It seems he went through a lot of research and tooling to get them right. Why wouldn’t he at least turn that over to someone willing to continue production?I don’t think he’s been on in close to 2.5 months. Probably burned out…

Hey guys, my rock guards are all set, and production is in place! DM me for a set, $150 for the pair of fronts. Uses the factory push pin, and just needs double sided tape going up the edge that touches the fender. You can also reach me at @vipertoad on IG. Thanks!

While I like carbon fiber, it is more from a functional rather than a decorative perspective. I'd prefer to use CF where it really makes sense or to improve strength while saving weight. For things like a spoiler, steering wheel trim, interior decoration, mud flaps, etc. I think it is just a total waste of the material. Factor in it is very difficult to recycle and I'd rather use it where it really has significant benefits other than just bling.
As a plaid owner, I'm sick of the misinformation and lack of clarity being put out there re the CF trim and its effect on speed. Sorry, I have to correct you even though you may have been joking. The CF doesn't give any extra speed.You do know it is the CF trim and seat piping on the Plaid that gives it the extra speed and not the third motor?

It's the seat piping.
Hmm. You may be on to something, but just too many variables. For example, if we're being technical, are you excluding the plaid badge? I can't imagine how you go faster having the seat piping but not the badge to actually notify the car to unlock the speed.I have to agree kind of... LR owners have put the CF and it has not decreased 0-60 by itself. I am not aware of any LR owners who have put in the piping. I think it will prove out to be the combination of the two.

You know your post is now gonna end up on a "breaking news" Twitter post citing TMC about the tech-forward badges being shipped. And I'm all for it.Forgot about the BLE Plaid badge.
It’s not real carbon fiber, I think it’s just carbon fiber wrap/vinyl which is why he said you can peel it off if you don’t like it. I could be wrong but that is how I read it.If you are going to do that, might as well just start with a $20 pair of generic ones and trim them a bit. No point wasting the carbon fiber if you are into that look.
Thanks! Do these come with the double sided tape? Assuming they do.I'll work on rear sets now, as of now fronts are completely done and available for ordering

If you are paying $150 for just a set of front mud flaps, I would hope they are included and something higher end like the 3m tape. At least they seem to offer more protection than the Tsportline ones which seem pretty much worthless from a protection standpoint.Thanks! Do these come with the double sided tape? Assuming they do.

Ah bummer, I was hoping it came with double sided tape. Now I have to order the tape you are recommending, I assume Amazon sells it?The flaps do not come with double sided tape attached, you can use as much or as little as you want on your personal vehicle. I recommend 1/2" 3M VHB tape, and to mount the tape onto the car (not the flap) so you know every possible surface of the car that can grip the flap is indeed gripping it. Mount the flap with the OEM push pin, then spin it up onto the fender to see what length of tape you will need to apply to the fender. Cut tape to length, apply it, then permanently mount the flap.
Thanks - I wish they came with the tape. For the price, I think it should be included and makes it easier when everything comes together.The flaps do not come with double sided tape attached, you can use as much or as little as you want on your personal vehicle.
