thyne,
please grow up and remove the personal comments from your posts.
(it's really not about you so quit getting all flamed and out of joint.)
maybe you cna show use detailed pics of your successfull pan?

now back on topic.....
when you see factory pans, you'll notive that the plastic has bumps and curves thru out the piece. this is to create rigidnes into a flat piece of plastic.
Vibrations are created by the plastic because it is flat.
you had several exposed plastic edges that could catch the air.

I have done this successfully over the last 58,000 miles. (not sure how long others have)
I have been to 100 mph successfully.

I believe i have posted a picture where the force of the air peeled back a strip of Gorrilla Glue Duct tape.

I have yet to see a successfull underbelly pan that was made uot of metal.
Why do exrta work to secure a material that is inferior?
my front coroplast panel is 68" x 39" and is only secured with 3 zipties on a piece of aluminuum angle bar.
I cant inagine how thick a piece of metal would need to be to accomplish the same thing.
And why do I want multiple (10-20) mounting points?
If I need to work on it I want it to be easy to remove.
