when I keep my viper at my house I have to use 2 ramps I made by gluing together several strips of 3/4" solid 'rubber' floor mats ( available at factory supply bussinesses ). A pita but cheap, they won't skid, and light enough to handle easily. Mine fit in the trunk so I don't have to take them into the garage if I don't want to.

Obviously need to see if you have enough room for the tires to hit the ramp before the lip bangs the high side or you still might have to back in.

I ended up getting rubber ramps for my driveway, as well as the cargraphic lift kit. both work great. Pm me if you have any questions.

Its in the shop right now. It was supposed to be done Monday but the weather has delayed the paint curing time. My wheels will be getting in next week. Also have the softronic and sprintbooster ready for install. We should go for a ride once im done.

If you do clear the bumper, won't the sideskirts hit? that triangle looking part closest to the rear wheels looks really low.

I think the issue is the long nose of the Porsche. At a slope, the long nose scrapes until the front wheel is able to hit the same angle. The rest of the body seems to have clearance.
