    I am sure there will be other things to worry about if I take a hit hard enough to compromise the frame rails.
    Oil pans don't write off your car forever though, unlike a bent frame - given the skid plate hangs down so low, you are far more likely to hit things that you would have cleared otherwise... how much ground clearance do you have with it? An inch?

      Yes, Maybe Less. Lets just say I have routes which have the smoothest roads.

        Fair enough. The car looks great at that height.

          Haha, thank you. I completely understand your point, but this is also my daily.
          Just so we are on the same page.
          I would never sacrifice my 2002 or my M coupes frame rails.
