You can get a metal engine undertray like the ARC (thin sheetmetal that wont do jack). Or you can get some of the under braces offered by GT Spec and Tanabe which will hit everything and get destroyed, but protect your undercarriage at the same time 
but seriously, if this is a real issue, buy a car with more ground clearance.

yea just for looks and cooling tho.. thats aluminum... aint gonna help you man.. you need to raise it up... i hear ya wanting it low, but thats the truth.
The part your truly looking for doesnt exist. Besides, it was a blast driving my car around missing all non essential body parts while the kit was being done... it was like a dune buggy.. its quite nice just pointing your car somewhere and driving there w out having to creep...

Unless you are planning on putting a 1/4" thick steel plate under the car, you're not really going to be protecting it properly. Any plate that you attempt to cover the underside with is going to cause problems with engine bay cooling, exhaust/cats cooling, transmission cooling.
This is one of those cases where the obvious answer is the simplest one - raise the car. You have to tune your car for the environment it lives in.

This is a Z not a jeep. Your not gunna find a skid plate that is for protection. They are all for cooling, aero, or just to look nice. Either raise it or live with it. What are you lowered on anyway? I was on megan coilovers at max low and now tein s techs for 350z, and live in Boston, this is my daily and never had an issue.

this isn't cali or texas or florida lol. a skidplate could work but ask yourself is it worth the money as opposed to simply raising the car up a bit?
