Grabbing it in a vice and bending by hand (and perhaps with a little persuasion from a soft hammer) should suffice.
Best part is if you bottom out on abrasive surface you should get some nice pretty sparks

Yeah, I want a Ti skid plate for my big on-road car to protect the chassis, but most importantly i want cool sparks at the track when it hits the ground.
