I think the deciding factor here is what DF is likely to be created. In racing it is the goal, and not a full negative result (pun intended) here I suspect combined with how the panel is supported and what the mounting spans/frequency is, and what effect any ambient heat (exhaust, etc) will have on the panel to weaken it.
Some flexibility might be a plus in helping have a favorable outcome with the occasional road debris.
My application I'm seeking DF first then drag reduction, I'm leaning towards 8mm CF/kelvar honeycomb custom fitted/shaped w/HT epoxy.
