cut er out! You could bend it or trim it just a little I guess. Don't go too far or you'll have a bad time

And it appears thin but its a surprisingly poor-bending thing...

Even with these new jackstands, only 3.5 cm wide but 3000 kg capacity, I still cant place them in that area...
I didn't think about the possibility of the flag being hardend steel. If it is and you tried to bend it, it may break. Not good. I see why you would rather just work around it.

F, I considered that but wasn't sure that would be strong enough and didn't want those 'rims' on the control arms to bend. You reckon it will be strong enough?

It's also in an angle where it meets the frame (unibody), so I'd reckon it puts the whole load on the bolt that goes through the LCA bushing..not a problem?
