I'm OCD as hell about some things. Most probably wouldn't think about it. But if you want to enjoy the full effect of your beautiful g30 paint color, I highly recommend lighting your garage accordingly!
I hear you, I want as much clean light as possible for when I'm detailing or working on the car, such as installing the spoiler last weekend.

I have four set of the old school fluorescent tubes that do "ok". I also had a traditional bulb socket on the ceiling that I just used for one of these. Makes a big difference.
