How bad is it if the car bottom out often?

[EK4 hatchback]

I know the car is made out of aluminium alloy therefore it won't rust or anything. So what is going to happen to the aluminium alloy after scatch?

Already huh?? Even though it won't rust, and the car chasiss is kind of stiff... I will still try to avoid the scraping. What kind of scraping you usually encounter with?? See in Normal front engine car, the exhaust (especially aftermarket one) would be the first touching the ground or else it's the Front lower spoiler or at the rear it will be the muffler... But on the NSX, you don't have anything underneath to alarm you that "you are there"...

I will still slow down and try to maneuver it instead of let it scrap...

NSX's really don't bottom out unless you high center it and that is hard to do unless you go off road. With the limited cleareance in the front it is almost impossible to drive the front wheels up and over somthing that will scrape or hang you up in the middle. The aluminum can corrode if the undercoating/paint is damaged but unless there is a source of salt; road deicing or ocean not much will happen with only fresh water.

Or drive over a particular nasty commercial driveway.

I have the analog cell phone and my provider is in a strip mall. The exit is an asphalt hump immediately followed by a drop into the cement ditch that carries water between the parking lot and the road surface, which climbs again. Getting out can scrape the middle pretty good. I haven't tried it since I lowered my car.

I did hit the front pretty hard on a good dip at an intersection once - the front has some little skid plates (?) that saved me there.

I tried to aviod scrape the bottom but i scrape the bottom everytime i getting out of where i park. It is just like how wilsonp describe. I am still trying to find a solution for the problem. My car is lowered with H&R spring with bilstein shock and the bilstein is adjust to its highest setting. The car current height look pretty good so i don't want to rise it up. Maybe finding another parking spot is a better solution.........thanks guys.
