Hey everyone! I crafted a PPF kit to address the "strike zone" on the lower half of the Model Y rear doors where they flare out and are impacted by grit and gravel spray from the front tires. Until there's a decent front mudflap something needs to be done, and I'll still use this even after mudflaps are available. Below is an image of it installed and dirty to illustrate protection against debris.

The kits are hand cut 8 mil 3M clear vinyl and I include a felt-covered squeegee. The install lube (water and baby shampoo mix recommended) is not included. There are 9 kits available at the moment. More will be made depending on demand.

$50/set + S&H

I'll take one. I'll reach out in a "conversation" to arrange payment/address. Thanks again for doing this.
 
Thanks everyone. I’ve ordered more material due to the surprising response on various discussions on TMC and should have more available in a couple of days. I didn’t realize how popular this would be but I’m glad to be able to help keep everyone’s haunches safe. Cheers and stay safe.

I am interested in the PPF for the rear doors. I waited too long and have some small chips already. I do not want it to get worse.
 
I just installed Freewheeler's PPF kit. It was easy and fit perfectly. The whole process took less than 30 minutes and I was going slow as this was my first time applying PPF. I forgot that when I had the full front done, the shop added door edge strips so my fitment was a bit tricky. But these cuts were very accurate and butted right up to the existing edge strips.
Once I got the shop light down for the prep work I noticed how much damage I've already incurred in less than 2000 miles. I would recommend protecting this area on your MY ASAP. For reference, I put 1000 miles on the Uberturbines/pzeros and then about another 1000 with 20" Martians/Vredesteins. I'm an aggressive driver, but no rough roads or mountain driving yet, so the damage was an unpleasant surprise.

I can only second Jacopa. Easy to install. Took me maybe 30min but only because I wanted it perfectly aligned. This isn’t 100% protection but it does cover the most impacted area. Unbeatable for the price compared to a professional installer.
