Default Stage 3 Aero and steep driveway..

I'm Moving into my New House next week and despite what I told the builder the entry to the driveway is rather steep. My friend tried to get his Z07 in and it was scraping the splitter, I don't believe he came in at enough angle but still think scrapping with be unavoidable. Anyone come up with a solution to do to the driveway? I seen some semi permanent rubber mat type piece but cant really find it now, and some kit that you add to the street to build it up but don't see and reviews or completed jobs. Did anyone have the same dilemma? Thanks in advance.

You need to go in and out with a least a 45 degree cut.
Two of my drives are fine but I just spent about 35k on a new drive
and 52' by 22' 4 stall garage pad. The drive removed was very steep.
I paid to have it cut down and now I get in and out just fine.
But I still need the angle.

Bought these at discount ramps. Go in and out no problems with my stage 3 splitter
They are called race ramps X tender solid extensions.

That would forever drive me crazy.

I just had the state (took over 5 years, and the whole conversation, provably close to twice as long) replace the concrete at the bottom of my paved drive. They "dropped" the sidewalk and apron about 2" (I then had to cut back my drive and able the asphalt), but no more dragging splitters or spoilers on cars.
