Getting The Under The New Corvette Required Clearance

I just purchased my first corvette, a 2002 corvette c5, have not got it home yet since it is in the middle of the winter here in Sweden.

in somewhat of a worry mode right now not being sure about ground clearance since my garage has a 2 inch edge just at the door and the c5 i purchased has front spoiler and side skirts.
Biggest worry i have now is that the front spolier or skirts will scrape, so im asking here for some input.

anyone that can help me calm my nerves?



I had similar clearance issues as the slab was about 4"-5" on my garage

with my c4 corvette, until I laid down a layer of sand about 1" thick to level the area in front of my garage doors and two parallel rows of 1ft x 1ft square 1.5" thick concrete paver stones, similar to the picture posted below, the full width of the shop doors, in front of the garage doors to act like a partial ramp, thus easing access angles to gain clearance.
obviously the thickness of the sand support pad under the pavers should match the application required.
