I have the torque and angle settings for these bolts. I looked them over carefully and there's no sign of stretch so I plan on re-using them. Worst case scenario they'll have to be replaced but this isn't a daily driver so if I have to order bolts I have to order bolts. I won't be in a bind for transportation. It's still a hell of a lot easier to work on without the brace in place. I already have new bolts for when I remove the belly pan but from what I understand, many people (and dealerships) re-use them as well.
EDIT, there's no wrestling or tearing the sound insulation either, it lifts right off.
