Well if you can tie the top plate to the bottom plate it will only add to the area the force is distributed over, but that would be tough to do, be either a lot of bolts or a serious weld.
I was thinking a lot of bolts. Four of them. Plus the one in the middle holding the belt itself. I suppose a plate only in the bottom of the package tray would work as it's highly unlikely crash forces would pull the plate through the tray. I just tend to be paranoid about mounting restraint points to just sheet metal (In non-factory locations), especially after a shock absorber actually punched through and destroyed the mounting point in the back of my old third gen back in the day (Waaaay before I had the ability and the tools to fix it properly).
