I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

well due to money issues i needed to sell the rims sooner then later so i settled with they guy and a semi ripped lip. it just needs to be either bondoed or fiber glassed together is all really. i got more money then i was asking for because the lip was busted alittle so it wasnt a bad deal in the end. i dont have pics but i will later.

im debateing on if i should fix the front bumper too and respray it myself along with the lip so its all color matched and new looking. i wouldnt feel right fixing the lip and not trying to fix the bumper so its been on my mind ever sense i got the lip.

its sunny but its very windy and thanks to that the wind chill is in the 50s or lower. it sucks. id rather have snow then wind chill.

started to work on the OEM bumper and the new Si lip by sanding down the areas that need to be fixed. i dont have any pictures atm cause of the lack of a camera atm. i dont care to explain but i will have my camera back soon and prolly with a new lens among the possibility of other things like a flash and tri-pod. hopefully the bumper will be finished with a fresh coat of paint and color matched to the lip. ill be taking my time with this making sure its all perfect and all that. i might even switch to my stock front grille and the stock hood and paint my Si center grille too. ill be also painting my keyless handles too. we shall see if i go that far or not.
