Bought the PHP kit and Metco tube from Dennis. The Metco tube is pretty straightforward, but unlike the PHP box they also provided actual install instructions. I really hate guessing on stuff like this, or not being told how because it's "obvious." But I digress...
I see how the black undertray is supposed to mount, and that at the right rear of it on the firewall side there is a hold down tab, but what about the front? The thing is heavy and is going to rest right on the wires and brake lines that are there, correct? That can't be right. Is there some kind of a spacer to lift it up? I see the screw in front that can be used, but again I'm going to have 10 pounds of steel just setting on stuff it shouldn't be, and with contact support points only at the right rear and front, the left rear is unsupported.
Thanks as always for any info.

P.S. Alright guys, I guess I figured it out. I guess I use the front screw and I just unsnapped the plastic tabs for the wiring harness and pushed it down out of the way. Don't like leaving it loose, but it was sticking up so much that the tray would not even make contact with the front mounting point. The box clears the brake lines anyway in front. Can't see that it can be installed any other way.
Thanks again for any insights.
