Detailing ideas for your garage

This thread is to keep a list of all the great products that will help organize and beautify your garage. We NAMers love to spend time modding, detailing or just gazing at our MINIs, so it only follows that the space we spend all that time in should be functional as well as attractive.
To that end, I'm starting with listing some of the sites and products I have either used or wished for in the last few years. Please feel free to add to this thread any products you have liked and the link.

Flooring
This is what we have in our basement and execise room. It is also used for car showrooms and industrial applications. I like it better than the RaceDeck tiles. The LockTiles are made of recycled rubber and are flexible and are very quiet to walk on and easier to stand on for long periods. The RaceDeck tiles are a hard plastic and make a clacking sound when you walk on them.

We used this in our kennel, it is an epoxy coating and much sturdier than the product available at the big box stores. We've had it about a year and love it.

More flooring options, I have no personal experience with any of these products, I just like all of them and keep them in my "Garage Design" file.

Some storage ideas.
I am buying 2 of these hoists. One will be to hold the trailer (I have a small 4'x4') the other will be for various track day goodies, the EZ up, chairs, coolers, etc.

This looks handy, a shop towel dispenser. I think I'll have to get one!

This is a neat window blind, you can see out from inside but no one can see in! I love the view from my garage windows, but don't want people to be able to see if my cars are in there.

Some beautiful doors, or just some hardware to dress up existing doors.
