I took a 2x12 and cut into several step lengths, staggered. screwed it together with drywall screws. that way the front facia wouldn't scrape the ramps going up. Or you can take the two little air deflectors off first.

I bought Berg ramps for $20 at Pep Boys.They are ok,but made out of hard plastic that tends to skid. I put two rubber mats under them.No scraping foward though.I'd look for a one piece ramp,Bergs are 3 pieces with the little pre-ramp and can be a pain IMHO.

I too, did this. It was the only ramp I could find that would allow the C6 to drive forward onto the ramp. All the others would drag.

BTW, to do an oil change do you need to get all four wheels up and level or can you do a correct oil change whith only the front wheels up?

Kreuzen,
Do you have an answer for my oil change Q? Will I need 4 ramps or just 2?
This is a stupid Q, but is a set of ramps only 2 ramps?

They sell them in pairs of 2...I've only got one pair. As far as an oil change goes...If you want to drain out all of your old oil, its best to keep the car level or even a little higher in the rear. I simply jack up the rear of the car with some low-profile speed jacks, to get it where I want it. Plenty of clearance...I've even read other threads where some don't even jack the car up to do an oil change...merely access it from drivers-side of the car, by extending an arm/wrench, losing drain plug/filter and going from there. I'm always doing something on the car, and personally find the ramps a great way to get fast, immediate elevation, safely. A great addition to my garage.

for $20 at Home Depot you get 2 10ft 2x12's that in 30 minutes, and with a little elbow grease, can become excellent ramps.
