Whoever in this first list of 10 who wants a "smooth side out, textured side towards the tire." Set of flaps, speak now or forever sing Soprano.
Out of curiosity, what thickness did you end up making those out of? How was the rigidity?Looks nice, I made a similar design for my P85D out of matte carbon which matches the spoiler and interior carbon pieces.
It is 1/8th inch thick. Rigid enough that it will protect against large rocks, not flap in the wind, and also possibly damage your fender liner if you slap them down on a parking curb. So be careful!
Whoops!Aren't you doing textured side toward the tire by default? What's the default?!
That's a good point. On the "standard ride height" or whatever Tesla calls it, how high is the flap from the ground?
I believe they are 1/16". They are flexible enough to contour to small curves but rigid enough they dont flop. Purchased the carbon sheets from dragonplate and created my own template/design from cardboard then cutout with a dremel. Bottom holes use factory location then I secured the upper with 3m double sided tape.
I'll measure and report back all the heights this evening.
My last set of flaps were rough on the outer side, and all kinds of stuff would get caught behind in between the flap and the paint. Hopefully the smoother side toward the fender means less of this!
Yeah I've seen some small bits collect on the front, but nothing my hose hasn't been able to blast away. Also nothing a little PPF can't protect against.I'm good with default, I think/hope.
I think smooth side out and textured side inward toward the tire makes more sense, right? Maybe I'm wrong but it looked like that's the way you have them on your car, no?
Yep that's the default. I was asking if anyone would want textured side in, I just accidentally the whole thing.
I'm also happy to take default that you made for your car - looks amazing!
Textured side out, please! Thank you!
