Plywood weighs a lot more than plastic.

Yea but I can make one for 1/10 of that price lol I could even make one from a sheet of real cf for less than that, talking of cf would 2mm thick cf suffice?

think of an undertray, they aren't very thick at all and are made of plastic, and they don't fly off (if that's what you're worried about.

Use concrete, won't make a difference just sat on your drive. Most wind it gets is when a cat walks past.

Aliminuim composite, two thin layers of alley with plastic in the middle..... I used that for mine.
Its strong, fairly light, fairly cheap and will bend not break if you hit a curb or in my case if someone pushes the car into a four post ramp........

It's true what they are saying. No point in doing all these extra things with out going out on a track and seeing how it behaves. What happens if you do even more things and it handles odd. You'll have to remove stuff till it feels right.
