Well, given the small issue of clearing the front chin spoiler with ramps, I went with a floor jack and jack stands. I feel committed now. But, I assume your advice still holds...just put jack stands in the front and forget lifting the rear at the same time.

You just need some low profile approach extensions (or some 2x lumber)
Raceramps makes a nice (although pricey) low approach ramp set-up. I've had these (some cheesemo brand) for 30 years..

Nice, though my wife would rather me risk being crushed under the car with jack stands than have me bring those ramps into our condo to store them!
