So I was under my car taking the cat's off (got the Berk HFC) when I noticed a bunch of scrapes on various plastic parts and some metal braces. I've had the car for a little over two weeks and it has about 2200 miles. The worst damage was to the right rocker panel/side skirt. It is scratched really bad, like someone took a cheese grater to it. The splash guard behind the left front wheel is pretty bad too. You cant see the damage unless you are lying on the ground but I know its there and it bugs me.

Not sure if this happened at the dealer before I got the car. It is very possible that I was the cause of the damage. I am not used to such a low car. I know I have heard some plastic scraping on the ground when I go into a friends driveway but I assumed that it was the chin spoiler. I'll see next week if that is where it is happening. I have tried many different ways of going up the driveway to not make it scrape. I thought I had it figured out. Guess the car will stay in the street when I go over there from now on.
