Default Corvette Garage Decoration/Celebration

I did the following to my garage when I had the Velocity Yellow 2007. True Velocity Yellow color from a local auto paint store. And yes, that is a real wrench hanging from below a C6 logo in the middle of the wall.

Love that floor. I almost did the same thing but I decided it would drive me crazy that my cars wouldn't be even in the red outline so I went with a more boring design.

Some nice garages there. I'd like to see more. That was the point of this thread. Mine just had the gray speckled epoxy floor. I didn't have a lot of room to work with, as shown in the following photo.
