With our cars being so low, I'm wondering what everybody is using for their driveway ramps. I know the front spoilers are relatively inexpensive at least for Porsche standards but I'm still interested in avoiding hearing the scraping sounds every time I pull in and out of my driveway. What are you using? I found this on Amazon. I'm thinking of getting maybe two of them. Anybody have them?

I had the same problem with the splitter bottoming when I pulled into the garage. I recently bought Bridjit. Works great! Google Bridjit.

I use https://amzn.to/3ihkzYB bridgit curb ramps, they work great

Also have the bridjit curb ramps, we have a pretty deep curb/steep driveway combo. It sits in there nicely.

Use a Bridgit on my driveway exit, has worked great on several cars over the years. It will probably last forever.

I did see those ramps but in SoCal our ramps are typically not the rolled curb style. We see more of the 1" or 1.5" step up from the street level so those won't work. According to the Bridjit website, my driveway is less common as shown in the picture. Does anybody have any recommendations other than what I found above in the Amazon link?

Can you get a couple bags of asphalt and build it up yourself? You'd need to be out far enough for your front tires to hit the ramp before your lip hits the curb.
How about going in at a steep angle to your entry? That also usually works.

Unfortunately, I can't "modify" the ramp or street as it's a public street and I can't leave the ramp in place permanently because of HOA rules. It's one of those where I have to put the ramps in place when I'm pulling out and then put them away. I might be able to leave them out for the day until I return but leaving them there long term is not permissible.

I'm trying to avoid going in at a steep angle such that one wheel might lifts off the ground. I don't want to put that kind of flex pressure on the car especially with it being a Spyder.

I just got some 3/4" plywood and use it to bridge the angle. Kind of a pain as I have to take them out and put them away each time (car not a daily driver). I can also maneuver the car (Austin Powers style) so that I go off the edge of the drive way at an oblique angle. If I go slow enough it works, but most likely won't for those with a steeper approach angle.

I was concerned about being able to traverse the rolled curb at my driveway without scraping. What was found is that entering the driveway at a slight skew resulted in no scraping. As a result anytime there is a question as to whether the nose will scrape I traverse at slight skew. This works almost every time.

wheelchair access ramp. Chopped in half. Carry in frunk. Use when required.

simply approaching and departing my driveway at an angle is sufficient for me... and fyi a new front splitter is about $250 anyways
