Anybody installed these "widebody" fender trim?

[MuscleCar]

A lot of sellers have these for sale, basically replacing the OEM wheel arch covers with these "fender flares".

I'm wondering if they would help with spray in the winter, especially with my +25et wide wheels. And also fit and finish.

The only thing I see is that they may not fit 2023 models? Did something change in the these fender trim pieces for 2023?

Hmm. There's already so much wind noise on the Model Y, I'd be hesitant to extend the fender wheel arch out.
My opinion, of course. FYI: 45k miles, front OEM mudflaps, rear door PPF, and zero issues with road debris striking the sides of the car.

YMMV!

It seems only this brand/model that's not compatible w/ the MY 2023 model. The Tesmanian ones can fit MY 2020 - 2023.

Oh nice! What's your wheel / tire setup? (Especially offset)

 

[Pianewman]

How about a photo from the front/rear, showing how much they stick out?
They look good!

Would love to know how many millimeters these stick out.

Are these the white ones they sell or did you have it painted? Looks nice and subtle.

I've had these for awhile now, which appear to be the same. I like them way better than the stock ones imo.

Could you post any pictures? Wondering how MUCH they may or may not stick out. Why do you like them better?

The only problem that I see is that they may not fit my 2023... I think something changed in these fender liners and now they don't fit?

Thanks for that! My original question answered. According to that listing, looks like 0.57" protrusion front, and 0.6" protrusion rear.

These are the white ones, but the white was off so I had them painted.

Thanks for the pic. Look perfect and exactly what I need

 

[MuscleCar]

Ohhhhhh man this does look perfect! Thank you.

Anybody know why these would or wouldn't fit on a 2023? Did something change in the new models?

Some sellers have them marked as 20-22 only, while other 21-23... And you know can't ever trust that
