Yeah RW Carbon has good reviews and supplies this. You pay a little more but supposedly they check fitment and quality beforehand, so you don't end up messing around like I did.

Good Lawd that's garage
The lip looks good from what I can see. Very subtle & really matches the side blades.

Hi Op, sorry to ask you about your garage flooring (Racedeck) again. I'm going to do my garage and I'm wondering do you have two colors there on your freeflow? Is that black and dark grey checkers? I wanted something like that also.

Also I got quote $2.79 per SQFT + free shipping for FreeFlow and thats already with garagejournal discount....May I ask if you got a better quote? thanks

It's just black on the border, red accent, & all dark grey in the center. It's just the way the light reflects off the tiles that makes it look like different colors.

That price is correct. With the garage journal discount you won't find it cheaper.

I love (and all of my neighbors love) the floor. I had epoxy previously, and while it looked nice for a year or so, eventually the chips/nicks started showing up - as well as some UV fading from the sun.

I'll have race deck in every garage I'll ever own

I've been tossing this one around for awhile now. I think H&R sport springs are in my future

Also - just a side note... your brake calipers are blue. Do you have a 2014 model... and did they come standard with the m sport package? I have a 2013 m sport and do not have those painted brake calipers (which I like lol)

I do have a 2014. It was CPO so I'm not sure what came standard. I consider it a very lucky find!

If I didn't have the M-sport brakes, I'd get the M-performance brake kit.

Used some thick Styrofoam towards that came in the packaging Put in towards the bottom of the backside. Works perfectly.

Sketch looks awesome! I like the ideas!

Not sure how I missed this! I love the plan. If only I had a plan when I started, it would have saved a lot of wasted time & money.

Let me know the progress. Are you on garage journal?

Looks fantastic. Love the wall color with the gladiator stuff; and the ceiling heater! At least you can work on it during the winter

For the gladiator stuff make sure to keep an eye out for specials from sears, home depot & lowes.
