GTSpec brace and under body panel fitment

Just a quick question as I fill in blanks in my long-term upgrade roadmap (post wheels/rubber, FI, and suspension)

Anyone have any idea whether a GTSpec front tie brace interfere with the aluminum skidplate and fiberglass underbody paneling?
I contacted GTSpec's support but they opted not to reinstall the panels during fitment and do not know whether it will interfere.

For reference below is the tie brace, GTS-SUS-1459:

Looks like it. But perhaps you can get some extended bolts and screw it in that way.

that may end up being the solution, or opt for a different brace entirely. I do like how it boxes in a section of subframe, apologies if I'm using the incorrect terminology. Agency-Power has a similar brace, but runs parallel to the control arms and requires spacers/longer hardware for the paneling.

anyway
