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

reference for the future:
16x7.5 7 w/195/40/16
16x9.5 17 w/205/40/16

ordered up my braille battery holder for the trunk.
i also ordered my PET loom and 3:1 heat shrink as well finally.

hopefully they should be here by weeks and i can i can make more progress on the car with some mockups.

battery will be easily accessible in the hatch. im not a huge fan of the look of the remote terminals people have been running in the bays, they stick out like sore thumbs.

once the wiring is completed i will start on my fuel line setup and then eventually move to the brake lines. a friend of mine with a welder is pretty excited to start plugging holes in my bay, so thats a good sign for getting the bay smooth. trying to stay away from using a lot of filler. with the flex i don't want any cracks.

does the integra rear fog lamp take away from the cleanness of the rear?
i was kind of always a fan of the retrofit. i liked mine when i had it but i also like the rear w/o the fog. sometimes it hard for me to make up my mind. opinions?

I loved my rear foglamp. It adds just a little more to the rear end. I will most likely be slapping the same one on my hatch. Even though they're not "supposed" to be there, I love it :)

thinking more about it.
i dont think it will go with the theme of the car 'first molding, spoon, js'
just wont pull that whole 'race inspired manufacture/parts' together, imo.

i sold my rear fog quite some time ago and was planning on picking up a new one.
i guess its one of those things when i get an extra rear bumper i can pick one up to see how it looks.

i also want to have a few extra front bumpers setup with various parts i can flip around. i change my mind and the way i want it to look way 2 much.

Thats a good idea. I'd love to have a set of SiR bumpers for the hatch, maybe a few different lips, OE rear and another with a fog in it, etc etc. Good way to change your look without having to source out new parts every time :thumbup:
