Just take off your strut bar if it is the issue and put the hood on. Look for an aftermarket strut bar in the meantime. Driving without a strut bar will not hurt anything.
That was my idea.

I had the same issue, but mine turned out to be the hood prop. Took it out and no problem...

i think is due to less rigidity. i used to have the same problem while speeding doing 130 mph. so i installed the TS hood latches, and its just perfect.
