2026 in JDM

We’ve already shared this news multiple times with everyone, but just as a reminder - we’re continuing to work on expanding the Paint Shop with a sticker / livery addition. The system poses more problems than we initially expected, and we’re dealing with them as you read these words. We expect the update to be released soon, but we cannot commit to any solid deadline yet. Please be patient.
