Default Jfaria's 2011 Black tC2 Build thread

In October of 2013 i traded in my beat to hell Accord for a 2011 Black tC with 27K on it, and once spring came the modding begun.
first thing I did was added fogs and decided i was going to go with a Neon Green as my focus color.

The next thing I did was get a Tsudo S2 full Catback which was worth every penny i love it.
Next up were Raceland Coils, ik people aren't huge fans of Racelands but for my daily driver with the way the roads are here u cant go too low anyway so they were perfect,
I have the car currently dropped all the way on Racelands and I scrape every so often so its perfect height for my area.

Next up were the rims, one of the paint on the rims cracked up like a ****, i'm gonna have to sand down the areas that cracked and respray it, its on my to do list.
also got some Spec-D tails which i love, altho only one reverse light still works so there must be some wiring i gotta mess with to have 2 reverse lights. and the car as it sits as of today.
its dirty i know but iv been working on this car every spare minute iv had out of work i'm burnt out haha need a little vacation from working on the car now going to just enjoy it for a little while.

Things in the near future would be Green LEDs inside the bumper cover to make the front grills glow green at night to match the Fogs.
also gonna grab an EZ-Lip off eBay to protect my front bumper a bit from scraping,
Going to start saving for some real wheels also

if you look in the picture i never disconnected the wires for the airbag, so no i didn't get any airbag light i don't know if actually unplugging them during this process would cause an airbag light. I'm assuming u should be able to safely unplug them and the plug it back in when u reassemble without an airbag light because you will have the negative to the battery disconnected while your doing it all.

but to answer your question no i haven't had any kind of airbag light issues after removing and re installing it.

I like the custom cargo cover. Where did you get the snap buttons for it?

i used grommets on the towel and for the buttons i put a grommet in the towel and just bent a paperclip into a circle and hook it over the button that's already on the car. it stays on and is easy to take it on and off so i'm happy with it.

they wanted $70 bucks for the OEM one and it was cloth i made a custom Mario bros one for under $20 and in my opinion it's way cooler then the OEM grey one. and if i ever want to i can switch it up with any other beach towel. maybe if i get bored with mario bros ill get like a pinup girl beach towel.
