Default Ran over a hidden speed bump

Guys I have a question for you. I was driving thru a parking lot late at night, i was going 15 mph. I ran over a hidden all black speed bump no light on in parking lot. How much damage could this cause? I checked under the car and cant find any scrathes in the bodywork, but overall what damages can be caused?

If you don't see any damage under the car and your drivability is the same, then it should be fine.

Mine scrapes the exhaust system every once in a while, but it's lowered and some of the speed bumps around here are ridiculous. If you ever bottom out and it is really loud, you might want to have it checked.

Since you said you couldn't see anything scratched underneath your probably fine.
