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

99-00 front end is nice but to do the swap i don't think its worth the extra flow you have to dish out.

but as far as a lip goes i'm not sure what i want to do. the very first lip i ever had on it was the jun lip and i'm not going back to that one and i just recently busted the mugen lip i had on. now that i have to replace it i'm not sure if i should replace it with another mugen lip or the ctr lip?

who cares if you get busted on.....its your car do what YOU want. but if you looking for input i personally like the 96-98 front end better. i am not a HUGE fan of the sir bumpers either. dont get me wrong i love em but when i had mine it wasnt a must have. i LOVE the sir lip tho. i had mugen and ctr and my favorite was the sir. soo clean!

96-98 fronts are where it's at.

You definitely don't want to do SiR bumpers, lip, and fogs. :x
