The off the shelf parts aren't allowed because they're actually too big. The rules are written in a way that keeps people from putting massive front splitters and canards on the front of the car. It just happens that the off the shelf options are a little bit too big to be legal.

Yes we're running a Radium surge tank in the fuel cell to solve that issue. No problems with it so far.
