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

or if you buy aa cheap CF hood and dont adjust it... if its a cheaply made hood the hood latch will fail with your car going balls out... so far my hood hasnt failed like that and i dont have hood pins and i drove 3k miles or more with it like that... from las vegas to dallas to houston to harlingen tx and back... believe me when i say i was alittle freaked anytime i saw the hood move LOL

Tis true. You remember I had pins on my EG when I had the CF hood. I bought this one brand new and didn't want to drill holes in it. Thats what I get. :)

And yes Zero, Seibon.
