Default What's on the bottom of a Civic to protect it?
I accidentally pulled into a high curb today and heard a loud scraping sound. I was wondering if I could've damaged anything.

probably just your frame it can take it, but i would listen and be alert for changes in sound and/or perfomance.

If the scrape was in the front, it was probably the 3 bolts which hold the bumper cover onto the engine splash guard. Nothing serious.
