That sounds very thorough and I think it will certainly hold shape in motion and flex when it nails stuff like speed bumps. Mine is MUCH less aggressive in attachment. I drilled holes about as you have, but without brakets of any kind. I used screws for most of the holes, except one, in front of the front tow hook, which is on the driver side. On that end mounting point I used two strips of plastic insulated wire twist tie (so I can remove it easily in a towing situation). Not ideal, but convenient and it works. Yours is better, but harder to reverse on demand.

Looks good to me.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
