Well the wife and I bought a newer larger home with a nice two car garage, a nice change from our other house that only had a attached carport. Now my 2002 Z06 has a nice spot to stay garaged. We have only been here about a month and I thought that the floor would look nice in the black and white checker. I also repainted all the walls in the garage. Total cost for the tiles (they are 18"x18" tiles) was about $360. I had a friend help me with most of it. It took about 8 hours I guess. I am very pleased with the fitment and the look. :thumbs:

That turned out amazing! If you don't mind me asking what sort of investment did that run you? Looks great!

It was about $370 and about 8 hours worth of work. I do not know about the walls yet. I was maybe planning on a big Z06 emblem and/or a C5 logo maybe, just some thoughts.

Stain glass logo would look cool perhaps logo in same material as floor right in the center! Seeing a project like this one really gets the wish list going quick! :D

Floor like this and I forgot who posted the photos of the mirrors in the garage but both floor and mirrors would set any ride on fire! I personally like it, not to mention I think you said $370 for materials and most likely couple 12 packs? :D

Great job. Looks tremdendous. Sign me up! Where did you pick up the tiles? Why type? Any special adhesive to put down?
I live in Midwest, any issues during winter with ice/cold?
PS. You have great looking car also.
