That's a 30 pound piece of HPDE. Are you making a skid plate?

And the weight, double ouch.

FWIW if you're only doing an air dam, try what I thought you were looking for. Real thin, real cheap, and light.

Properly fastened, unless you're doing a skid plate, 1/8" or less should be more than adequate.

Kris, HDPE is what many cutting boards, oil bottles, etc., are made from.
