They are really quite cheap and they work as advertised, I have a ZR1 and my wife has a ZR1 front splitter and they do not hit, without them, I would own a ZR1 with no front splitter on it and my wifes car would also be splitterless, there is no way our diveway entrance would allow them without smashing them first time. I give 2
to these curb ramps.

I've seen the industrial speed bumps that adhere to the road but are these "home" models similar or are they just laying there? I think someone would steal these the 1st night you leave them out. If you do bolt it down, do you have to call the city for permission?

I bought them from here, http://www.curbramps.com/(distibuters all throughout Alberta)
They didn't really work for me though due to the lowness & length of the car and the curve of the road at my place.
As I drove out of the driveway, the front would scrape due to the road itself, some 3' from the curb.
I gave them to my parents and they work perfect for them.

And yes, I had mine for 2 years, and my parents are on their 2nd year now too. They are quite heavy, not something a kid is going to grab and carry home . . .

I purchased these
http://www.garagestrategies.com/curbramps.htm
at Garage Strategies in Edmonton. I think I paid around $150 (for two) but that was a couple years ago. They weigh about 55 pounds each. They are heavy enough that the don't move around on the street/curb during serious rain storms and nobody is going to pick them up and walk away with them. They work great for me!
