bad though, and doesn't seem to protrude to the metal of the hood.

what washers? washers go on top of the strut bar flange, if at all.
