Default A new garage floor for my IS-F to sleep on...

I haven't posted in a while so thought I'd share something I spent Superbowl Sunday working on...now my IS-F has a place to sleep on instead of the carpet Got all of this stuff from Costco online and quality looks to be really good.




oh this was BEFORE the race floor (installation really was a snap!)

Nice. I wish I had motivation to fix up my garage.

Looks good. I'm just getting ready to epoxy my floor. Wish it would warm up here in Texas though. Never thought I'd have to say that.

But seriously carpet's a whole nother level. Do you do much work in there or is just merely for parking duty? Those walls are BRIGHT! Looks like a nice home for such a beautiful car.

That looks pretty neat! Good job!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around having carpet in the garage to begin with!

The garage has two "areas" to work on cars. The first spot is your standard expoxy/concrete type floor for working on dirty/wet stuff since it can easily be swept up.

The 2nd area is carpeted and we use it just for parking or doing light work on the inside of the car - it's nice just to be able to see the car sometimes while working at my desk (wifey thinks I'm nutz..haha)

Makes perfect sense for any car enthusiast!

If I had an IS-F I'd probably want to look at it all the time too!

That's much better than carpet.

thanks man, the carpet was starting to get dirty as to be expected and the tile is so much easier to clean

This picture was taken from my desk right after we got done painting. Took us amateurs forever and now I have so much more respect for those professional house painters that did our interior! sooo roomy!

Thumbs up

That's a great garage! And that's a nice list of transportation, too! NSX, S2000, and then, some days you have to take the 'Bus! You've got tough decisions to make every morning. Congratulations!

Well, it was probably difficult because you forgot to hit that big red Easy button sitting on your desk . Kidding...I know house painting can be quite labor intensive, especially if you're not going with white!

The walls look great
