Angry Should I have my car looked at?

I'm sure this has already been posted somewhere, but I couldn't find anything related so...I'll ask.

Today I went over a HUGE metal speed bump, and my car, being on Eibachs, totally bottomed out bad. The entire underbelly got the **** scraped out of it. I don't think anything came off. But, I'm wondering if I should bother taking it in and having the bottom looked at on a lift and if there are even places that will do this for me after I explain what happened? Thanks for any help.

Go to a local gas station that has a lift, and slip the guy a $20 and take a look for yourself... peace of mind.

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate' em, I'll probably go have someone lift it up when I have time or do it myself and take a quick peak.

I get slight scrapes on the undercarrage with most speed bumps.
Everynow and then I hear the terrible sound of my exhaust flange hitting the bump.
SMH and keep on driving.
You're fine bro.

But now that you mention it, I would like to see what under my car looks like now.

My car's not completely dumped, but I don't have a gap.
I scrape on many speed bumps. My Z is taking quite a beating .

Hah. I knew that much at least.
But more along the lines of what my car looks like now that it's been lowered and scraping.
