I did a Google search but only got hits on plastic and paper replacements. But now I'm seeing them come up. Thanks!

To add a name to the mix of manufacturers I came across Lostar on Amazon. They claim that they're anodized aluminum.

Aluminum is aftermarket. First gen is cardboard, 2nd gen is hard plastic. I replaced mine with aluminum. mine are still new if anyone wants them.

How long have you had them on for? How are the aluminum pieces holding up (only dents or showing signs of degradation at bolt sites, rusting away)?

I just put them on a month ago or so! Soon as I got the car! The noise also less! I think plastic would of been good! Compare to first gen! If you have first gen, I’d go with plastic first! You can sell the car with that on and I think It does a good job! At least tougher than foam material. Aluminum is little more cost and having someone to exchange is a hassle because no one will touch Tesla. Even service centers. I was lucky enough to have Audi dealership do it but they roped me off. It would of been better with plastic. What’s done is done but plastic is still better than old foam.
