Just ordered my terrestrial armor. Do you think it’s worth trying to get/install these first @Timthehelipilot ? Worried the SC might give me some grief about installing the terrestrial armor with the aftermarket bits already on there.
The control arm skid plates should not interfere in the least with the installation of the Tesla Terrestrial Armor. But your existing side-steps should probably be taken off.

The service center junked my rear air-dam deletes when installing the Tesla Terrestrial Armor, so you might wanna remove that to maybe offer to another forum member.

The side steps with the xpel armor are spoken for. If anyone wants the fairing deletes please hit me up. Steps went super fast. Got a dm within twenty minutes of loosely proposing they “might” be available. lol
The front fairing deletes were never installed so are new. The rear ones have been on there two months or so but are untouched and have all the clips. They are the bestevmod/evvida ones

I had my aftermarket skid plates before I had the package installed, but I just waited until after just so I didn’t have any issues. Also didn’t know if it would fit with the OEM terrestrial package. I say when in doubt let them install the package then install the aftermarket skid plates.

Thanks. That’s sort of what I was thinking. I’m on the fence about getting just the front control arm covers or the full front plate from rival. Any perspective on that?

I got both. Looks great, plus the stock skid plate is nice but I like the thicker Rival one better. All up to you if you want just the control arms to replace the plastic aero covers or want that plus a thicker skid plate.

Think I’ll get both. They really do look reassuring. Just wondering if it’s worth the hassle of getting it to fit with terrestrial armor but it sounds from your description like that wasn’t actually too bad.

Not bad at all. A little more work but I would say adds maybe 5 mins to install time vs not having the terrestrial package.

Same here, that's why I'm interested in more pictures from different angles and more info specifically the weight of each one.
