Nice work!! I originally intended to mount it in the grill area but got discouraged by the beam. My preference was to keep it centered but mount it lower. I like your adaptation as well though! As far as bottoming out, no issues there. The plate assembly sits 1/2" higher than the bottom of the diffuser. I got pulled over one time so far and flipped it up after the pull-over. The cop seemed awful confused! I got an illegal tint ticket though so I still came out the loser
