New Here, second tC
In September 2015 I bought a used 2009 tC to use as my commuter vehicle. Liked the car, great gas mileage (compared to my heavily modded 2005 Nissan Maxima).
On October 23, 2015 I was cut off on the 5 freeway at 0630 and lost control of the car and hit the concrete wall head on at 65mph. Destroyed the car (engine came out) and broke my back in three places.
Last week I bought another tC, this time a 2015 fully loaded with only 10k miles on it. So far windows tinted, generic air intake (no CEL after 250 miles), DIY cargo cover.
Planning exhaust, springs, front lip...
Already found some great info here!!!

Hi SanDiegoPaneraiGuy! Welcome to SL!
I'm from NorCal. Last year I was in SoCal in the SD area.
I agree the 5 Freeway can be crazy at times
Keep up the Good Work!

Nice! I like the CF Wrap on the hood. How it cuts away with a aggressive fade.
The Punisher logo also adds to the bold style
The Blackout TRD emblem

I had wrapped the hood, roof and trunk on my Maxima and liked the look... Thought I would give this a try. Super easy as the roof sections are perfectly flat and since they are glass, it's easy to handle the edges.
No, I painted the calipers with Dupli-color ceramic paint.
