how to protect underneath of front bumper from scratches?

Does anybody know of a product to protect the bottom of my Mazdaspeed front bumper from getting scratched? I've just had some scratches from steep inclines and parking bumps repainted on my bumper and I was wondering if there is anything to put underneath to protect it. The Clear Bra seems to be for protecting against rock chips on the face of the front bumper.

Stop hitting stuff.

Seriously though, I've beaten the crap out of the underside of mine and no one can see it.
Its just a thing you are going to have to live with.

Haha, what you're asking for is almost impossible to avoid. All roads are going to have pebbles, debris, etc. Just drive slower.

I have it and it really saved my ***. I went too far into a spot and hit the curb slightly, but when I got out of the car to see the damage, there was no just some rash on the foam. The foam absorbed the impact and acted like a cushion for the bumper. For only $10, it is completely worth it.

Cool I'll try it too. $10 for some garage door bottom seal and 3M double sided tape seems like a good mod to protect the bumper. Thanks! Funny though that the link was to another forum which linked to Evolution forum which linked to SRT forums. Haha.
