so i was driving and an unexpected dip bottomed out my car. freaking out right now. i have no idea what this part is and if its that bad. anyone know?

 

if it still drives straight and no weird noise, you are fine.

 

do you know what part it is?

 

It's just an underbody brace. You'll be fine if you scratch it up a little bit.

 

Main thing is if your going to start to mod your car, know your budget first, then do some research, first buying the "best bang for your buck" plenum, catback, intake, camshaft, you can get really crazy with this stuff, and very expensive in the long run! Main thing is have your goal in mind, but do your home work!

 

What does that have to do with anything in OP's post?

 

Lol wrong page I guess

 

Lol I was really reading this post until I read that and was like WTF

 

^ +1 lol.

Mine's all scratched up to hell from speed bumps, you'll be fine.

 

Strike plate, isn't it?

 

Just a brace. Mine was bent a little on the front facing edge, and my mechanic just bent it back to straight-ish looking.

 

it isn't structural at all mines ground up like crazy. just think of it like as long as its taking all the abuse your important parts like the gas tank above it are safe lol
