Which mud flaps do you use?

[regazzoni]

I bought a while back the BASENOR on Amazon. They seem to be great from a functional perspective. But I never installed them. I felt they look to utility given the size and plastic.

Are there alternatives? e.g. smaller ones that don't extend onto the fenders. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/LUCKEASY-Ext...ocphy=9021467&hvtargid=pla-2061651146281&th=1
Or body painted color?

Problem with MYP and using non Tesla flaps, most are too long and hit the road at times and loosen
Perf version is lower to the ground
Think for all other models and M3, all flaps work

How doe the guards look installed? I clicked on the link shared above and it looks like I like the left version. But the right has long flaps extending to the ground?

The mud flaps look fine
You install for protection
They don’t hurt the look

I prefer the Tesla brand, because they install them and if they fall off, it is their problem to fix.

I'm using the Luckeasy ones OP linked to in the beginning. Don't touch the paint, easy install and very minimalist. Came with 6 pieces, I only used 4. I'm hearing less small rocks pinging underneath. I need to use it through a winter to see how well they perform. I already have ppf on my rocker panel and didn't want anything too noticeable.

Those are only for the front though aren't they?

Front flaps intend to protect the rockers
The back flaps intend to protect the back of the rear fenders and give a matching look, but def not as necessary as rhe front flaps
State intend due to nothing is perfect

How did you get them to do that? Did they reach out or did you submit a service request or something? I ordered these a couple weeks ago and I haven't gotten around to installing them yet.

Interesting question. I had these and made a request to service for a mobile teach to install. When I got the estimate, I reached out to service, through the app, and notified them that I had the flaps in my possession, so they removed the item and made the estimate $0 and the tech came over and did the install. He ripped out the old flaps and put in the new longer ones.

They scrape occasionally but I prefer that to killing the rockers with stones. Also, I subscribe to the school of paying someone to do the job once As opposed to this very old man, screwing it up.

Funny, I bought these a few weeks ago. I was worried about installing as I had installed some others on my Model 3 previously and they were a PITA. The ones you linked are super easy to install and are much cheaper.

Tesla will install their mud flaps for $0?

 

[melvladimir]

Recently I installed the following mud flaps (ordered from AliExpress, ~14$). They are almost invisible and if you see them - they look great! But less protective than the original (I guess).
Installation takes 15 minutes. Very easy.

My solution to that problem.
