    Price of CF sideblade?

    Hi guys,

    Any idea how much each (driver + passenger) of the CF sideblade would cost? I am talking OEM, ordered at the dealer.



    Thank you

    And how much do the V 10 sideblades run in C.F. or unpainted, or Jet Blau?

    They cost $2300 when ordered with the car. Call your dealer for replacement parts.

    Thank you
    I bought some aftermarket because a dealer swapped them out for someone who didnt like them. I got a very good deal. OEM retail will run $2177 USD each. OUCH

    I misspoke. Mine were not aftermarket at all, they were stock from a delivered R8. The person who ordered them didnt like the look and had the dealer order different blades before taking delivery. I happened to be scouring the internet and stumbled across them by accident. It was like hitting the lottery. I am replacing my Daytona Grey blades next week with them

    Are your old blades made of metal ? Just curious as I have the C.F. ones (high gloss) Will your new blades be high gloss? You were quick to win that lottery.

    Im not really sure. I didnt realize the stock CF Blades had different finishes.. high gloss, etc. How would I know without having them next to one that is not high gloss? I would imagine the ones on there now are metal but I guess I won't know until they are off. Finding the CF blades was literally not unlike a lottery. I was looking at the daytona blades thinking how Id love to see CF. Within a hour I was messing around on Audi sites and that very same day, a dealer on the West Coast removed CF Blades from a customers R8 and had just put them on the site for sale.
