Thanks Guys,...appreciate the Kudos.

I really did build the garage JUST for the car,..but it turned out so well,..that I sometimes have my buddies over and we play some beer pong in there. LOL The epoxy floor and floor drain make clean up a breeze. Hose and squeegee.
I put the car in my other garage while we're out there. (have a 2-car attached to the house that serves as my storage space, parking place for my truck.)

I am leaning towards an epoxy seal for my garage. Did you do it yourself? Any tips?

Well if you look at my garage project i had an E36 M3 up there before and a Honda Accord below. The exige def allows for more room below as i can put the lift to its top lock position.

OK here is the photos to show how the door doesn't hit the front windshild. Not even close.

MrRoboto · 05-01-2009, 08:04 PM

^^^Got it now. Very cool setup!

Just used the Quickcrete epoxy system from Lowes. (Insturctions are pretty easy to follow)
Wasnt too bad to put down. I would recommend buying the extra jars of the speckles (if you like the speckled look) because the amount that comes with the kit is barely enough,..and its so sparse that it doesnt look too good when you're done. The more speckles,.the more it looks like Granite IMO.
I went over the speckled finish w/ 2 coats of the quickcrete clear top coat. Def do the Clear top coat if you put down the specks,..as they will lift up and discolor if you dont seal them down with the clear.

Here's an old photo of what was in my garage back in 2003 or so:

I still have the green 11 second coupe in the middle. The other two have been gone for a while. Sort of funny to post it up with in the same thread of some of these amazing garages (and cars) but I love my neons

The garage looks the same now except the wife's 325ci is in the spot where the red neon was and my bro's '97 ACR neon is in the spot where the silver SRT4 was....getting a new built engine and turbo upgrade for some drag racing action
