Mud Flaps Recomendation

[orntar]

I have tried basenor, and a no name from amazon, both didnt fit worth a damn. I have seen the RPM Tesla ones, they look to use the same mold.

Can someone recomend some mud flaps that actually fit?

You won't like them but I rock these: 4 Garde-Boues Tesla Model 3 (MidWest Edition) . The fit is good and they are very durable. They look like new after 2 harsh Quebec winters. They are the ones people use around here to protect their paint from peeling due to rock and sand projections (the North ones).

lol! You are correct, just received a set after seeing some good reviews on here. They look like garbage. (no offense)

I prefer to say they look like rally car flaps
EDIT: With that said, RallyArmor have some too ...

Another vote for EVMudflaps. No paint rubbing (or at least less, theres a bit in the wheelwell and they give you PPF for it).
I dont think the MidWests look nearly as Colin McRae as Rally Armors or the full on Canada ones.

I have the ones from Abstract Ocean.

The Basenor, RPM Tesla, and Abstract Ocean flaps are all the same generic ones that are sold elsewhere by other brands. I used to recommend the EV Mudflaps ones and the RallyArmor ones. I still think the EV Mudflaps are good, but the RallyArmor have a clunky installation process and don't fit how I like (I modified mine quite a bit to get them how I like them). I recently became aware of the RokBlokz flaps by a post from another forum member and really like them. Check out their installation video Tesla Model 3 2017+

Then I must say I don't really know what OP is talking about regarding fitment. These things fit perfectly.

I don't know what he means either. I've had the Basenor as well and they fit well and looked good. Maybe by "fit" he means more in the aesthetic sense?

No, they physically don't fit. The top clip will not stay on, and the contour doesn't match the body.

Sorry, if the Basenor are indeed the same as the Abstract Ocean ones I cannot say I experienced the same issue.

Fitment is perfect.

I wonder if they somehow sent you flaps for the Model Y instead of for the Model 3. They are different. You should use the return policy and get your money back.

 

[orntar]

I did return both sets.

Just ordered a different style (they only other style I found). Hopefully they fit, or I will installe the EV or give up.

Bottom line up front: go with the Rokblokz splash guards.

Had the Basenor and just switched to the Rokblokz splash guards. The Basenor versions will damage your paint if you don’t use PPF and they trapped a lot of debris behind them. I was quite surprised at how much debris got between the flap and the fender. Of course I used PPF and when I peeled the PPF off, guess what…yeah, some of that high quality Tesla paint came off. Super happy about that. The Rokblokz are a simpler design, don’t require PPF, and looks like they will do a better job keeping debris away from the car. And in my opinion, they look better/less obtrusive.

thw abstract ocean ones are just the shitty chinese ones with 4x the markup.
they are very good though.

For those who used the EV Mudflaps, did you put a screw into your rear bumper as the install video shows?

not sure what the ev mudflaps are - for the chinese ones you dont need to do it for the rear as they kinda clip on and stay very secure (even without ANY screws). The front ones you technically need to but i just put felt tape on the inside so they dont rub the clearcoat off which makes them secure enough with the felt tape friction.

Which ones are the Chinese ones?
