byrdman,

Just take some 3/4 Shelf board from Home Depot and about 18 to 24" long and as wide as your ramp and put that in front of the ramp then drive up. That takes the angle out of the ramps but still gets your ride up in the air. Just be careful and go real slow when you back down to make sure the boards are under your tire before you go back and not sliding or they will slide with you as you back down, should work good.

later, going to Cali for a week, be back soon!

Hey have any of you guys used or had anyone use the Rhino Ramps? If so how'd you/they like it?
RhinoRamps™ 8000 Vehicle Ramps by Blitz - Part 9040020 - Advance Auto Parts
That's funny... i just bought some Rhino Ramps 12000 from Advance Auto during lunch. The bigger size (12000) was on sale for only $2 more than the 8000... $37... so i went for em! Also, i think for our G's we would need the 12000 model because of our wide tires?

Haven't tried them yet obviously, but i hope they will clear. I'm on EIBACHs. From the looks of it, i doubt it. Did an oil change in my garage over the weekend... jacking the car up and getting under there was more annoying that other cars i have done. Hoping the Rhino Ramps come through for me

This group was anywhere from Richmond to Va Beach. Anyone is welcome but most of the meets I go to will probably be in that area.

Nice pics man. I wish I could take pictures as good as that, haha. But yea, I thought some more of us were going to head to Skyline, but I think it's just me now.

Also, the pictures were taken at Lynnhaven Mall in VB. All the people in here currently are between VB and Richmond, but anyone is welcome to come out and have fun with us. Like Nosnibor said, the meets will probably be all in the SoVA area because it's where we are all currently at.

here's my verdict on rhino ramps for a G37s lowered on eibach with no aftermarket lip or bumper:

None of the painted body surface underneath the car actually ever touches. Only the black plastic shields and guards touch very slightly for a brief time. The pics below show the most that your car will actually touch the ramps. Everything after this point is the car lifting and going up in the air so no more touching.



These next ones are with it lifted






And from far away. Haven't actually done an oil change with these yet, just checking the clearance. Not as high as i'd really like, but seems like they will get the job done.

you talkin about the city lights? aka "dims" aka "parking lights" ?

if so, it's been awhile but i think those are the PIAA hyper white. i replaced the other lights in the interior with superbright.com lights. one of the back license plate lights is flickering now after 1.5 years.

the PIAA hyper white lights are a pretty decent match to the stock HID lights, but not perfect. The pic above is exaggerating.

Yea DRL/city/parking whatever they are, the ugly stock yellow ones that are on all the time.

I have new bulbs I just need to find the time to change them out. I read the install was a pain so I've been kind of lazy about doing that.
