Default Cool garage posters?

Moved into the new house with my wife about four months ago. Things have been pretty pretty chaotic, but I've finally gotten around to getting the garage sorted out. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for cool looking posters to go on the garage walls.

We own three cars together, but the two that are in the garage are her 04 Camry Solara (red) and my 07 S2000 (blue). It's a two car garage with white, nasty looking walls and I'm looking for something cool to cover up some holes and blemishes.

Any ideas?

If you can, do all of your lighting, flooring and electrical work before anything else. Then paint your garage area then start decorating. I didn't.







Neon works too:








License plates work:



Televisions work: (ignore the microwave, kitchen was under construction)



Random street signs: (my father in law makes these)

The street signs are a cool idea. I think overall though, renovations will be kept to a bare minimum. I'm in the process of putting a pegboard system up on the wall. That and a few shelves may be all I do.

I picked up a few from Fulcrum Gallery a couple years ago.

Mine are all vintage racing posters like this



If you're into that sort of thing.

Agreed, lighting and electrical would be my first moves... Along with air compressor and shelving.
