Default Porsche themed man-cave garage

Hi All,

Looking for some ideas of signs to hang in garage. Money IS an issue and it’s just in garage so not wanting to spend $5k on a Martini racing hood.

Any ideas of signs to hang? Any for sale? I’m in Bay Area, CA

Ebay has dealer posters that are $20 or so each. I have a couple pics in my office of my car as well. http://www.stuttgartstudios.com/about-us-2/ will make a large printout of your build sheet.

Girlfriend has surprised me with some pics of my car I took while driving along California coast. Costco has an online photo center you can upload and then they print them out. Good quality and cheap!

eBay is a good source if you shop wisely...there is a vendor on here and over on Pelican that offers a pretty good deal on metals signs from time to time.

A few posters, a metal sign or two, maybe a tire clock, for a couple of Benjamin's you have a good start.

Something you can also do is to go Google and type in Porsche posters - then click on the images tab. Scroll down through there - click on the images that strike your fancy and sometimes it'll take to a web store.

Pelican has vintage posters reasonable. Hunziker too. eBay has giant flags.

Kennedy RPM Flags - he sold them on this site. Many are in the $20 range. I bought a nice black & white checkered PORSCHE flag from them for my garage. I believe you can search his website as well... just the name with dot com after it.

This guy made me a 3D acrylic Alfa sign and a Porsche sign and they look terrific. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ALFA-ROMEO-...UAAOSwhexb36wP

You can buy them then put lights behind. It doesn't show through the acrylic, but around the edges.

This guy makes the lighted version but charges a lot more. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-lig...IAAOSws-tbDzd9

I like the contrast with the dark wood.

That was from their website. I decided to order one for kicks today, It was only $37.50 plus ship for the small one which is 15" tall. We'll see.

You could get a piece of fake carbon fiber and cut it to the shape as a background. I've seen others selling that for $400. You could make one for $50

Thanks for the nice compliment.
It's digital painting process combined with hand painting and some, proprietary techniques, Each piece is reproduced for 300 limited edition museum canvas prints that are hand signed and numbered. If you do a search for "Alan Greene artist" you can see a lot more. You can click on images and it will populate a bunch. Here's Vic the Quick signing one of my pieces that he sells on his website. "Targa Tempest" Thanks for asking and Happy Holidays.
