Why not ?
Lots of folks on here have used it with good success.
It's light, fairly resilient, easy to work with (except glueing), and it does the job.

Keep it away from the hottest parts and you're good.

Full undertray made of coroplast is next on the list. Will continue from the factory undertray back to a diffuser cut into the bumper hopefully. Possibly deleting a silencer or two to gain clearance around the hot exhaust.

I'd rather use something that could handle higher temperatures than coroplast does, to make a full underbody pan. Unless I could get some thermal insulation around the oil pan and the exhaust pipes in order to avoid damages to the coroplast.
