Default Scrape Pan anyone?

I was wondering if any static or bagged LS4 owners have fabbed up a scrape pan of sorts to protect ones oil pan because of the lack of ground clearance? The oil pan doesn't sit super low on my ucf10 but i would like to have something there just in case because i already have a few gouges from the the terrible roads of Downtown Seattle. In addition to that i also plan on going a tiny bit lower in the front and since I'm at static ride height i can't exactly raise my car up when i see a speed bump or some irregularity in the road.

i scrape mine but don't have it TOO bad right now, my exhaust+frame though is getting scraped up pretty bad.

provided you use the front crossmember as the mounting point and a reasonably strong piece of steel (3/8"?) you should be fine.

i was even considering using some starboard or UMHW so it slides easier...
