Maybe some pre-stressing it into a slight curve before bolting on might help there?
And if you are trying to make an intake, make a naca type duct. Less drag and less like a weapon too!
Looking forward to pics and mpg gains.

That is about what I would suggest. If you have access to a sheet metal brake, you can bend a slight angle cati-corner and make an X in the sheet. This will help stiffen it a bit. If no brake, maybe find you a couple 2x4s, clamp them together, and bend it a bit that way...
