For sale are thermal intake spacers for the Accent 1.6 DOHC engines. Drop your intake manifolds temperatures dramatically by installing this phenolic spacer. $55 Shipped. Free Shipping is only for US & Canada.
They move the intake manifold only about 3mm farther away from the head towards the firewall. I can't see any way this would interfere with your strut tower brace except that you may want to remove the brace during installation to make it easier to get to things.
As far as fitting with a plastic intake manifold I can't see how it would not fit. If your gasket is part number 28411-26011 it'll work for sure.
