I was talking about the mishimoto one, it has a metal lip to hold the rubber piece, i think the metal lip is sufficient. Look at post 228.

Based on the installed pic, it looks like that tab on the front goes over the rubber air dam since this gets installed on top of the stock piece instead of replacing it, so yeah, that is going to scrape if originally the rubber flat was going to. Not sure I like this design, but as I said, perhaps v2 can be a full replacement for the stock piece. I’m sure people would pay a little more for more material, it’s a nice design, especially the honeycomb cuts. I don’t think it’ll take long to redo the plasma cutter file to be the same size as stock but with the integrated shield, you’re just moving the outer measurements out and just charge a little more for more metal.

Its not the lowest part, the underbelly pan goes lower, there's a gradual slope to the back of the engine. Just installed mine, added a mesh to it also.

Looking at the guard, it’s notched on both sides for that plastic part that protrudes with the metal covering the center of it. Do those hang down lower and are they as far forward? Are you concerned about the additional mesh you’ve added blocking airflow? something to consider. Watch those temps in summer! |

But since there's already a small metal lip to hold the air damn on the mishimoto plate i think you'll be fine, keep an eye on your oil temps.

I ordered the same plate and mines came with long spacers. Not sure if I’m supposed to install it. The videos I watched, the long spacers weren’t in the items. |

No mine were all like 1/8" thick, but the rear two longer screws might need them.

Looks good, any clearance issues
Install looks good, please let us know if you experience any issues with the clearance due to that added metal that over the rubber air dam. Agree with other threads that the rubber air dam can flex if it touches anything but that metal won't and may cause the skid plate to bend and cause problems elsewhere. I just got my M3 so looking at the various people who have experiences with this or the mishimoto skid plate.
