Another solution is skid plates

Let us know if you have any questions
How much is it? Novitec crap is overpriced, is there any alternative? Something like what is available for GT3's?

Unless I missed the point, I believe that Jwad's original question about vehicle ground clearance was that it would not be able to drive on to a KW lift. The road height might be fine, but some of the lifts that are available cannot accomodate low-ground clearance cars. I have seen where people have fabricated small ramps that allow the car to drive up onto some sturdy wooden boards (a couple of 2 x 12's bolted together) that run along side the lift pads and allow the car to clear the lift pads. Then the car can be raised using the lift. I borrowed a photo from a detailing web forum to illustrate.


The steel ramps to the sides of the lift are used for low-clearance cars to drive on to the boards that parallel the lift. FWIW

[If I did miss the point, then never mind!! ]
