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

I've never seen CF get damaged from the sun. Hell, I've held a lighter to some of my cf fabric before, no damage whatsoever.

if its coated with uv protection it will last a few years, if it starts to get eaten though you'll have to sand and re-clear
