Garage looks great!

Over the weekend I installed H&R wheel studs with OEM Porsche lugs to replace the factory wheel bolts. Sure makes taking the wheel/tire on and off a lot easier.

Commercial grade epoxy, no idea what the actual name is. I was going to do it myself but after buying the good stuff, renting a diamond grinder, etc. it was just not worth it. I hired a local company that has been in business for 30+ years to do the work.

Wish i had a floor drain in my garage, that is a nice detail to have.

Looks great, love the cabinets.

Thanks. Garage came with one of those small round drains that only went about 2ft into the ground (french drain). Since the garage floor pitched towards the center, every winter my garage would flood after parking two snow covered cars.

Got tired of sweeping water out of my garage so decided to put a 10"x10" basin that is about 2ft deep with holes at the bottom so water can get absorbed. If it over fills, there is 2" pipe the runs outside in a slight angle.

Here are some pics of the process:

After seeing Third-reef put on a new lip, I had to get a new one also. Also an eBay lip, but just OE style. Sorry not the best pictures.

Had some 15mm spacers put on the rear BBS SR wheels to push them out a little. I'll post before/after pics when I get a chance. I'll have to look at ones I took before and take similar angles after.

Default Carbon Fiber Trims + Bluetooth Mic

Ignition key surround
Bluetooth mic in empty button by Luxury Details
More dash trim. ''Twas a pain.
Got a double din unit installed together with some CF trim pieces to add contrast against my super grey interior.

The black twists look sweet on the silver. Were those factory?

It was an optional wheel set in 2004, I was told (my car's 02). I picked them up to use as a winter set, but they turned out so nice (only 10K miles) when I cleaned them up (much to my surprise) I just had to put ps2's on them. They came w/ 10 y/o ps2/N1, so drove on them a year before fitting new tires. It's so awesome to have new tires! I have the original silver twists too, and will fit them with PS Cups soon, I think.
