Pulling this thread back from the dead :-) I am facing a similar problem in SF with a GT3 Touring. Interesting to know how the aluminum ramps worked out?

Thanks
Ben

I am in the same boat with a newly acquired .1. I did not think I would have an issue; however, I can get in the driveway fine, I just can't get out without a big scrape.
Thanks for the thread, I will post whatever solution I eventually come up with.

Default Hello. Looking for some ramps just like yours.

Hello, looking for some ramps just like yours. DiscountRamps sales guys were of no help. Wondering if you might have a contact name or info on the ones you got, or if you got your drive fixed if you might want to sell yours. The double-knifed edges are nice. They look well done. Really need a similar solution and having issue finding a legit solution. Thanks so much 👍

Well, I made myself feel better by thinking this would not have stopped me from getting the car anyway. Nevertheless, the GT3 was banished to the outside driveway for a few days. Then for a few weeks I made do with a couple of 2*12 planks and a couple of Race Ramps. Now, I am using a pair of aluminum ramps custom made by Discount Ramps for a very reasonable price. Longer term I'll regrade the area, but that's a project for another day. What we won't go through for our passion for these cars!

Why I can't use the Cup chin spoiler... its 0.5" lower than stock (stock shown here)

These ramps are 108" (l), 1.75" (h), 12" (w) and weigh about 38 lbs each...
