Yeah they do actually, i have a set of bbs that are flat black, and that front bumper is off for a reason in the newer pictures;] I plan on getting r32 bumpers. The kid who owned this car before me was an idiot and had no taste or common sense. ---

put it to stock … flash it (APR,Utronics) and keep it the way it is. k03s with the diode mod work but its really just temporary . Trust me I did everything possible to try to save my 1.8t and make it faster … n20,diode,mbc,chipping,k04… and I regret it all . Just get it flashed and keep the rest stock .
