I guess I will expand even further on this since I thought about it quite a bit today. I have tested this (indirectly and by accident) a few times on the street. I have hit curbs at 5 mph, it stops the car in a jolt. I have curbed it multiple times at 10-15 MPH on the bottom side, it sounds horrible but just rubs and bends upward slightly and all is fine from there.
It can take damage. I'm not sure it would survive a crash head on above 10-15 MPH, but I don't think any front lip or splitter for this car would. These are production cars, not carbon fiber covered honeycomb monocoques specifically built for racing.
Keep the questions coming guys, we don't mind answering them
