Hi All,

Has anyone had any luck using Rhino Ramps for your S2000? I'm planning to perform the minor maintenance work myself, but I'm not sure what's the best way to get under the car.
BTW, I also have the chin spoiler.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I just use the stock jack to get one side of the car high enough to get a floor jack under the center jacking point. Then I raise the car and throw the jack stands on each side. Doesn't take any time to do this.

Not only do I own the Rhino ramps, I have the front chin spoiler, too. It is not a problem. The front will come in contact with the ramps, but just a little, and it won't mess anything up at all. You will have nothing to worry about, that is unless your car is lowered.

Happy wrenching!

I also have the Rhino ramps. They're especially made for low profile cars. I have no problems at all.

I have the Rhino ramps and a the Honda chin spoiler. The ramps are too high to pull straight onto. The spoiler hits the ramps before the tires make contact.

I had to cut a couple of 2x12 boards to pull onto first.

That's fine for lifting the rear, but not the front. The ramps are too tall to fit under the rocker panels.
