GTS Turbos at a damn amazing deal. Gonna run these first and see how I like them, worst case I can upgrade to the Pure Turbos and I'll still have my stock set.
Tighter than my garage and I'm using Laser Cross Hair Lights to make sure nothing makes contact. I have it plugged into one of the Garage Door Opener Light Sockets. That way it comes on and off with the opening or closing of the garage door.
The Laser Light Mounted on the bottom of a shelf, at the ceiling. What it looks like. From the drivers perspective.
I noticed too and was wondering the same thing! That's a tight squeeze.
Yeah, it's a little tight! New construction (but not built to spec) and the garage is 20x20 if i remember correctly. It's super close to the garage door right now, but the angle is a little deceptive - there's about 3-4 feet behind the car to the wall. Plenty of space to walk around, open the tailgate etc.
A full size 3 car garage is a hard requirement for the next house though, I hate not having much space for tools and equipment in here.

Now that's a neat idea. The tennis ball method wouldn't work for us backing the cars in, maybe one of these would help...

I like the simplicity of the Tennis Ball. But I've got both a depth and more so a width issue. The width can't vary by more than +/- 1.5" and a Tennis Ball just doesn't get me that kind of accuracy. I wish it did, but it don't. I also like the Geek Factor of the Laser Lines method.
Years ago (late '60's & early '70's) I worked in a shop that did VW and Porsche repairs. We'd mask off and paint "T's" on the floor at the hydraulic lifts. You'd line an axle up with the "I" and the edge of the tire with the "---" and you'd be set for the car you were working on. Used different colors for: Bugs, Bus's, Type III's, 356's, and 911's. It was a rather crude system that actually worked extremely well.

That was my first thought exactly, I was going to post a pic like that but you beat me to it.
