Default Extended Top Hat Clearance

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?

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.
