Ran over a tire :/

[Jejunjm]

Hi,

Ran over a tire (fragments) at 75 mph. Quite frustrating. Luckily mostly exterior cosmetic damage however it looks like the plastic tray popped out and the fabric ripped. Does anyone have experience with the Rpm product (link below)? Is this the piece I need to replace (it's a bit challenging for me to tell...). Does anyone besides Rpm sell it (rpm doesn't have the best rep.)



Does the skid plate from mountain pass replace that piece? Thanks so much.

You were lucky. I hit a tire carcass in my G37 last year causing $3,200 of damage.
I have had excellent experience with RPM Tesla. What I want to know is do the plates actually cut down road noise?

They do when sandwiched with the OE fabric or plastic aero up front.

In the back, cant sandwich them as the OE metal brackets get in the way. So you either ruin the OE rear aero in hopes of making both fit or you just use the metal one alone. YMMV.

Any damage to paint?.. Bumper? Could have been worst. Glad you OK.
