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

oh yeah...forgot to mention that i got a set of 99-00 oem tails so no worries haha. i'm keeping the wing, i like the look of both but i'm choosing to keep the wing and i'm having emblems shaved.

As for the lip, i was just gonna get a replica one because it doesn't matter to me if its legit or not

Trade them for a front lip.

Seriously, breaking shit is fun, but I imagine you could trade someone out there for some lippage.

So i'm kinda stuck as to what i want to do right now. i was planning on getting a CF spoon style lip from jdmshit.com but they jacked their price up $60 on it and i dont feel like paying $300 for a lip, thats just me. So i did some searching and found another place that has them but i've never heard of them, http://www.hmotorsports.com , so i'm not sure if i should buy from them. My back-up plan is to get a CTR lip and have they guy who is painting my car right now paint it for me, hopefully he wont charge me extra to paint it. So let me know if you guys have ever dealt with or heard of hmotorsports.com, the sooner the better so i can figure out what i need to do.

Car has been away for paint now 10 days....so hopefully its close to being finished

yeah your right...i could do that if i was worried it would be done. i'd rather he take the time to do it right instead of rushing and not doing a good job.

Well i called the guy who is painting my car last night to check on the progess so jude would stop asking me if i had called him yet. When i did i did not get very good news. it has been out there for two weeks now and the car is still not painted, its ready to be painted but hasn't been yet. He told me that he is planning on painting it thursday or friday. I was hopiong to have it back sometime this week but i gues not. Now i'm just hoping to have it back in time for carlisle...
