Plastidip mirrors?
That's my last to do. Used the 3m vinyl for the rest. Mirrors don't look to be as easy. Maybe plastidip is way to go.
Did you remove them from car? How easy is the process?

I made a few mistakes and learned from them. I had to peel off the plastidip and redo the mirrors on one side. No need to remove the mirrors . Just watch the guys who put out a couple of YouTube videos I found that when I didn't follow their examples on masking,, I screwed it up. Lol. Also, I put the glossifier on it... Don't do it. Makes it sticky and never dried so, I'm in the process of dipping over that crap looking glossifier, which you can do with no ill effects . I mean it's not perfect and has some inperfections, but it's easy to do, cheap and easily replaced if you mess it up. Amazon has the plastidip for just over 5 bucks,, but autozone which has it twice as expensive will price match if you don't want to wait .

I wonder if anyone installed some Headlight Protection Film and may have any recommendation?

Is it really useful for protecting the headlight from getting damaged by gravels?

I would like to blackout the tail lights, slightly. Not sure how legal it is. Those headlights sure are pretty though, a little ppf layer might be a good idea!

Very frustrating Everyone selling lowering springs have them backordered I've waited over a month for tsportline springs and called unplugged performance and they're out for a month too. I hate the ride hight on this thing . HATE IT.

Copterguy - go old school for now (cheap old school) bricks and sandbags.

Sorry - no offense, but, had to go there though... but on a serious note, there are some for sale if you look under Tesla parts for sale.

Yes .just looked at it actually . Pricy. Not sure of the cost benifits . I saw another site showing unplugged performance springs for sale but don't want to buy and have them tell me it's backordered .
