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

got some new pics...the car doesn't move much


hood dampers Image tailgate fasteners Image headliner Image working on glove box block off Image Image Image test fit - still gotta fix it a little Image - its REAL carbon fiber if you were wondering, not the stick on kind. I tried to make the entire block off carbon, but anything thicker than the .2mm that I used wouldn't bend. So I had to get this and lay it over the sheetmetal I pounded. Even the .2mm is too thick to bend and stay, so I had to rivet it down in a few places. I'll get pics of it installed permanently when I'm all done and have removed the passenger airbag

Why don;t you want a glove box? lol

So, what thickness is the c/f sheet? Cause I was gonna get 0.015 inches or something, but I wanna make sure it's flexible...

[quote="Jezek"]Why don]
Believe it or not, the glove box is freakin heavy...


The thickness I ended up with was .2mm

Anything more than that would just not bend. I think .015 would be paper thin. I would question whether or not it was real carbon weave, and not just a decal.
