Is there a spray that we can use that would give the middle section more rigidness?
I used 1/4" x 1" stainless allen head bolts, washers on both sides. 5 total on the underside. Then some self tapping screws (black) on the sides in the wheel wells.

The bolts won't help the sag issue - they just help it stay on.

If I really wanted to mess with it, here's how I'd do it: find a 1/4" fiberglass rod and glass it into the interior of the lip, following the curve of it. I think you want to support it, yet add as little weight as possible.
