Well, I need a skidplate for this crossover. I'm probably 1 to 1.5" lower than stock, though:
Your turbo will also end up right up against the radiator, so make damn sure you've got a blanket for it.

Fried wires are a problem, so coat and/or wrap the primaries. There's also some reflective tape (do not use the "ultra") that you can stick on your wires to help protect them... and keeping max air gap between the primaries and your wires is critical.

Alternator relocation was a problem with mine but maybe their newer bracket solves this.

Clearance for your steering needs to be monitored; if the downpipe is allowed to contact these pieces they will melt.

Make sure your power steering connections are all in good shape and kept clear; also do not overfill the reservoir... 'cause the fluid will drip straight down onto the header and then it's flame on, Johnny Torch. Don't ask me how I know that.

Mine only has 1 scrape, from a speed bump that was taller than it looked... I'm stock height.

Lowered 1', and my pipe is crunched enough so it won't scrape... But it does look quite crunched just on purpose.

I didn't have the foresight to wrap them before the kit went on. As for the primaries, mine are coated but I'll admit I don't know the material beneath...
