HELP!!! Wife said \"garage is now nicer than our kitchen\"

I just installed a complete Whirlpool Gladiator garage system and 18" Race Deck checkerboard Floors. BTW-For VCA members, I saved big money, as both have BIG VCA discounts. (OOPS-I don't know how to load photos on forum to show)

I am still waiting for the cabinets, and some other items that are on back order from Gladiator, along with my diamond plate baseboards and crown moldings from another vendor. Bigger air-conditioning, Gladiator Refrigerator and LCD large screen TV to follow.

ANYWAY, Now I need some cool Viper stuff and assessories....

I looked online at racing and Viper banners, though all seem to have the old logo and not the FANGS logo on them.

WHERE can I purchase cool VIPER stuff, i.e FANGS banners, posters, neon clocks, lights, signage and other stuff to complete my Viper Garage?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

Where did you buy the Whirlpool Gladiator garage system to receive the big VCA discount? I am looking to put cabinets in my garage and like those a lot. Here is a pic of my cabinetless garage; I am only using shelves as of now:

It sounds like it is time to have a gourmet kitchen installed so the wife can cook you better meals.

I bought directly through GLADIATOR 866-342-4089 ask for JENNIFER.
She knows me well from placing several orders with her.
She is extremely nice and professional and knows her product.

Tell her you're a fellow Viper Club member and Mr. Steve Horvath said for you to ask for her. I enjoyed working with her.

Viper Club members get courtesy pricing and its much better value than Lowes or Sears (about 25% to 30% less).

They just recently came out with new lock and magnetic cabinet system on their cabinets, though have the same look as the old ones, and I am patiently waiting for them.

BTW-HOW DO I LOAD PHOTOS?

By the way, the NEW 24" cabinets (single door) are $98.00 each and the NEW 30" cabinets (double door) are $126.00 each.

Re: HELP!!! Wife said

Don't know if this will help out, but I was just in France and Spain, and because of their racecar tradition, they have some really neat Viperstuff like jackets, shirts and other cool stuff..picked myself up two nice jackets in graet colors and with lots of snake emblems (the new Viper emblems)and other great Viper racingemblems and writings on. They were endorsed by Chrysler Viper USA, but I am not shure if they are aftermarket from another manufaturer. You mignt be able to find them online. By the way, Dodge Viper are sold as Chrysler Viper over here, I guess we have the Canadian version with a few minor difference like lights and other small details.

Yep. Last week I ordered about $2k worth of them. When I get them I will let you know how they are. I compared them with other cabinets on the net and they are much less. One company named Baldhead (don't know where they get the name) wants like $10k for similar cabinets. You be surpised how much they could cost and they really look quite similar to the ones Costco sells.

The other cabinets I looked at were the Craftsman and Gladiator cabinets. In my opinion, the Craftsman are the best designed and make most use of the storage space. They have shelves inside each door and really can store the most stuff of any cabinet. However, I didn't really like the color of the cabinets and the work surface was just treated particle board, where as the Costco and Gladiator work surface is actual maple butcher block. I then looked at the Gladiator cabinets but did not like them. They have a pseudo diamond plate finish that just looks cheap IMO. They are well designed and constructed cabinets, but I just couldn't get over the fake look of them. Thusly, I decided to go with the Costco cabinets.

Here is the information for the diamond plate baseboards, corner moldings, and crown moldings, etc.
I have placed two orders with this company, never a shipping charge, and have been a pleasure to deal with.

TCKTPLZ, my aunt has a stainless fringe, any time she gets water on it you get stains where it drips and you have to use special stainless cleaner to get them off. I dont know if there something you can put on them to stop this, just a heads up none-the-less.

I have a Stainless steel grill, Yep, you need to use a stainless cleaner on it. I found one from Lowe's that seems to work pretty good. It has a slightly oily consistancy, and leaves the surface looking very nice and reletively resistant to fingerprints. I'm not sure if I'd want stainless in my shop as greasy/oily hands are the order of the day, but they sure look nice!

I put laminate cabinets in my shop (mostly because I got a great deal on them), they clean up easily. Right now they are yellow, so they show greasy fingerprints, but I have future plans to relaminate them a dark blue or off black with a slight texture..
