I got mine and installed them. Since I was making my tesla ugly I ended up putting the front plate on too (not shown). The stickers are not as bad as the front plate

Did you installed these stickers on top of the paint or did you use a PPF as base for these stickers?

I put them on PPF then installed them on the car. The PPF makes the install easier because it is wet applied so you can move things around for a while.
I'm not 100% sure I installed them to the T, but I think it should pass as ugly enough for the CHP. The front plate sucks though, but I have tint on the front windows too, so I feel like I'm just asking for a ticket with no front plate and tint. I used to stock plate holder on top of my full front PPF.

Someone posted earlier that you can can just buy a piece of PPF which is what I did, I think it was like $8, then you don't have to line the stickers up with the cut outs, just carefully stick them to the PPF and trim around the sticker. The RPM ones should work, but I think the new stickers are bigger due to the white borders on them so you might want to verify.

For some unknown reason, my stickers got mailed last week but I got the red ones haha. Perhaps due that I did submit the paperwork last November.
I was thinking on buying the 8 dollars one on amazon but it will take few days to get here but if I swing by RPM tesla, I can have them install it for me plus I get to buy more things haha.
Thank you for the info thou. I'll check amazon again if there's a 1 day delivery.

In that case I would try to contact them to get the correct stickers since you lose a year of carpool lane access with the red ones? Guess it depends how much you use the carpool lane.

Tbh, not much since I use the mountains as daily drive.
Once these stickers expire, do I need to re-apply to get the purple ones or how does it work?

Oh lol, so it's not set in stone that there's no renewal.
Hopefully there is.
Thank you.

I'm guessing that you are the only Tesla owner with a toy hauler in the front yard. Awesome!!

I'm not sure if that is my front yard or side driveway or what. I mostly feel like it's front yard, although the house technically faces another direction.

I ordered directly from XPEL.
Quantity 2 of (4 inch XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS Custom Length 4in x1ft)
Came out to less than $8 shipped.
ULTIMATE PLUS Custom Length
Depends on your needs. PPF is good for leaving it there for the 3-4 years they are valid and to take them off without effing up your paint. A little bit of elbow grease may be necessary.
Thanks both for the link.
@Glamisduner, how long does it take for the shipping? Do you think the quality is better than 3M?
