Actually, yes I did think about poly/lexan as an option. Whatever I use I plan on bending the edges for a little "kick-up", which should help stiffness. However, this tray will not be supporting any weight (I have other ideas for that), but I want stiffness to prevent flexing with the undercar air currents. It's just hard to beat aluminum for cost to weight to stiffness ratios.
