Very fair observation!
Actually its not as bad as the photo makes it look, the lowest point of the cooler is probably still about 8-10cm above the base of the sumpguard.... and about 5cm above the lower front lip.
The plastics surrounding the cooler are clear of any witness marks so far (unlike the lower front lip which looks like its been attacked with a grinder!)
I'm about to put a mesh guard over the cooler to protect against road debris, and the other bonus is the plastic panel it is mounted in can actually deflect upwards to a fair degree if it does struck something solid.

I went for driving to the mountains. Amazing drive on the STI (tS Spec) Bilstein struts and Advan A052 tires.

Put on some heat protection where the exhaust passes the diff and cooks the seal until it lets go.

I too took a mountain drive today. Went through the "Back of the Dragon" by myself for an hour and then I tagged along with a group of C7 Grandsports. They were going quite slow.
