If you're making your own, look under your car and see what scrapes the most, more than likely you can weld plates where the car hits and let it eat away at the plates, replace when needed.

[That's how lowriders do it]

I was gunna do something like that for my Exhaust when I get it, cuz I see my friend f- his up on every speedbump.

i'd say aluminum... but im not sure how hard/often you scrape. But its definately the lightest, and easiest to work with if you are gonna work with it yourself imo
