Short answer: yes. Long answer: because I initially received the wrong parts, I installed the crosspiece then had to wait for the correct skid to arrive. I left the small OEM skid on when I installed the crosspiece b/c it looked to have clearance (not much, but I could see light between them). But I noticed some occasional low-frequency rattling at idle and coincidentally saw another post about the OEM skid contacting the crosspiece, so I took off the OEM skid before installing the RCI plate and no more rattling.
It's simple to remove even after the crosspiece is on, just get the 4 bolts (12mm IIRC) out then kind of maneuver it until you can get it clear.
