wow, thanks for your support !

I took the car home (didn't finalize the paper work yet) and guess what ? I've got a bit of clearance issue - see the picture. My driveway is pretty steep and I've got only about 0.5" space or so. If I drive straight up,

Once we finalize the deal, I will definitely post some pictures.

Do it. We only live once... If it's in your budget and wife approves should be a no brainer. Buy a few replacement splitters and buy that joker. I would , but manual for me pls...

Get a new house.

Seriously though, my '99 with the Aero kit scrapes on my driveway unless it get the angle just right. I have learned to adapt to the needs of the car.

As to your original question, as long as you're comfortable with the cost, do it!

Looks like you have plenty of room to angle it in. 1/2" is plenty of room. I'm working with about 1/4" and have only scraped it once.

That is one of the coolest 911s ever made. Way to go! Your wife is a keeper.
