How many aluminum brackets and where? Three on each side behind the curve?
Of course! I am yet to see a spark show from the air dam dragging

I'm unsure how the shape will affect rebounding. I t has done good so far. I have made contact 4 times since my last post from a random dip in my girlfriend's neighborhood. No damage at all, it looks the same.

IIRC, there are 6 aluminum brackets holding the front of the top piece in place. Where the second layer starts closest to the middle, there is 1 bracket to keep that edge from folding inward.
