Diamond skid plate

Hey everyone, just got my FnF1s and am ready to drop it!

question though, I have really shitty roads around here and would prefer not to ruin my kit right away, that and I want to go looowwww.

Would it be possible to install some kind of diamond plate skidplate on the bottoms of the lip so that they don't rub? naturally it wouldn't be in plain site, and only if you were under the car you'd notice, but wouldn't that make it less likely to crack or chip?

Where would it mount to is the question...
I don't think it would attach well to the front bumper as its kind of weak?
I'm worried it might pull off if you go at the wrong angle...
I would be interested in doing this too.
Mine rubs if I enter a steep underground parking lot ramp over 5 km/h.

The roads where I live are good - If I go slow over speed bumps in parking lots (the ones a foot big and half a foot high) im perfectly fine. On steep exits - like 45*, I just wait a bit for both lanes to clear and take it wide - then nothing will happen. Its just not nice when something touches on a speed bump and you wonder is there something you can do... When I put on the 19"ers I'll jack her up many an inch (Super Streets), so they don't rub + clearance. I've seen stock bimmers and G35's hit in some places, the way I drive I've got nothing to worry about.

x2 or you just gotta deal with the side effects of scrapin, there is no such thing as going low and not scrapin (there is but then driving is no fun , cause you are the slow ass slowing down for every little pothole)
