Steep driveway woes

My driveway it too steep. No matter what angel I come in, forwards or backwards, my front bumper will scrape. Going at an angle helps a little, but extreme angles are even worse for some reason. Short of regrading my driveway, does anyone have any good solutions for this? My city will not allow me to put wooden 2x4s since it looks ghetto, so I am looking for something a little more elegant.

The Bridjit Curb Ramps look perfect, allowing for water drainage, but don't look like they would solve my problem, since it's the overall grade not the gutter that is the problem.

I've also thought about calling Public Works to get them to pay for it, since my car is technically damaging the sidewalk a little bit. Anyone have success with that?

This guy had the city redo his driveway apron, but it looks like it didn't solve his problem, and he went with Bridjit.

I use these Race Ramps.
Works like a charm and are really light weight.

Thanks for this. I wonder if it's too portable and would be stolen, considering the price that seems likely.
