if any of you have taken delivery and wish to have the CF bits installed they will become available for order in the upcoming weeks to months through your audi R8 dealer. for all those whose cars will not be arriving with them you will have the option as well.

the blades, for starters, are available for order through your dealer. you will need a commission or vin, for the blades will be alloted only legitimately and as batches or individual pieces become available. your dealer will be able to install them.

i would also caution against purchasing them through third parties. some of them are unreliable in one way or another. i will not mention individual companies but i speak from personal experience and confirmed through discussions with two other R8 owners with whom i have been in contact.

furthermore, the OE pieces are through and through CF, from front to back. they are not veneers. they are works of art.

PS- both pieces should cost about 4.4K.
