Maybe I'm not understanding you, but these don't seem like very troubling problems.

How will it be installed? I assume (and I know what assumptions get you) the same way as any other section of bumper, except this section technically does not meet the definition of bumper.

As far as being inside the frame perimeter, the very thing that keeps it from being considered a bumper is the fact that it is within the frame perimeter, so unless there is some sort of actuation involved that was not mentioned that would put it outside the frame perimeter at any given time, I don't believe this point is applicable.

Again, I'm just assuming. I may be completely off with my thinking, but there seem to be pretty logical solutions to me.
