R1S Megawatt Slider with body panels

[SolrPower]

Definitely wasn't needed but does give a cleaner look if you ever get run over by a Rivian. Easy cuts via a bandsaw. Both front and rear pieces were connected by original mounting points and screws. I gave the rear some extra clearance for debris to fall out. As for mounting, I decided to use commercial rated velcro straps rather than drill any new holes into the mounting bracket. I'll gorilla tape over the straps for added hold. Perhaps version 2 of the sliders can include screw eyelets to secure the center panels? Some pics of the install and the exposed areas with the sliders.

Thanks for sharing. I've been trying to ponder how to perform the same steps on an R1T. You gave me some great ideas!

Thanks for sharing this! I also came on to share what I had done cutting up the body panels and putting them on. I have not done the center long piece yet. Any tips/lessons about assembling that?

If the people from electruck happen to be reading this, I would almost suggest that they include a printed paper template for those who want to DIY it.
I was about to trace the template out myself, but the moment I found the perfect fit, it had gone in, … and I’m like “not taking it out again” ?. Especially since for the front panels, I carved them so that they would fit both below and above the sliders, and attach back to the clip and notch in the front top.
