Just gotta be extra careful. I'm not bummed out because I expected it lol
Go over speed bumps at an angle, one wheel at a time. I scraped a lot but minimized it by going over bumps at an angle.

Wait until you get coilovers and scrape on the smallest bumps on the freeway.

I don't even worry about speed bumps.. random dips and bumps on these sh!tty SoCal freeways are what gets me LOL.

I keep thinking about making some sort of shield for this very reason. Something small, half moon shaped, maybe painted black so you cant see it to cup the lower part of the cans. Just to help with small scratches like this. Obviously it would do no good if you hit something really hard.
