aero/GT3 front vs Steep driveway

This is my headache driveway
When I got this aero body a year ago, I took off the front lip and try to get straight down to the ground, but it didn't work...
So I decided to get some plank to help.
after days and days I feel tired to play with the boards.
Fortunately, I figured out a solution a week later.
Here is the only way to get in or out

Is your car lowered? Seems like a situation not very fun to deal with daily. Reminds me of the Top Gear episode where the boys had to to exit a hotel's underground car park in Paris with supercars. Not good. Glad you figured out something workable.

I have no problems to get in/out with my cayman before
I love the look of aero cup face but I hate to drive with it.

HI there

My C2S Aero has similar issue, the front splitter gets heavily scraped.

Whats is the squeaking engine noise I can hear in the video, is your belt loose or a bearing or something on its way out, you can hear it squeaking when your engine is idle.

My car is lowered with the GT3 front bumper and i just avoid stuff like that. If I know I am going somewhere like that, like some parts of DC, i dont take it..

I think the noise is not from the engine
it's from the exhuast, maybe it is too closed to the gound when I reverse it.

I feel your pain, i have the same issue and i am lowered of H&R's too. I treat the splitter as a consumerable and since mine is black i touch it up regularly. I dont hear a squeak by the way.
