i have to drive so carefully. hit the floor many times, thankfully all the scrapes are underneath the bumper so it can't be seen.

to be honest they are quite tough kits, the bottom is very thick bodied

just to be on the safe side i've also had thin metal sheets mounted on the bottom. so when it does hit the floor it hit the metal sheeting
