I had to dremmel a little bit of the "lip" of my bumper reinforcement to get it to sit all the way down properly. Other than that, no big issues. It's been a while, but your estimate of temperature drops is probably pretty close. I think recovery after high boost sessions (like at autocross events) was also improved significantly. Absolutely NO issues since installation.
That's interesting, I didn't have to do any modifications on my Fluidyne. Never ceases to amaze me the variations from car to car.
