The TC1 is more flat whereas the TC2 has a slightttt curve to it. If it was flat then there wouldn't be any problem using the flat metal washer or anything similar. In the TC2 case, you can't use metal since it's not a flat surface.

Ok so the holiday season is now over and I finally got off my ___ to complete this. Here it is...

This is the full album with the full res photos...

Here's the procedure...
I sanded the top layer down with 400 then 800, 1000, 1500, 2000. Primed it afterwards with a good 8 coats all around then sanded again 2000. Finally painted the actual white with 9 coats all around. I slightly chipped it as you can see in the pic if you get close down on it. I'm too lazy to go through the whole process again hehe. I think it looks good the way it is so I'm not going to bother.

This is the paint I used....

There is a tutorial on how to do the 2010 model since it is different than the TC2. For mine it was just a matter of removing the rear panels and then unscrewing the bolts. That's pretty much it. The rubber base of the antenna unscrews off. Again the procedure may be a little different on the TC1.

I don't personally have an antenna connected although you can buy an internal antenna that you fit behind the dash if you like.
