    The only thing that matters is if you like it and it brings you joy. Ignore the haters, it's not their car! Personally, I think the covers look great and those mudflaps tie everything together. Can't wait to see you apply the PPF yourself. I'm curious if it will be any easier or more difficult to put on MSM versus white.

    Just want to make sure I get this right: you only used one jack and jacked up one corner at a time to do this correct? When you jack up the one corner do you put anything under the other jack points at all? Thanks for the video, very informative, I’ve been eyeing on getting some but thought installation would be too hard to do myself and too expensive to do getting someone to do it 👏🏼

    • @BeardedTeslaGuy
      @BeardedTeslaGuy  Год назад

      It is the only way to do this since the jack will have to use the jack point. You can't place a jack stand there because the jack itself is taking up that jack point. So yes, I did one corner at a time.

    I had that style of mudflaps and found that they trap dirt between the mudflap and the body and end up scratching the paint. I do like the look better, but removed them and will be putting the larger flat mud flaps that don't wrap around the side of the car body. This was on the M3 maybe the MY is better with the black trim around wheels.

    @BTG - I installed these exact same ones from Evannex on my 2021 Model Y.
    They look amazing and definitely add some pop of color and contrast.
    After a month however, the front driver caliper came loose and the bottom metal bracket started hitting my rotor or tire and was making a very scary noise. I ended up towing the car to be safe, but basically carry a screwdriver or tool to readjust it if it gets loose. I’m going to remove the calipers if it happens again.

    Very worried about heat dissipation. The pad contacting the rotor the whole time generates a huge amount of heat. (probably less in a Tesla due to less using of the brakes, but still, lots of heat, especially on road trips.) I'd feel better if these had holes/gaps in them to let air in and out.

    I would say that even if you can get the whole side of the car up with one jack, definitely use something under the other jacking point whether an axle stand or 2nd jack. I bought a low entry jack recently as my old jack didn't fit, but once the car is high enough my old jack will go under the other jacking point. Just to be safe!

    I think those caliper covers are great. Do you think i could paint them before installing? Seems easier to paint them instead of the actual calipers….

    1. Did you have any trouble removing the bolt on the bottom of the fender to install the back mudflaps? I only installed the front because I've seen so many videos where the bolt on the back ones gets unseated and won't come out properly.
    2. Would these caliper covers work with the 19" gemini rims? (wondering about clearance between the caliper cover and the rim)

    • @BeardedTeslaGuy
      @BeardedTeslaGuy  3 года назад +1

      No issue at all with the bolt. The caliper covers work for the Gemini wheels too!

    • @LitoCortes
      @LitoCortes 2 года назад

      The bolt getting unseated is what happens to me and the bugger would not come out. My only solution for the moment was to put the mudflaps and actually use the hole ring where the screw goes through to essentially hold the screw in place. It goes without saying that I did not try removing the screw on the passenger side.
