Still debating what to do for the floor. The garage is so insanely dusty that I am not sure an epoxy or hard top would work.

what kind of lights did you order duude?

12x 4ft led strips at 6500k. I plan to hook them all in unison and use a Google home to turn them on and off. Question is if I want to mount them top down or at a 45 degree angle from the rafters.

If they offer diffusers, id check em out. I love the LED lights but they can be harsh on the eyes.

I've got old diffuser film I could use if needed once I get them installed. For detailing, is it best to have them facing directly downwards or at 45 degree angles on both sides from the rafters?

I had one of my car pics transferred to a tee shirt.

That’s borderline being a “RedNeck”

Looking good though

I figure I advertise for everybody else by wearing their tee shirts, I might as well have my car on one.

It would probably look better without the lettering. And it was only $20. I figured what the hell, I wanted to see how it would come out. It actually looks really good in person.

Naah, it would need to be a piece of chit truck like the one that always tries to race me with a tag that says "1FAS53".

12 fixtures? Be sure to read how many you can daisy chain together.

Thats gonna be a LOT of light. May want to put half on one switch and half on another.
