Underbody guard/cover?
was searchin for this topic but maybe I didnt look in the right place...so i just purchase a 07 350z touring roadster (LOVE IT LOVE LOVE IT)..anyways, running into a lil problem..my driveway/sideway has a lil ramp/hill on it and I have to come into my driveway at angle...Today, I guess i didnt angle it ENOUGH but i got a decent lil scratch under the right front frame...cant see it unless u look under but still
Is there anything I can put under or even on the front that can prevent this? like a sleeve?

So, your car drags on a high spot in your driveway, and you want to add something under the car to keep the car itself from getting scratched. Sounds like a sacrificial rub strip, like they put on the bottom of some race cars. That might work, but attaching it could be a problem. It also increases the chance the car will drag on speed bumps, etc.
I suggest you put some strips of treated plywood on either side of the high spot to keep the car from hitting in the first place. You could attach the strips to the concrete or pavement with some urethane adhesive available at the home stores.

here is the curb (sry for the shitty pic. with my phone at 10pm mountain time)...pretty normal but like it cuts up...i live in arizona and we have driveways like this so no flooding (i think)
the scratch and what I want protected is the plastic part right directly below the front turn signal

lol, you guys devour noobs on this forum, no mercy
NYC nothing you can do except park on the street maybe, or just hit up home depot for a few bags of smooth concrete mix, and a few beers like the other dude suggested.
I personally used flexible pieces of plywood I laid out in my alley garage and it worked fine, flexible enough not to break, and gave me the clearance I needed, maybe try that.
