The coroplast is rock solid, and I used aluminum over the cat and it's not discolored after half an hour on the road.
I mounted a steel bracket for the first sheet at the back (which I had laying around) and the second sheet mounted to a bracket behind the cat, and the sheet of aluminum over the cat screwed into the front bracket already in place for the front aero panel.
The entire car has a smooth underbody now, I'll see how it fares, and what kind of affect it has on mileage.

Nice job, Lookin very good. I am envious of you even willing to smooth over the exhaust resonator and cat. I only have access to coroplast and I dont trust it to run on hot components anymore (was willing till I learned with the rear pan that it melts a bit after only a short drive when in contact with piping).
