i just don't go over speed bumps with my really low cars and find a way around. Otherwise, going into parking lots that are angled are the biggest *****. I go in completely sideways and people always look at me funny but its better than destroying the car.

I scrape everything. My front bumper takes those little reflectors off the highway and if that doesn't the plastic dust shield does or the sideskirts or my exhaust.
In fact there is a constant scraping sounf from my car right now cause the plastic dust shield under the engine is sitting on the pavement if the road isnt perfectly smooth and even
you can tell im coming cause you will here scuff scuff crunch scuff scuff all the way down the street

Hey guys... I am not driving fast over bumps at all and I am talking about the middle of my frame. After going over a speedbump, it scratches for about 1 second and the sound dissapears. My front bumper doesn't really scrape... Only when I'm exiting driveways and such it does.
Sometimes I'll totter in parking structures...
I guess my main concern is if I'm damaging anything major.

I scrape. I'm not even as low as most.
I know I am not the only one that screams a profanity every time you get an unexpected scrape, particularly a really bad sounding one. I remember I was in an uneven parking lot one day and I hit so dam hard I smelled exhaust coming through my AC vent
