Front end too low to get in the driveway.......................

My driveway has a slight incline. I bought a new Rkmotorsport front valance and mocked it up in the garage and cant even get out of the driveway without scrapping badly (it would rip it off once installed). I know one of you Camaro Ninja's has to have an idea of how I can get in/out of the driveway w/out ripping the valance off......Car has been lowered 2".

Raise the car 2"?

Approach at an angle as much as you can. The other option is buying or developing a ramp to lessen the angle. Those are really your only two options if you wish to continue parking in your driveway/garage, unless you put some height back into the undercarriage.

Back it in reverse

setup some 2x4's in the direct path of the driveway to get you over the hump and back down...you'll have to build something permanant eventually

What Bubba said.

Just mock up a temporary ramp with some stacked 2x4s or 2x6s.
Just something that you can drag outta the way if you didn't wanna leave it in the driveway full time.

My car is lowered 1.5" and my pipes scrape speed bumps.....

Best to raise it an inch and keep it that way.
