Easy to make I would think. The 911 world has them. I am tired of smacking my oil pan on speed bumps.
I thought the reason why those parts are exposed from underneath is to allow air to flow through to prevent heat soaking?

In that case maybe they could be designed to still allow air flow throughout that space while being able to provide protection to all of those components and connections.
