Well, it’s not necessarily stronger. Depends on the thickness and how it’s made (if there are ridges on the bottom for strength, for example). Carbon fibre has a greater _strength_ to _weight_ ratio, but is not necessarily stronger. Anyways, it is possible to install this and retain all or most of the factory rigidity, but you’d need to bond it to the body along every edge.
