    For the TSS issue with the bull ball, the issue is with the center support area that the grill sits on. It's the area where you DO need to cut for the install of the bumper but that also affects the original supporting area of the grill.

    I only noticed this once I got my seibon CF hood installed and noticed the grill sat lower then when i had the stock hood. The weight of the stock hood was heavier and made up for the gapping in that area. Then I realized that center area where the grill was sitting on no longer had the support it had prior after cutting off that area.

    So what I did, which in my case solved both concerns, I put a piece of dense form in that area below. It reduced the gap between the hood and grill and it lifted the TSS sense just enough to clear the bull bar and not error. It lasted for a month or so until i believe the piece has shrink a bit and now i get the error light again. I need to visit this but not high priority but that's the issue for those with TSS and this bumper setup.

    As for the camera question, the bar blocks the camera but still useful and one would have to adjust as to how to view things and gauge. I sold my old front camera solution as that was interfacing with something, different topic, so it's just there and not in use at the moment.
