Default scraped the rear end

I pulled into a steep driveway this afternoon and scraped the rear end on the pavement. I see no damage to the tail pipes or body work. 2013 V6. What'd I likely scrape?

the plastic cover for the emmisions crap under the space where the spare tire would normally go or maybe the mufflers? What is the lowest part of the car in the rear?

+1, I have scraped that thing a few times, the EVAP cannister cover.

The good thing is that's what it's there for: to protect the evap components underneath.

I was going to buy a flashlight on the way home but forgot. I'll take a look under there tomorrow.

I once drove my Taurus over a curb and then drove 50 miles while the transmission fluid drained out. That was a fun evening and a 50 mile tow. Under $200 for a new pan and a transmission tune. Going to stop and take a look next time that happens, though
