Do you have Battle Scars?

Do you have Battle Scars?
I've had my car lowered for about 3 months now. I was backing out of my parents house and I'm usually pretty careful and I hear this loud plastic to road scraping sound!!!! This was the first time I've actually looked under my lip and noticed I actually had alot more scraps and gashes guess I've never really heard the other times I've scraped. I'm lucky I can't see them or I would be sad, man I feel bad for my front lip.
Any of you had a bad scrap accident?

try going over differances in height at an angle, so one front wheel crosses before the other
Not only the lip, but I scrape the lower cross bar--better it than the cat~

J pipe, flex pipe, front sub frame, cusco under brace bar, that plastic things that hand down a bit in front of the front tires, front/bottom of my bumper, exhaust tips, and my lifting points for my car are bent and flat with the body. A price to pay to look good

i've repainted my front lip twice in 6 months... once was due to acura hitting a ramp... the other was from scrapes and scratches... luckily just surface scratches though... so the integrity of the lip is still flawless....
im a paint and body freak... so i fix any imperfections whenever i can..
clean paint and body > mods

paint prep- hit with some 320...prime it...hit it again with 320..paint it..

You also become a better (slower) driver because you're avoiding all the dips and bumps.

I have a scrape on my driver side mirror from impacting the passenger door of an SUV; his lane was ending and he didn't want to yield.
At least I left a fist sized dent in his door.
Now THAT is a battle scar - everyone has underbody scrapes...
