I recently got the trunk lid from Feather Light, and I'm worried about the trunk wobbling while I'm going down the road(from the wind). I'm using 6 Dzus pins (3 per side) and four on the fins (2 per side). I'm thinking of adding some 2-inch aluminum flat bars from the driver's side to the pass side to give it some added strength on the back of the deck (2 across and 2 closer to the center connecting the two that are going across). Looking for opinions, is it too much or not enough? (pic for reference on how thin the glass lid is)

I think your plan is fine. I would add 2 fasteners across the top edge of the trunk. 1 each side halfway between ridge and outside edge.
