The skid plates overall I think are a good upgrade to protect the motors and other electronics. The plastic aero shields provide very little protection in comparison.
They are expensive at $625 for the set plus shipping. I was able to get them on sale for $469 + $100 shipping + state sales tax
The front skid plate was good but the rear skid plate had a differnt type of backing material than the front. The rear also had the backing misaligned and the backing was bubbling and lifting. I contacted them and sent pictures and waiting to hear back. I was disappointed with the quality of the rear skid plate I received due to the problems with the backing matierial. I will update the post when/if RPM Tesla responds.
I wound up cutting the backing and poking holes to fix the bubbling and alignment issues. I installed both today and my initial test drive was good. The plastic aero shields were very noisy for me. The skid plates do have some flexibility also to get a good fit.
Lastly the front has several small round holes to allow water to drain off. The factory aero shield ..expecially in the front seems to trap a lot of dirt and water.
