good question. it's really thick vinyl. cant speak to the outer layer durability. i see alot of Teslas running around with them, and haven't seen any plates that look beat up yet. got it from https://licenseplatewrap.com/

Wish they offered that here.. I'm tempted to cut up my metal plate to make it way smaller. I refuse to put the full plate on the front of my car, there's just no good spot for it

Not all today, but over the last week, mainly waiting on correct parts I wanted to replace all halogen bulbs with LEDs. Replaced all halogen bulbs with LED bulbs including resistors for front turn signals, Diode Dynamics side marker LED lights, Trunk light bulb to new LED fixture, Reverse lights, and replacement fixtures with LEDs for License Plate illumination. Much brighter in backup camera at night now.

Double , this is how the car should've come from the factory.

Well I dropped my car off this morning at a local shop for an oil change, trans flush, brake flush, and diff flush and then got a call 2 hours later saying my car was too low to fit on the lift so they couldn't work on it.

Nice, been considering a cue ball style shift knob myself, although I do like the stock one. Was it a pain to do?

Installed OEM footwell lighting

Install was in theory simple but man it sucked soooooo much. I understand the elder folk not wanting to go under the dash as my back still hurts

The bright side, at night it looks great and integrated into the OEM lights, interestingly it takes the same channel as the top section of lights on the doors and radio. I’m sure another wire is meant for the bottom section/cupholder. Fairly certain all it would take is some similar gauge wire and extra LED’s from a donor which I have somewhere to get even more lighting but we’ll see if I ever go under the dash again

I like the way it looks, but you just convinced me to skip this upgrade. Your comments brought back memories of installing my integrated front view parking camera that requires installation underneath and behind the glove box.

No, it was quite easy actually.

I installed this myself also. The hardest part, for me at least, was getting the bottom cover on the passenger side reinstalled. Had the hardest time trying to find the screw holes.
