Reinforcement good in any case.

It gets stiffer with less surface area you have, and wobblier the farther out you go. So it should be extremely stiff with lots of fasteners for the under body. For the side wheel skirts it should be extremely stiff since it’s just a 2 feet by 3 foot area. May weld a little steel bar into the center though just Incase. Only way to bend it would be if someone came up and kicked it hard or something
I also ordered a big black acrylic sheet to do a new front belly pan. The OEM one has a few tears in it from running over things in the road. Literally ran over a stump in the road in east Portland. They don’t call it stump town for nothing!
