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

Swap out the yellow tach needle for the white one and you're golden.

aww you guys dont get it either. you know how in race cars the rpm tach is more important then the speed? the needle allows the rpms to stand out from the rest of the cluster... that and if i want to make them separate again i dont have to do much.

well slowly but surely im getting alittle annoyed with the cluster already. i like how it looks but the orange ring for some reason is bothering me lol.

oh and i got my fenders back the other day from the paint shop. i might have to take some 2000 grit and wet sand the car alittle so the car doesnt look like ass when i put them on lol. they are shiney.

well the only thing i was worried about was taking the side skirts off since they are something ive had bad experiances with. this time around only one screw tab refused to unscrew and i had to break it off. but once that was done the whole installation was cake. the only thing that was annoying was making sure the fenders were aligned right. i did the best i could and bolted everything down.

the paint is off by a cunt hair so the fenders are alittle brighter then the car but im hoping that with alittle time they well darken as the paint completely cures. its awkward because they color matched them to the AIRwalker bumper which matched the previous fenders so until the paint darkens im going to be annoyed. i know it will darken because the walker bumper the wing the side skirts and mirrors were all not color matched and they started out like the fenders being alittle brighter then the rest of the car. im going to try and get some polish to try and brighten the doors some for now. Milano Red is a very fickle paint from what i hear and it tends to change into a maroon color over time even with proper care.
