MP CF air inlets at R44 (not as good of a deal as I hoped lol)

I was surprised to see R44 is offering these for $463 on the US site, the regular U.K. site has them for £369 so roughly the same. Don’t know if this is a typo but R44 is a reputable company so I’m pulling the trigger on these and then canceling my order with the dealership if I do get them at that price.

Whoa, that may be a mistake or they're charging per single duct.

I know right? I’m too scared to call them up and ask them if that’s the case, may try ordering them and see if I get them for that price. If not, I’ll order them anyway from somewhere.

Yeah...I sent them an email, maybe that was a mistake. I'm tempted to order and see if they stick with that price. I currently have it on my build and the car is sitting waiting to get on a boat.

I ordered them. They’re backordered. Shipping was $90. Total came to $558.

Surprise surprise surprise...I bet that backorder turns into a cancelation of your order.

I’m expecting my car early June so I’m not sweating it. If it cancels, no biggie, I just jumped on these because of the price. If it doesn’t work out, it’ll be a nice surprise on my statement.

FYI. Gold & Matte 1000’s with tires is $5,923.49 including overnight shipping to the East Coast.

Same, just placed an order after talking to my CA. Asked him if he could work on the price and doubts it but to send him the link anyway. My M2 is scheduled for production next week so it’ll arrive some time mid to late May so I have some time to wait on this order and then cancel the order from the dealership if all goes as planned.

I wrote to them and got an Easter vacation auto-response. Said they'd be back on Tuesday.

Ah dammit, too good to be true lol. Thought they would honor it based on a technicality since the description specifically says it’s a “set”. Canceling my order too then

I tried calling first but they were closed for the day so I sent an email. I’m calling tomorrow if I don’t see a reply to my email by tomorrow morning just to be sure.
