I contacted them and was told the same thing, mold issue. Said in 2-3 weeks it will be restocked with the correct item and hopefully things are in better shape.

Who did you contact?

Too bad there’s no CSL style lip spoiler/trunk for the vert.

OK, try #4. Randomly found this one on Ali. Gloss black abs, which I actually don't mind - all my carbon is on the interior.

I'll report back - likely to say it doesn't fit - in a few weeks or so.

Pic is janky, but at least there is one...

Sigh. So the seller is now saying the $150 they charged for shipping isn't sufficient, and won't send it....

R44 says they've now revised the spoiler.

Its presently 15% off - think I'm going to make attempt #5, toftt, and re order it...

[aktif8]

Attempt #5 in flight - r44v2. Re ordered!

Everyone cross your fingers for this one please.

Wow good luck. Wonder what they did? Make it smaller? Does the picture show anything different?

Heres the pic of the prototype they sent, which does look like it should work

That does indeed look smaller. Very interesting. I'll be following your updates very closely 😂

I strongly suspect that our NA market tops operate differently, with different clearances than overseas - I mean, this isn't even remotely close.

I think the 3d spoiler is the most fugly one I've ever seen in my entire life, so not going that route.

Now on my 4th spoiler attempt....

Same boat as you...waiting on 2nd Mold...1st one discontinued due to fitment issues supposedly b/c of a bad mold...

After seeing this post, I just checked and sure enough. The mechanism hits the spoiler, although not that hard but still does make a slight impact. I'm pretty upset right now. I loved the look of the spoiler. ugh...

Yeah that looks great. And this isn't rocket science. The spoiler for the G83 simply needs to be "set back" around the 3rd brake light, rather than forward "on top" of it...and then we'd be Mint. Hoping this NEW mold will work for the one a few of us have ordered. I don't get how any of these are sold without actually being 100% test fit...

Update from r44

Good afternoon,

Hope you are keeping well!

Just following up regarding out recent email update on this order

As per our last email, we were expecting these to arrive with us on the 15th of July

Unfortunately, our factory were unable to hit this target with the spoilers, as due to the extreme temperatures over here in the past few weeks, the final stage of lacquer had some issues in the final step.

We pride ourselves in ensuring that we provide our customer with top quality products and although this has been a lengthy wait, the last thing we wanted to do is rush it and send it out to you guys if we through it was not perfect!

I understand that this will come with great frustration, however we only want to provide you with the best quality products!

The factory have let us know that they should be able to compete these by the end of this month and have them with us by the first week of August. Again, I understand how annoying this will sound as we have previously told you a date and been unable to complete the batch to that date.

Yep I was given that from the US Distributor too....The problem is that was two weeks ago, and still nothing...No tracking number, No spoiler...what a $hit show. Any word on your end?

Nada. I'm hoping for mid August.

Has anyone tried this one out?
Planning to get it for my G83 once it's out of QC Purgatory…
