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'm going to take my camera down to the shop on my way to work and snag a picture of the progress.

If i'm right, by the time i get there, the exterior should be assembled and just need wet sanded/buffed.

Hopefully none of my wiring for the headlights got fubared in the accident, and all the bulbs in the new headlights are in tact ... everything looks kosher but what do i know.

We'll see tomorrow.

yes sir. Nighthawk Black Pearl... i think it goes well with the hood, hatch and wheels.

Reminds me of the incredible hulk. I think i'm going to start walking around with no shirt on, painted green, with some ripped purple pants. I'll probably get laid more often.

the last teaser before carlisle ...
Image A couple small things weren't done ... but it's no big deal.

He didn't do inside my gas lid again, but said to come back after the show and he'll do it up. Also, didn't do the carbon trunk ... kind of disappointed in that, but he said he can do that asap after the show too. Also, he didn't eliminate the license plate area and sprayed the flat black parts of the bumper green ... but i'm not that worried about it.

He let everything sit untouched except for my car the last 3 days so i could get it a day early so i wasn't rushing as much for the show, and charged me a lot less than expected ... so i can't complain.

At least it's done. Huge weight off my shoulders.

Long next few days though.

Waking up at 8, picking up the car, dropping it off at the shop for brakes and wheel studs, working 11-11, throwing a munster-like assembly party immediately after work til it's done, and then i have to be at God Speed in state college by 8am friday to get tuned on stock block/open downpipe/~8psi by chris from metric motorsport. Running around all day after that, driving to carlisle, and then a long weekend ahead.... pink panty dropper FTW!

on a side note ... the older guy in the corner of the pic i just posted has an 84 CRX with a mugen kit :up: He did it back in 89 ... talk about OG. He said he hasn't even looked at the car in years ... lucky to have 50,000 miles on it.
