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

It's been a while... time to reintroduce myself.

build threads. post pics & specs & brag about your ride.

the color doesnt do it for me... ive never really been a fan of flat colors on Hondas unless they have clear coat on them and its like glass. then i dont mind them so much. nice to see that youve returned to the site though.

Thank you for the support guys.

and believe me, I know the color isn't for everyone, that is why I did it... to be different.

lol ;)

As for the new paint, I plan to either go Dark Burgundy Red or Matte Khaki again but professionally sprayed WITH clear coat.

I like the khaki as a temporary color. I'll have to look at the pics again at home, I hope the color doesn't have too much oyster gray to it. Burgandy will look great!

Blood red was an option for me when I got my car sprayed. I stuck with black, though.

Nice to see that you have returned. I like the flat khaki...looks cool.
