I installed the mud flaps from EVVida/@BestEvMod(AOSK). It seems to be good quality but since I don't have the Tesla ones, it's hard to make a comparison but below are my first impressions and the installation process.
They included the mud flap pieces, 2 different variation sets of push pins (one set for a tighter fitting, one set for ease of install/removal), 2 metal clips, 1 metal pry tool.
The installation process was straight forward. After putting the Cybertruck in extract mode to help with the height/install angle and cleaning the trim areas, the provided pry tool was able to remove the OEM push pins easily. I saved them in case they're needed later.
The front two flaps appears to be taller than the OEM Tesla flaps. Unlike the rear flaps that used all the removed push pin locations, the top of the front flaps uses a metal clip to secure it to the existing plastic trim piece behind it plus the other existing push pin holes.
My only surprise are the concave cavities of each mud flap that faces the tires. My assumption was this area would be flat but each mud flap has a concave cavity angled toward the rear of the truck that matches the shape of the other side of the flap. I'm not sure if this was done on purpose as these cavities may catch/retain road debris or mud which could cake onto the flaps' insides over time and potentially increase drag.
Overall, it's hard to complain about the set since it's much less expensive than the Tesla version. I'm curious how they will hold up over time.
