I'm sure it's just the picture, but it looks like it's bowing in the middle!

That looks excellent. What a transformation.

Is it a camera setting causing the 'bow'? The Porsche pic looks strange too.

Wide lens likely culprit, Porsche pic is strange because he drove in.
Not reversed, is a Man cave after all park like one.

Excellent work OP. Cheers for the updates

Just the iPhone pano mode causing the bowing - all is normal in real life

I agree it should be reversed in but how would he get out with the car tight to the wall if he did it properly?

Reversing the car into the garage will quickly make a mess of the white wall behind due to the exhaust. Been there, done that so forward facing alleviates that issue.

Quick question for the OP. For the floor tiles did you use flexible or non flexible grout. Will be doing mine soon but reading conflicting reports as to what is best for a garage floor

don't want to soot up the walls

Flexible grout was used, can't recall which. Tiler would only use the flexible grout.
