Car scrapes going into my garage...ramp ideas?
My car scrapes when it goes into my garage (just bought a 996tt with techart gt2 front bumper with chin spoiler, the rubber type of chin spoiler). It also has techart lowering springs.

I live in a townhouse so there is a pretty heavy incline going into the garage.

Anyone have pics of ramps they have built to overcome this?

Thank you!

You can try something like this available through Griot's Garage:

Or buy splitters to put under your front lip to protect it from scraping.

Do you use more than 1 since they are only 4' wide? Isn't the turbo like 2' wider than that?
