You are not putting enough angle. Come in like your going to parallel park your car, and then at the end SHARPLY turn into it. My driveways are worse than yours, my car is lower than yours, and I get in.. it's all about the initial angle when your tire hits the ramp.

You will have to sell your house...it isn't practical anymore for your car modifications. Unfortunately if that drive causes a problem, your options of finding one that doesn't are greatly reduced.
I know some people that bought a bed and furniture that wouldn't fit in their house and had to put their new purchase in storage. That was the reason they gave me for listing their house for sale.

I don't know if that ramp you posted will help. Thats more for people that have a bump where the street meets the driveway. From the pics it looks like your hitting where the driveway meets the sidewalk.

I think youd be able to get it with more practice. Your probably going to scrape no matter what trying to get on, but atleast youll get on. They call me slantmaster lol, let me get at it

go to the DIY for race ramps. if you make a really long version of that it will allow you to slowly climb up your driveway. the wood should cover your entire driveway. i used to have this problem with my spec-v so i used some 2x4's and made it work. if you have anymore questions on how to build it pm me.

Nismo V2 and Tanabes are going to scrape all the time regardless of how careful you are.
Maybe it's just the pics, but that driveway doesn't seem that steep at all. You'll likely encounter more problems during regular driving.

The problem with yours is that V.2 front, its damn long.

dont you need a permit from the city for cementing the driveway/sidewalk ?? correct me if im wrong.. if not then just cement it to cater towards your car
