I love the track lighting! Can you share details on where you found it from?
I found a guy in FB who makes huge Porsche Murals, this one is the medium sized one, but it's pretty darn big. Hanging on the wall above my car, I would love to have the lighting to show it off too. Even better if it's remote operated. Pardon the mess, we had just moved in back in May when I took the pic. (I don't have anything more up to date).

Tracks and fixtures were just the cheapest I found at Lowes. They also have black.

LED light bulbs were a little trickier but I like the way these look. Not hard spots and the color is pretty neutral.

Cool, thanks for posting! Agree, the track lights look very cool. I like the idea of being able to point the lighting in specific directions.

I put in a four post lift recently and now the lift makes it very dark for the Cayman GTS 4.0 underneath. For instance I can't see well enough to wash the windshield now. I could put some of those on the two side walls (in addition to the ceiling) for working lighting for things like that.

There is nothing on the top of the lift just yet, by the time the snow flies here in Chicago the Winter Beater (G80 M3 Manual) should be here, and the 718 will go up top for the worst of the winter. (It will still likely come out for Sunny Weekend days, will have Winter Tires on it for the cold temps.)

The other good thing about directional lighting would be that I could avoid shining any light whatsoever on the hideous front grill of the M3! LOL. (I ordered it in Black to hide the Beaver Teeth as well as I could.)

@IL_Pete you may want to also look into LED lighting that goes on the 4 post lift to illuminate underneath it.

Can you advise where you purchased the Porsche lettering that you have on the wall on the side of your Spyder? It would perfect for my garage....

Here:

I paid $109 which I think is a bargain. Pretty decent quality and includes a full scale template for mounting. He also has a 9 foot set but the 6 foot is plenty big for my 600 sf garage.

Porsche Classic shows these driving gloves briefly in one of their videos. Does anyone know if they are available with "718" rather than "911"?
Or where they are available in general?

I added the racing stripe finally. Not sure if I will keep it, it has a few bubbles that I am waiting to see if they smooth out. It might have been too cold to do this install.
