What's up, glad to have ya, if you finally pick out some springs (saw your other thread in the tC setion) I'll help you install them, I've got all the tools at my place and a pretty big garage for doing car work in.

I saw Kanchi invited you over here, glad you came in, he's an awesome dude and really helpful too.

I got my S2K antenna at Honda for like 35$, but the Element antenna works just the same and is like 22$

Where do you go to school?

I go to school at Bellevue College, I do running start. I am a senior though in HS.

I still am deciding on things, and I am going to Cali for Christmas for 9 days, so I wont be ordering anything till I get back.

That would be tight. I heard installation can be around $150 for springs.

Did you see that $20 antenna on eBay? Would that work?

Also, my friends been giving me a lot of slack for having a light blue car, he says just paint it black and call it good. Meh, black would look nice but idk if its worth paying $1500 for a solid paint job for it.

This one? Should be good. Guy has like 10k positive feedback, I'd say it's legit.

Install on springs depends where you go, I've got a friend with a spring compressor which does all the work for us and you'd get to pick and choose and see a bunch of stuff I've done to my car and get to see the raceland coilovers in person and such too. It's the same amount of work for either think basically and if you wanna just meet up to get some ideas lemme know and I'll PM ya my number.

I go to BC also, although for my networking degree through the deal with EWU.

We've had a few AP cars come through our scene all owned by guys, all done up well, no hate from me, I really like the color personally, I'd say your friend is a homophobe haha. Also your car is currently an OEM color, it'll carry more value that way if you intend to turn it around in a few more years like you said.

I've got a big thread in the tC owners lounge with a ton of pictures of my car, although not a lot as I modded it along the way, sometime I'll put up a real progression set as things changed.

cob, you can make any color work, just have a good offset for your accent color/s...and as for springs...$1500 is way to much!

Not the springs at $1500, the paintjob.

Thanks for the warm welcomes you guys.

I love my car so far but in 4-5 years, I plan on reselling it. Some people mod their tC's till they cannot mod it anymore, and the value of the car ends up going on to the average seller (probably mid 20's, not looking to draw that much attention). I like light modifications and to let the natural look of the car shine, its a beautiful car, I like the design how the entire top is glass.

Fast question though, is the second sunroof (above the back seats) supposed to slide back? Mine dont, but its not really that big of a deal. Could it possibly be a blown fuse or something?

The second piece of glass is fixed, doesn't go back.

Is what it looks like open, the front piece is a wind deflector that raises up, then is the piece that goes back over the third and final fixed piece.
