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

Post by hondalowlow » October 16, 2004

^What he said. I'll have a set of knockoffs for sale in the spring if I get money for new wheels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there isn't any metallic in UPS brown. I thought that it was just straight brown.

munster, the ups brwon has to be mixed to match due to ir being a goverment fleet color and only ups trucks can be painted that...due to goverment and some fucking ordance law.. i donno the guy at beermans explained it to me then showed me this color... its the same brwon but wiht gold metallic in it..but verry little.. due to the ups color being govermrnt protected or some shit im gonna go wiht this color...

i got my front bumper yesterday and my grill i changed my mind and im going with
a type-r grill... looks cleaner and flows with the car.... the little pillars in the mugen grill just isnt cutting it...

i ordered my lip from ebay. mugen .. of course..

I would paint match the center of the wheels to the UPS brown. I think it was Non Fujita awhile back had a brown S14 with brown/polished lip wheels and it was godly. I have a MUGEN knockoff valvecover in the garage, just has a little scratch on it from installing my header. 50 bucks and it's yours if you're interested.
