Or sand bags at the base.

I took it to whole new level lol I decided when I bought my home of residence it would need a nice spot for the 911. Has three spaces with a two car deep section. It has a pass through for course access. Technically, I’ve baby proofed the spot to make sure nothing is around it. I even removed the fluorescent lights above my 3rd spot since I’ve heard they can pop out of the housing lol. Not taking chances.





Hoping I get a couple TYD production photos to blow up and mount on the walls. Plenty of space to start getting some wall art started.

I had a similar garage situation a few years back when I was storing a 911 in my father's garage. I found having the car covered along with a thick cloth sleeping bag draped over the potential impact area solved the problem.

Good Luck!

Depends on the force, PPF does absorb lots of impact. We just had record hail here and cars with full ppf next to a same car without ppf will show less dent damage.

If the paint is saved then rest is PDR work. If you're close with PDR guys they charge as little as $30 per dent. Not to bad.
