Unplugged Performance fender flares installed [photos & video added]

[UP_Frank]

Just wanted to chime in here! We did have a charge port cover on the V1, however after extensive use and day to day testing, the flap just did not operate the way we intended it and we did not bring it to the V2. We opted to leave the port open because of this. Happy to gather your guys' feed back though, as it is always important to hear. Maybe I can convince to create something that can work with the V2 flares.

Is it possible to make the carbon fiber fender flares connect to the Cybertruck like OEM by removing the OEM fender flares ?

This was also explored, however with the amount of sensors in the OEM flares, it was deemed best route to not remove any of the OEM structure.

There is also this vinyl option

Fender Flare Wrap

I wouldn’t ever do fake cf vinyl (I like your textured vinyl, it’s just not the look I’m going for), but, I found this one that’s incoming. Still looks a little bit off for some reason.

It does not seem off to me and it actually has a charge port cover. It is $500 after 17% promo code vs $2500 to $3000 from the other 2 places

Yeah, the price looks great! And the design is exactly what I said I was looking for. But, it’s just the way it comes together in multiple pieces even in their promo image there’s a weird gap in one of the photos. I could’ve been more specific.

Here are some updated photos. Love the look. Great way to increase the width to fit my 35x12.5 tires.

You can never unsee the gaping charge port hole… even from the passenger side my mind still sees it..

There are sensors on the rear fenders?

@Bkb13, Nice setup. Are these the 20 inch Method wheels on the truck ?

Yes! +18 offset and 20”. Worked perfectly with my 35x12.5.

I like these much better than the earlier pyramid ones, although I'm slightly torn with the recesses for the charger port even though I realize it's necessary. Putting the recesses on the other ones to match for consistency was a good idea though IMO.

They might want to offer them in something other than carbon fiber also. Fender flares can take a lot of abuse, and carbon fiber is expensive to repair or replace when damaged. A thick wrap or paint on them might help if someone is super worried or drives their CT in the woods with branches or in off road conditions flinging a lot of dirt and debris.

But I still like the look of the carbon fiber as well especially cruising or around town, even if they might need a little more protection for off-road use.

Yessir. The Cybertruck uses Bluetooth sensors installed under the factory fender flares for things like proximity, tire pressure monitoring systems and more.
