Suggestion for garage flooring?

Hi Guys, I'm moving into a new house and the driveway is just a bit too steep to be comfortable. I'm worried that I'm going to keep scraping it on concrete and think if I get something made from plastic or rubber it will be less of a problem?

Have any of you used any of the garage custom flooring solutions to minimize possible damage to the front spoiler?

Any suggestions?

Sorry, that was silly. Rather than think about the flooring, I'd try to fix the ramp angle. Safest solution in the long run.

If the gradient issue is near the curb, then you may want to consider a curb ramp. There are a variety of these kits available on Amazon as shown in the following link: http://www.amazon.com/BRIDJIT-Expand.../dp/B0042HOE5O

Hope this helps!

Once you deal with the scrape issue look at "checker boarding" the floor with traditional black and white or other colors. 2'x2' look great and are easy to keep clean.
