Had epoxy with flakes at my old place and didn't like how slippery it gets either. I went with racedeck free flow tiles and have no regrets. You can hose it down to clean it too, but it's never slippery and always looks clean. Only con I can think of is if you leave your garage door open on a super hot day it does expand and buckle a little bit it goes away once it's cooled.

Seems like it would be difficult to replace an individual tile here or there in the event of damage.

Looks nice!

I went professionally installed epoxy and it failed and then went Swisstrax and will not do anything else again. Garage is always clean. I love it.

I like the look of the epoxy but it’s too slippery at times. And I had zero interest in pulling all of that stuff out of my garage so I could coat it from wall-to-wall.

The opposite. They are ribbed for your pleasure so dust and dirt and water falls through the tile to the floor and then is either absorbed into the concrete or runs towards the door due to the slope of the slab.

I can't keep torturing myself in an attempt to find the right one. Just not my bag.

I did order a filter puller from Sarkwerks yesterday. Ship arrives in port today and I'm hoping to get the car 7-10 days from now and will install all the parts I have been collecting:

Kline inconel exhaust and CF tips
P1 Seat inserts
Antigravity Battery
Trunk liners
Glass rear defuser
BMC air Filters
Phone holder
Side marker lights

And I think that's it. Counting down the days.

Is there a cheaper but still good alternative to Justin Placek's PEPITA inserts for LWBS in Europe?

I considered this however it would just drive me insane thinking about all the filth and dirt and mold? hiding under the tiles. Do you wash inside your garage?
I do a lot of washing in mine, and in the winter months here there's a lot of nasty slush that come off the cars... I may go with some type of liquid art as a replacement of my current floor...
To keep the content here Porsche and GT4 - here's a pic of my buddy washing his 981 GT4, you can also see his car up on the lift in the background in another pic... then a pic of me playing with the configurator on my hopefully soon to own 718 Spyder! ...
Yes - the floor is slippery when wet though...

Nice S2000, I sold mine to make room and prep for my GT4. I'm going to miss that car, but the GT4 should be the obvious upgrade.
