I had this problem with my previous house and my CF Splitter. I think it would depend on what model you have. If it is a base, I would think going in at an angle would suffice. You may hear some scraping, but most likely the flexible spoiler underneath (not a big deal). If it is a widebody with either the plastic or CF splitter I imagine it will take some damage. Best thing to do is get the car and see if it scrapes. You could always buy a wide fence picket or two to use as a ramp for a temporary solution until you find the permanent one. The plastic curb ramps are made for a specific profile so make sure they will work in your driveway. They can be left loose which IMO would be inviting someone to steal them (about $300 I think) or you would have to set them out and take them in every time you wanted to drive the car. They can also be anchored, but I would check with code compliance and your HOA (if you have one) before I did that. If code comliance/HOA will allow it, I would recommend the asphalt "Curb Ramp" it is a "permanent" ramp that would fix you issue, if you don't mind the appearance. I was going to use it on my previous home, but my HOA shot me down.

The only way I see it "could" work is to put them down then remove them again. Seems like a huge hassle/inconvenience. I would more than likely look at a long term solution.

Throw a 2x6 in front of the rise and it will lift the car enough that it won't scrape at all... Problem solved.. If your afraid of someone moving the board, then secure it with Tapcon screws that are made to go into concrete........WW

Here is one for the plastic ramps. I have found cheaper ones, but these seem to be the market leader:

Screw the angle idea. Sell the house and buy a new one. You obviously have loads of money because you are buying a Corvette. I hear that all the time from people, loads of money, ya right...

My driveway looks about the same. If it's only the rubber air dam rubbing don't worry about it. Mine makes noise all the time. No problem.

Depends on if its a base model or grand sport/z06. The base model should make it at an angle, GS or Z06 no way. The first time I brought my GS home it took me over an hour to get it up the driveway and a bunch of lumber. I used the lumber for the first week then had the sidewalk and aprin replaced. Good luck.

Well, he did. But I was also saying it don't look too bad because my driveway looks about the same and I have no issues going in or out on an angle. The worst that happens is the air dam scrapes a tiny bit at the curb edge once one front wheel is off the driveway and the other is still on the driveway. Even on an angle. That was the first thing I looked for when buying a home.
