Anyone trying these or have any experience with these?
Door Seal kit - Wind Noise Reduction (Cybergearco)

I’d give it a listen before ordering. It’s very quiet IMO,

I have rolls of that thing (cheaper version) from Amazon that I got with good intentions but never got around to putting them in.

Brown seat covers

Do you have any photos of the seat covers installed? Asking for a friend.

Curious what the budget conscious folks are doing for aftermarket wheels? Im looking at 18" Nokian Outpost nAT for tires.

If I decide to replace the OEM 18" wheels, I have a set picked out from Alibaba. Most all aftermarket wheels are made by the same mfg. plants you see on Alibaba. If you don't mind waiting 4-6 weeks for a set and are conscious of a little risk, you can save about 30-60%. The set I picked out was about $1400 shipped for 5 wheels (I wanted a spare). These were forged 18x9, offset 50mm.

If you want to stay with a US distributor/seller, I bought Atomic wheels for my Model 3 Performance. They were a good deal and very fine wheels.

I inquired about seat covers for the SAWD and pointing out the arm rest didn’t fold down to EVAAM and this was their response:

The good news is: our seat covers are 100% custom-fit for your car, and we’ve specifically designed them to work with the back seat armrest, even if it doesn’t fold down. You’ll get a snug, tailored fit without any gaps or issues.

Not sure I want to spend and find out they don’t fit but they look pretty good.

Says 30 day guarantee, so the risk is pretty low. If the fit sucks, return, if the look and quality sucks, return.

I have had great success with this vendor for our MYP so I ordered a set for my incoming SAWD CT.

Does closing the door need extra effort after installing these?

 

[Mini2nut]

Just a tad more. The doors now close with a more “solid” feeling.

 

[billyburger]

is there anyone thinking about adding a dashboard display aftermarket mod to their CT? The current interior is a bit too minimalistic for my taste and I'd love to add something like this to my dash. Or this one from Tesstudio.

Xpel ceramic is the brand. The windshield cost as much as all the other windows, but it is a beast size wise.

How noticeable is the 70% tint on the windshield compared to without, especially at night? I'm giving the windshield some thought, even though it's illegal in VA. I would suspect 70% is not really visible but should reject a good amount of heat.

I would think as long as you roll all your windows down before the officer reaches your door, you should be ok. Atleast here in Oklahoma they appreciate it.
They are more concerned about being able to see inside your vehicle than giving you a ticket.

I did 55% for the front windshield, so it's definitely darker the owner was there and said the darker is nice for "older eyes" and the glare of headlights on rural roads, etc. I also chose to do the XR not the XR+ so it doesn't have the blueish tint which I'm not a fan. So far I'm happy with it but also haven't done a lot of night driving yet. I can definitely feel that the ceramic is working though its hot in my area and that window is a huge opening for the sun.

The 70% honestly probably wouldn't even be noticed on the front windshield.

Not sure how you test it without opening! . I'll probably order a set they have a 10% off so genuine leather black seats are 369/shipped, no tax.
