I ordered a set a few weeks back. When I emailed with Rhys and Jade there were only 3 left unspoken for in the batch of 20 they were receiving this/last week so I probably got #18.
That means there’s only 2 or 1 left in stock!

My R44 ducts arrived today, and my order was placed online 14 days ago. The R44 pieces look great quality. They seem to have factory clips bonded to the CF. Packaging was really good, well wrapped in foam and then bubble sheets. I look forward to installing these with my black/red AT grille soon.
A big 3x thumbs up to R44Zach for great service!

Thats correct, they are made using off cuts of carbon but then painted over. It's the cheapest way to manufacture to then make the product still affordable and make sense in comparison to the carbon but then quality wise you are also winning as ABS for example would cost so much more to make and be worse quality and fit.

Hey guys!
As some of you know these are usually on back order but I believe we currently still have 2 left in stock. https://usd.r44performance.com/en-gb...re-g80-g82-g83 Drop me a message if you want to get an order placed while the last turn around to the UK is next day and US around 2-3 working days. |

Has anyone fitted mesh on the backside to protect against debris? |

Grills will be fabricated too. I watched the videos FaRKle! crested and ordered both 6x1mm hexagon and 4x8mm diamond aluminum mesh sheets in black. Hex was double price but I think it looks better. I’ll have to compare air flow-through too, and the diamond mesh delivers today. I’m doing the same mesh behind an AT Red CSL style grill in the same job. Not sure which glue I’ll use to bond to the carbon. I’ll email R44 to ask.

Someone should try these and get back to us. Or pay me to install them on mine :-)

They sent some pictures of their carbon fiber versions in a chat with me. Those looked good.
I told them I was more interested in the Glossy Black Fiberglass version. His response "They are pretty much the same in terms of loaded pictures, they are both very nice, but since we are a supplier and not a dealer, there isn't as much customer feedback, man" There is a discount code ASJHFDKJWB for I think 8% off. So around $250 shipped to your door. Quote:

Here’s what my custom screens look like. It’s an invisible tape job using 3M VHB. The whole fab job can be done in one day. Tools were as shown…snips, pliers, tape. I started another set for the AT Comp grill.
