The issue I run into is since I have a CF front lip (a very shitty, poorly fitted one) it prevents bumper to flex. I had to bend the tray a bit to make it fit properly. Minor inconvenience.

For the turner tray since it is much thicker metal, I am not sure how much flex you can get. Hope that helps.

MLT tray here too, 'early adapter' version [circa 2020].
Fortunately, no interference, workaround or trim was necessary even with two different CF lip types over time. Still fits well after multiple removals/reinstalls.
Perhaps MLT modified dim specs
