Did you need to purchase anything else to install these parts? Thank you

It look about 2 weeks to get to me after paying for the order.

I personally installed all of the pieces, which took a full day. I did the install without jacking up the car and without any special tools. I just used trim tools and a needle nose plier for unscrewing hard to reach bolts. I also did not remove ANY pieces other than the pieces I was planning to replace.

I'm happy to answer questions on how to do the install.

Anyways, here are some pictures!

Question for those who received a R44 MHC Plus Diffuser.

Is that normal for the tabs on the top to look kinda uneven and misshaped ?

They mention in their install video that the used extra resin (resin may not be the correct term) to build up those tabs, so not to worry about that. I guess to mimic the thickness of the OEM abs plastic.

Thanks bud for the quick reply.
Guess I was a bit worried because they all look a little crooked.

This is their store: https://saboncarbon.en.alibaba.com/

I tried emailing but the responses are extremely slow. They did say they have the MP style rear diffuser, but I don't see it on their site or Alibaba. I'm talking about the one with the angled outer fins.

Tempted to order though.

You are right, the first pic had me fooled.

Any updates on the carbon over plastic mirror cap fitment? Looking to order some.

Or any full carbon options besides OEM?

There are several folks on here and videos on YouTube showing fitment issues with the carbon over ABS versions floating around. Nothing major, but not perfect either. I was able to pick up the OEM mirror covers from Schmiedmann for $1350 shipped to the US. Still a lot of money, but I didn't want any fitment issues for things that would be easily seen. It would have broken my brain.

Here you go.
Right - 51168075064
Left - 51168075063

Shipping was 3 days from Denmark to the US East Coast. They'll charge you 2.7% to pay with a major credit card or 4% using PayPal. I also had to pay $42 duty fee once they got to the US. All in I still saved almost $800.

Looks great. If you don't mind, could you please share the details of the seller ? I already have the OEM carbon fiber exterior package, but want to get lip, side skirts and winglets(same as you)

Appreciate your help

I ordered my OEM mirror caps from Schmiedmann, on 2/2/2022, and HTTP410 got the last in stock set. I've been waiting for mine, for 2 weeks. I email them, yesterday, they have no idea when they will be back in stock.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get them soon. Stock was really hard to find for these.

They're worth the wait!

Has anyone other than NCG80M3 ordered from xxiituning? I'm tempted to order the front lip. Does it match factory weave?
