    Those both look very nice but I still like the black effect. I do so much work on the car I decided to not finish the floor. I really like the painted & tiled floors but my floor jacks and stands scratch my concrete. I just wish I had a higher ceiling so I could get a lift. I am getting older and humping round on the floor is time consuming and hard. I live in a little 1950's house with very little square feet. You guys are lucky to have more room!

    Very nice!!!!! My garage is set up with the tiles as well and I love it. But I have to say that buying a lift was the best thing I did to my garage and I do believe that it will pay for itself in the long run even if all I do is oil changes and minor repairs.

    Because of the lift I have been able to repair a pin hole in my driver side gas tank, replace the accumulator and clean up the fuel pump and lines to and from, oil change 2 times and fixed a noisy heat shield. And I just ordered new hoses from Peter and am now clening up and repacking my CV joints and axle and I can tell you that the lift actually makes these small jobs fun and doable!!

    Get a black lift and it will not only look great with the black boarder and checkerboard floor but will make the garage even that much more enjoyable!! Sometimes I just lift the car up and down just for the fun of it....haha

    I would like to do that but in the last month I spent over $7000,some on the floor and some to do the major on the 308 and the wife see's this money could've been spent in another way,I don't do you ......lol......I'll try next year on getting the lift,when she calms down

    I hear ya! I just put in a nice pneumatic system in and finished installing it last night and the first thing my wife said when she saw it............."what now?" I just smiled and asked her if she has picked out the color of granite for her kitchen countertop upgrade yet :)

    nice come back you're good,I wish I could think that quick,I do know she wants to go to Italy,I should throw that in when I ask for a lift,like "we could leave next month are you ready?"
