My MYP is in service center getting some suspension repairs:
So I got a 1:24 diecast Model Y from China to keep me company since my car will be away for quite a while (should be much longer than the above estimate):
Good looking little model but it has calipers that spin with the wheels. That sort of stuff kind of bothers me.

Finished my to do list: dip, tint, taillights.

So much fun to drive quietly through the Smoky Mountains.
Sorry for not noticing this question soon, it does allow water through. There are channels on the backside and will drain out if the garage floor is sloped.

Where did you get those wheel covers? They look fantastic. The lighter shade on the blades, is that grey or carbon fiber pattern? Thanks!
Thanks. The taillights are smoke, so after I smoked the side reflector, the hubcaps were too bright but I still wanted to retain range and the OEM look.
I ultimately got the idea from this youtube video (start at 6:02)
They never revealed what they did but I replicated it with black replacement gemini covers and Anthracite Grey hyperdip. $200 all in. And if/when the dip fails, I'll probably paint them proper, now that I know I like it.
Thanks!!
So the black gemini covers that you bought are the aftermarket ones that are slightly larger and cover the lip of the gemini alloy wheel correct? Not the OEM covers that fit inside of the lip exposing the lip to possible dangers.

That has a lovely shine to it! Looks lovely!!It's been right under a month since we picked up the MYP. Went immediately to PPF, tint. Also had to repair two curb rashed wheels, which happened within 24 hours of delivery.
Added a screen protector the first night and bought some 3D floor mats, which are awesome.

Silly question time: Do you find the wheels rub on the arches at all? Hows the ride now?
No because that’s not my drive height. That’s my park height. The lower you go the more camber you have so the wheels tuck in more.
Below is my drive height (before I got the lip)
Right. Aftermarket black hubcaps specifically because I wanted to protect the wheels. Plus they did oem in the video which means you have to paint the exposed lip too.
They're all probably the same, but at the time these were the cheapest and included center caps. https://a.co/d/besYyjU

It’s car wash and wax morning here in Phoenix Az. Both my MYLR and my sons BoltEV are getting the hand washed treatment and detail. Started at 6:30am before the heat comes and we’re done at 9am. Basically used Chemical Guys products and we’re satisfied with the results.
