DFW Porsche- you might consider having your door hardware "highlifted" and installing a direct drive motor. Greatly increases space above the car and direct drive motors that go along with that mod are very quiet. No need to alter the garage door itself, just the mounting hardware. Money well spent to detail the overall garage package.
Thanks for the tip. I didnt even know that was possible.

A garage with any gt3 in it is a nice start.

Your garage is perfect, it has a Scuderia inside.
