Car looks great Nick, great color combo, perfect stance and nice wheel choice.

On the spoiler, I think you'd end up dragging it right off the car the first time you drove it after the install. Even on a car that's still at stock ride height you'd ruin it pretty quickly.

No matter how careful you are you're going to end up destroying it pretty quickly. It's a very nice product but unfortunately not the least bit practical being made out of steel.

I would rethink your power steering cooler mounting location, right under the core support is a very vulnerable spot.

I took some measurements. Its 8.5" to the bottom of the core support and 10.5" to the bottom of the bumper. How much front end road clearance is needed in my situation?
