my shielding is ripped off and i have no idea where it went.
i went over those spikes that dont let u go backwards, but those spikes were on a speed bump too! so it cut up all my undercarriage.
Let's see it! I didn't know those spikes can do damage under the car like that.

What did you do about the B-pipe? Custom?

I only scraped my exhaust one time, REALLY BAD. I never made that mistake again. I know where to drive now lol!

I thought I was busting the transmission pan or something when I went down that driveway, and my bumper (stock) popped off a couple of screws. It was funny at the time!

Yeah this is a thread that the guys who can and appreciate driving low can definitely relate too. No real damage for my undercarriage other than a thin clamp becoming loose after scraping a speed bump at a meet last year. It eventually fell off and caused a section of the exhaust to rattle until I put in a new clamp.

nothing really custom..i jus replaced that section that needed attention..i dont wanna get anything fancy under there because of how much i scrape..i have the apexi ws2..but thats mainly for cosmetics..eventually i will jus replace that whole piping all the way to the catback jus so it looks cleaner..but its not a big priority for me at the moment
