    Thanks.

    Nica,

    The tiles are great. The brand is RaceDeck.

    It's easy to maintain, I use simple green a stiff bristle broom and hose it down once a month. I give it a good sweeping whenever I'm going to be detailing a car at the house.

    I like it but I may have the floor epoxied and cleared in the future.

    Being as how I'm a fellow SRT-8 Charger owner, I may be a little biased, but still... Your car looks awesome!!!

    The flakes are jumping off the paint and the car now looks like a mirror, great job

    See I've been thinking the same thing, I've been thinking it would be best to go the epoxie way but I'm not sure......so why are you going the epoxi way?

    I just think epoxy with a nice clear would look alot nicer.

    They're Nitto Invo's.

    The pics are deceiving, there's plenty of tread left.

    Check out u coat it. Its the same as professional coating but you can buy it to do yourself or hire them. it's a franchise. Better quality than the cheep ones from home depot. i think it costs about 1500-2000 for our 4 car garage

    Awesome Car!! Nice reflection shots 2! I'm going to show my buddy this thread and make him sick, he has a all black R/T with the SRT upgraded interior, but it doesn't have near the depth your black has.

    Nice Job!

    I used on of these epoxy kits from Home Depot on my garage floor about two years ago. It was the one that comes with the little plastic flakes you can sprinkle on the top of the paint after it's applied to give the surface more grip. Two years later, and the epoxy has thinned out in several places almost down to the concrete. Save the 150 bucks you'd spend on one of these HD kits and use it toward a decent coating.

    Goodness, 65 miles each way to work? That must hurt!

    The Charger is looking fantastic though, nice work!
