Garage art

I recently finished construction of a garage and the white walls were in need of some color. I used a picture I took from an ALMS race several years ago and made it a little "artsy" using Photoshop. I then had it printed in large format on what I'd call a large sticker. It's about 6' long. Enjoy!

Nice & beautiful ride. I wish I had room on my walls to put some art, but every square inch is filled.

I like the Carrera in the foreground more than the art on the wall. Beautiful machine.

(I like the art too)

Just curious, do the built in wall speakers play the sounds of 911 engines when you hit that little switch on the left?

Thanks for the comments. No car sounds from the speakers unless I'm watching a race ;-) Here's a slightly different angle.

Oops, guess I should preview posts before I send them. Wrong picture, the garage isn't even built yet in that one!

No offense to your poster but the piece of art I see is your car. Absolutely gorgeous.

I hung the 962 gokart body from the ceiling, does that count as garage art?

Nice looking Carrera, OP!

Too much of nothing in there. You need some tools, and grease and stuff to muck it up.

Nice car, nice pic too... I guess.

I wish I could keep my garage that clean. I have very nice epoxied floors, but cannot keep them clean no matter what.

All the dirty stuff is in the old garage, no worries. The new space is more man cave - hang out than work space. When the new garage was built I took the opportunity to replace the garage doors on the attached garage so they would match the new detached garage and had one bay installed with a high lift track/opener so as to accommodate a lift in the future.
