Especially considering you've modified airflow inside the engine bay, it may be running hot enough to cause pinging, but not hot enough to cause any changes in the engine temps.

Dave,
All of the ones I have seen so far are at the lowest part of the front bumper. The air dam extends below the belly pan.
