i'm starting to give my garage a "face lift" and was wondering if any you guys/gals that have done stuff to your own garage. if you could post any pics or give me some ideas, i'd love to see what other people have done... i have a few ideas right now but my budget is limited so i'll have to make do and hopefully find some good deals and cheap ideas!
personal or commercial?
my own personal garage...
Do floor black and white like checkered flag, buy cool posters, get race type banners,(cut of fence at race tracks) Neon signs, race slicks in the corner to sit on, BEER FRIDGE, BEER BEER BEER, Hang old intakes and other motor parts on the walls, (bent rods and pistons always have questions around them) and old broken cranks too, right Mike? Just go in there and see where the space is and the garage will let you know what it wants. Just don't let the woman help unless she understands car guy stuff!!!!!!

but neon signs are alot of fun. we have some old ones from the club we used to own. That and metal stoney trays...they're awesome!
I've got a stoplight, walk/dont sign, 2 blownup posters of the cars, one is me autoxing an iroc and the other is a fake mag cover with the talon, some cool looking beer bottles.
adding:
vista media center pc, home theater, plasma screen.
shwag i'm looking to add:
fuel cans from any type of racing i come across,
various airbrushed parts of random vehicles
710whp/520wtq 9.95@145
i have a few signs and what not here but still looking for a few things to add to my colection... if anybody has anything (beer/car signs, neons, etc...) that they are interested in getting rid of at a decent price let me know. also, i am interested in any spudz mckenzie or rat fink stuff...
the local perma-yard sale place by me has traffic lights.
I could hook you up with a couple airbrushed shwag if you had anythign in mind you wanted done.

As far as my garage goes this is all you should need:
A race car to tinker with
beer fridge to get drunk
race banners for decor
A lock on the door to keep the "old lady" OUT.
