Mud Flaps Recomendation

[1plavs]

I make use of the RPM's Mud Flaps. Installation was easy. They were well made as with all of their stuff. No drilling of additional holes in the car to mount.

I had those and I also tried Tesla Shields mud flaps. Both of them had the issue where the contour doesn't match the body on the front right side.

Which ones are the Chinese ones?

All of the plastic ones that look the same are the Chinese ones. The RPM Tesla, the Abstract Ocean, the Tesla Shields, the Basenor (on Amazon), and [insert any other brand name] from Amazon are all the same.

So sorry about this question but I am new here. I have no idea how to get the push screws out to enable me to fit the mud guards. I am sure there is an easy way but it escapes me. Any help would be appreciated.

Use a small screwdriver and insert along the edges of the push tab and gently pry off. You probably got new push screws with your aftermarket mud flaps so the original ones can be tossed. There are YouTube videos on this installation as well.

I'm debating adding mudflaps on my car but I'm worried about speedbumps and steep driveways. Do you guys have any issues with scraping or destroying the mudflaps?

 

[rjpjnk]

Never had an issue with mine scraping. I chose the Tesla flaps because I believe they are the best looking and have coverage in the right spots.

For the Tesla M3 OEM front flaps, I felt the base flaps were too short but the extensions were too long, so I cut the extensions shorter.

Tesla Model 3 OEM Mudflaps

Hi All, I received my tesla mudflaps for my model 3 a couple months ago when i got the HW3.0 retrofit. They said it would be as easy to install as ikea furniture so I agreed to install it myself. The past weekend I took a shot a installing it and I will definitely say it is harder than most...

Second that. I was in the first batch that received those Tesla OEM flaps and I installed them as soon as I got my new car. The rigid plastic part was too short. The long flexible rubber extension rubbed everywhere. In any case, after the 11 days I ran these before my PPF appointment the bottom of my doors was already scuffed (from rock and sand projections). When I took them off I saw that there was a hole that they were not protecting where gunk would accumulate in the car's body. Would not recommend for any type of harsh climate.

Are the Tesla OEM ones only for the front?

If so, do you use any on the rear?

I tried the molded type flaps and in front they cracked and ripped apart after sliding under snow and ice. Not worth it. I’m still debating on Rally Armor.

On my 2021 M3 Refresh (May 2021 Freemont) that are already mud flaps on. Are these not adequate and should I mount some other or bigger or?

I believe Tesla only sells front flaps for the Model 3. To protect the paint at the back they sell a PPF kit.

Being in Canada, the front flaps came free with my car. The base flaps were preinstalled. I cut and added the extensions myself (which were left loose in the trunk). I didn't add the PPF or anything else at the back.

See those are the worst kind that you can get. Over time they get filled with leaves, dirt and road debris.

Just removed the cheap plastic ones that everyone sells. Left rub marks on the paint and I would not recommend them.

Today I installed the Rokblokz splash guards, so I don’t have any driving feedback yet, but I absolutely love how they mount, and they appear very robust.
