How to install the model x mud flaps?

I went with these

Amazon.com

I'm pretty happy with them. 3/4 fit very tight. The 4th, I'm not sure why, maybe shipping issue is my guess, but it's still close. I'd still like to put 1 more screw at the very base of them, strait up, does anyone want to help verify a 1/2" screw won't go into anything important? I'm 90% sure the rear it's just plastic, but the front ones I'm not sure. They are plenty tight now, so maybe I don't screw down the fronts.

My sets fit much better than your. I'll get some pics tomorrow.

I found some screws at the local hardware store I liked. Stainless Steel w/black heads. Probably not 'needed' but I like them on tight.
You won't see them anyway unless you usually look at cars bent over or laying on the ground.

So, all these options discussed in this thread involve drilling, so that older style mud flaps can fit the 2022/refresh MX?

I got this set and they don't fit like urs do in the pics. I have a refresh so they must have changed something. I only tried to fit the fronts but the inside bottom edge protrudes out a bit. Back to searching for ones that fit.

Also the ones from RPM Tesla say that they don't fit the Plaid X. If you click on "compatibility", it states that they won't fit Plaid X so something must have changed slightly for them not to fit.

P.S. The rear ones fit fine.

Well... almost lasted a year. Salt did in the original hardware. Kinda $hitty to not come with more durable screws.
$4 at the local hardware store, I have the best material known to man. Stainless Steel. Still like the mud flaps, but cheap hardware means this goes from 5/5 stars to 3/5.

I used these black anodized aluminum pop rivets on mine and they are very inconspicous, installed they look like the plastic push pins Tesla uses on the inner fender.
