The car is nice, but I can't stop staring at the garage floor. Maybe I miss the '70's too much. Regardless, is that an interlocking tile? Story, please.

Race Deck interlocking tiles. Look close. The open channels let water and dirt drop below the tile. I run a vacuum over the floor every few months.

Center caps that fit the wheels? Where did you get the Jaguar style?

Just a question on the 303. I looked at autogeek and see there are 2 different 303's. One for vinyl and one for canvas tops. Do I assume you used the canvas type and how did you apply it.

303 fabric guard poured into a plastic cup and dip paint brush . Used almost the entire bottle.

I bought mine 3 years ago at Costco to cover up my 35 year old dirty, cracked, and uneven concrete slab 2 car garage floor. Wow! What a difference! I couldn't believe it was the same garage. They have held up very well. Highly recommended.

I used all black tiles, easy snap together installation except for cutting tiles to fit around corners. The finished tile floor "floats" - it's not glued to the concrete floor, and water drains under the tiles and eventually evaporates. Never any odors. The only problem is keeping the tile floor clean because tires bring leaves and dirt into the garage. I use my electric leaf blower every few days and occasionally mop the floor to remove the tire marks.

A great product. Durable, attractive, and worth the cost particularly if you can do it yourself.

Bill:

The XKR looks great. The Braelins look so much better than the OEM Selena wheels. Good choice. Hope you got good service from Tony and 1010.

Glad to hear the 303 Fabric Guard method/process worked out for you.

With the CTEK you will be good to go for the winter. You won't experience any battery issues.

The garage floor looks awesome. Well done.

Enjoy the XKR.

Always here to help in any way I can.

We own an awesome automobile.
