Looks good but I'd consider bolting all the way through the unibody, the self tapping screws will work loose over time and one good hit and they'll rip out.

Not so, I have had mine on for more than 3 years and have pounded the hell out of them and they are as tight as the day I put them in.
Here are pictures of when they were first installed:
Engine: Golen 4.6 Stroker, AFE Headers, 62mm TB, 24 LB Injectors, Brown Dog kit, HF Cat, 3" Exhaust
He is right about the self tappers- They don't take impacts well and they are only as strong as the sheet metal they are going into. I broke quite a few of them before fixing mine- giant pain to redrill the hole they were in.
I would recommend making some unibody stiffeners and welding them to them. Knock two birds out with one stone. (you easily posses the skills if you made those sliders).
