If these cars are low enough to need ramps in the first place I don't think you will be fitting these ramps under the sideskirts... I don't think you would even bother because if you could fit ramps you could just fit a jack and save you the trouble

I built a set of ramps out of 2 x 10s for the 1st oil change on the z and they work great,
now I use these on all the vehicles, they sure come in handy. The second oil change on
the z is almost due but might not get to it since winter is here and I will be using my truck and keeping the z in the garage.

Suggestions:
- Try placing the ramps on a rubber mat
- Attaching a sheet of rubber to the bottom of the ramps
- Spray something like rubberized undercoating to the bottom of the ramp. (Test this out on something else just in case the coating turns out to harden and just make things worse.)
I use an exercise mat that I should be using for exercising.
Also, I'd suggest you attach a rope handle at the end to make it easy to carry them around or hang them up on the wall.

Here is mine. I used OSB boards like the one stated in thread start. I did cut them in 1/2s right where the 2nd board from the top is ( right at the end of the blue line). So the lower half is exactly the same as the one described at thread start. Putting them together makes it possible for me to go under and have enough room to change my oil. Makes it easier to store with the two pieces. Will add a pic of them cut later. I only use the lower half if I need to get a floor jack under the car.
