Default Decorating the home of the F !!

Decided to jazz up my garage . Was looking for kind of a gallery feel. I know it's not Jay Leno's garage but I like it . In the end the garage is the entrance to the home really and is also easily the nastiest, ugliest, dirtiest, and most neglected part of most homes . I think my ISF likes it too. Just glad the wife didn't give me crap. Hung up track day pics, old magazine features for my cars, and some photos I took myself of my old cars ,and some Concours de elegance pics I took of a 38' Bugatti and some of the new Pagani . I painted the walls and had the floors coated last year . Hope you guys dig !

Cool. They were Readers Rides features for my G35 and GS350 ( G35 Super Street once and GS350 was in Modified magazine and Super Street)

Its a stunning machine in person. The Carbon fiber one I had a chance to get pics of was mind blowing.

Thanks. They even had one level higher for gloss.I didnt want too get crazy but I wish I got the glossier finish.




Thanks guys. I was bored, had some wall space and was amazed that you can have 20x30 prints made at Costco online for $9. Frames at Walmart were maybe $200 . I think I spent maybe $300 on the pics, used left over paint on the walls , and the floor cost less than a Joe Z exhaust. I did the paint the same color as the interior of the house and did the floors in the color of the tile and furniture in the house. In the end I really just wanted to feel like I was parking my car inside my house and not in a garage

Very nice.

Hope mine ends up something like yours.

I'm hoping to install a 4 post lift in mine as well!

Just have to bide my time, as there are plenty of jobs in the house that take priority(that's what the wife told me! Lol).

Must be nice parking your pride and joy in there.

Thanks for sharing.
