Yes but the act of lightening means less stress in general. I agree think before you decide to make something out of aluminum. Maybe their is a reason why that panel is 16 gauge and not 22. As long as you take the proper precautions then going through your car and swapping out materials for lighter ones is definetly a good idea for performance and reliability.
