hit something on the bottom today

i was backing out of this really steep driveway i had never been on and didnt even think it was like a drop off at the end and something hit the ground, what would have hit first? i looked underneath and the front and back, dont see anything but something definitely hit, i think i see a little scrape on the exhuast, maybe thats what hit

I've scraped a few times too. You'll probably be fine.

The air damn on the front of these cars hang pretty low, so you may have hit/scraped that. It sits just under the front bumper a little closer to the wheel. If you look at PQ's signature picture, you can see it sticking a little lower than the front of the bumper itself, and I bet that's what you hit.

Car is made out of a lot of metal. It can take a hit or two.

I scraped the hell out of the front fascia going up a steep incline. Peeled some of my clear bra off and scraped the paint but it's underneath so no biggie.
