get samples , the diamond plate sample I got was the hard plastic and they were just not hi quality .
I like the rubber ones much better .   Mine have raised dots on them  red and black race checker patern . My salvage yard office  is all red white and black checkered flag racing patern .

I installed the diamond plate Race Deck tiles about 6 years ago. They are great. Extremely sturdy and have had zero problems with them.

I watched the installation video on RaceDeck's website.  The snap-together plastic looks sorta flimsy & would seemingly sound hollow, as others have suggested.   Rubber tiles would seems to be a more solid soution.

That might work for the mopad, but it would take a lot of tile.  I would guess the Mopad to be about 500 square ?  What does this stuff cost?

There are a few options on car guy garage.  Vinyl, polyprepoline, etc... so you have options on tiles.

I'm taking mine up.  They don't recommend using jackstands on them.  They look OK, easy to install, and hold up well but time for a change.  I'm going to reuse them elsewhere I think.

I think I'm going to go with a good garage floor epoxy, after a really good prep.

So these would be for a cosmetic look since jack stands and jacks would damage them? I was always wondering about spills and leaks on them when it seeps within the seams  :scratchchin:

Well got my RaceDeck tiles installed in my add on section of my garage.  Snapped them down in under an hour in the small 4 X 18 section I bought.
Nice & heavy duty product (rolled my full loaded 1500 lb+ tool box on them without a hitch...not sure how a jack stand would hold up though)
One day Ill buy the rest of the tiles to do the whole garage.  For now in the spring Ill repaint the floor in the car area.

Looks good! are they expensive?

Oooooo! Ahhhhhh! Looks good!

I'm more interested in how you added onto the garage though, esp. the roofline portion.

Very nice!! I recently added on to the left side of my garage, as well!!

Would have loved to go bigger but still wanted to save some back yard space (40x100 lot)

Did you pour a new slab under the Charger?
Did you put a header in along the top of the wall that was removed?  (you had to have put one in i suppose)
