BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
lol, took a long time for me to get that TSX.. 13 rejection before 1 approval. Everywhere i went they told me i either needed a bigger down payment or a high 700 co signer. A credit union told me about Golden 1 Credit Union and i gave them a go and sure enough i got approved! no co signer.
I wanted to get this car with no help from anyone and i got it. proud of myself.

I lowered my seats 2 inches yesterday...
Because the aftermarket seats I have practically hit the ceiling. The brackets were super tall too. So I just decided to drop them on the floor flat and that way I can see under the front bar of my cage...
Plus the way it sets me in the cockpit
it just feels great.

So this is how the dash is going to look from now on!

I haz a center console now! With a hole for my stereo! Which will eventually be a mini glovebox for the need info
or maybe just a big legit switch panel, idk.


oh and I also now have door panels. They really finish off the car. Looks great. I still have all my aluminum pieces wrapped in plastic which is why they looks messed up.



New lowered seat bracket!


One side needed to be a little higher to be level...
