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

Yeah man. Don't do it my way though, i'm not 100% sure its gonna hold up, i'm hoping it will, but being a flexible plastic bumper, the glass/bondo might crack after time. Only time will tell. I'm not sure i'm keeping this bumper anyways, so its a good time to experiment, not really costing me anything, more time than anything.

You should ask about it in your class, now that I think about it.
