i hit frame first and lip. oil pan or cats. never.

what are you lowered on, how low are you?

I usually only scrape my lip, rub my tires, or ever so often hit my frame. You must be super low then

i would consider maybe slowing the f down over bumps lol seriously the oil plan sits higher then the front lip so if you are scraping the oil pan on a regular basis, then that would mean your draging your front lip, im sure thats not the case, which means your only hitting the oil pan and cat on bumps, speed bumps, driveway, dips in the road. save the money, rather then making something to protect it, change your drving style and it should solve the problem.

believe me, im slow as hell over speed bumps. even the smallest ones. and im probably one of the chillest drivers out there. im pretty sure i know how it happened, and it was just a small incident over some train tracks when i was on springs. but yeah, havent had any problems or scraping issues since i got back from the dealership, so i guess im good!

I scraped my oil pan and it was Pawel's dad who pointed it out to me during an oil change lol. I'm pretty sure it happend when I was driving up onto a ferry. The ramp was at a 45 degree angle and from the transfer point onto the ferry is when it bottomed out and taking it at an angle didn't do anything. I have since learned my lesson and will never take that ramp again until i'm raised lol. Just a little dent and some scrapes but its still holding up as long as I don't hit it again.
