I added a few things to the tC. These were my weekend project.















Other than paint seeping through on the console, I think everything turned out great!

 

left side of console looks clean, right side not so much. Nice effort though.

 

looks ok, not bad

 

Whats the beer opener for?

 

thats awesome. did you have to sand anything? and what paint did you use for it?

 

Engine cover looks clean! Did you know you can get a decal for the lettering...

Randode.com

That's where I got mine from.

Makes a good looking cover even better!

 

^wow that looks super clean Hyghgynx

 

i just took mine off =)

but ya lthe interior looks pretty nice besides the paint going thru..you just put 1 layer?
i did mine similar and when i took the tape off took a bit of paint off but im most likely gonna be redoing mine this spring
heres mine

 

looking good girl, did you install the sub yourself?

 

Have you try to hand paint the letter.

 

tCbuuny, great job.

 

I was going to, but for $5 I just bought a decal.

 

thank you so much. i have been bored lately and this gives me a project! do you have any issues with the paint bubbling after you painted the cover?

 

I had no issues with the paint bubbling at all. I'm surprised that it didn't in fact. I'll let you know how it goes after being on for a while.

 

I put 3 light coats of the paint...some of the paint leaked through the tape. I also had the problem of the paint coming off in some places when I tool the tape off. I figure if I can clean up the messy parts and touch up the missing parts, it'll look great. I would say it's pretty good for doing that work for the first time.

What are you going to redo yours as? Different color?

 

My husband and I installed the sub together, as he's much better at the wiring stuff than I am. It took about two hours or so with taking apart the car, installing, getting the wiring all set and all that. It's got great sound for what I want....I wanted just enough kick to up the stock system. The Bazooka sub is good for that, and I was able to find it on Ebay for around $200 or so.

 

I didn't sand anything. I rubbed everything down really well with rubbing alcohol. I then washed the sections to be painted in Ivory dish soap, dried them and then let them air dry. Next I applied a paint primer, and once that dried I applied 3 LIGHT coats of the paint.

I used the spray paint specially made for plastics. The primer helped it adhese very well.

 

Just be sure to get high-temp paint/enamel. I used Dupli-Color Engine Enamel in the silver can.

 

looks good, can't wait to see it in person!

 

thats lookin real nice :D
