looking for low profile ramps

hey guys i have a s2000 with a oem front lip and i need to get it high enough so i can get my xbrace and just to make my life easier when it comes to maintain my car.. I bought some black rhino ramps from autozone a while back and well they don't clear my car and the front hits the ramps before they can get up the ramps. Even my tl on teins wont clear the ramps even when i lowered the tl only about an inch or so. Does anyone know where i can get some low profile ramps that will give me good clearance, and maybe that aren't made out of plastic? something more reassuring like metal? thanks

Make your own. I have the Rhino ramps and never use them because I use a set of ramps I made 6 years ago out of 2"X10"s.

So, you use a wood ramp you made half a decade ago without engineering expertise to support over 3000 pounds hovering over your head....

get some steel or aluminum, go to welding place with a design, find the angle you can clear and make them to your specs. make sure to over build them. they will ast you a life time unless you suck at designing stuff.
