Default S2000 scraping

What are the damages to the S2000 when scraping on a speed bump. My car came really low and I wasn't used to it and managed to hit 2 speed bumps today. I felt like a part of me died on that speed bump. So what's hitting and scraping? Anything serious like transmission or drive shaft? If its just my pipes then that's fine.

Are your sure it was your body scraping? Or your tires rubbing?

If it was the body, for most cars it is usually the downpipe of the header, the oil pan, the jackstands, or the subframes.

Edit: Got any pics?

I also rub, when I'm turning or hitting bumps on the road. But the ones that hurt are the speedbumps and dips(metal sound). Thank you, I wouldn't mind if its the exhaust components.

^^ No I meant pics of the drop profile. Lol.

That's pretty low on the front end. Not sure about S2Ks because I'm only a prospective owner. But when my Accord scrapes at the front it is usually the tip of the header downpipe right before the CAT. I ended up poking a small hole in it so it had to be replaced lol.

it looks like i have about a 1/2'' lower than you, i scrap EVERYWHERE... for some reason i feel good about it for me its 100% plastic scraping--you can tell by the sound it makes. I typically just avoid speed bumps at all cost though.

oh no pics under the car. So most owners scrape plastic and some metal. For me its the lip and the plastic under the lip but on speed bumps its the metal hence the metal sound i hear. I would raise it when I get a chance to order the coilover tool. So I guess my car will never go over a speed bump again.
