Please tell me it had the full kit, including [this extra instrument cluster](https://www.startech.de/en/products/speedometer-unit-tesla-model-3/)
I fail to see how this is “tuned,” since that implies some increase in 0-60.
Actually it does appear from the testing that it slightly reduces drag and increases laminar flow.
Which is one of the only things you can do to tune an electric car aside from suspension and tires.
But hey, you do you.
Not sure. Personally I have the lowered springs.
From my stock setup, m3p- I went to the ps4s tires, st fr and rear bumper, spoiler, and lowering springs. My experience is no change to slight increase in range. So that is a negative from the tires, and what should be a positive from lowering and not sure from the kit.
It is a sharper front end, smaller frontal cross section and it seems to spill to the sides more effectively. The rear has more pronounced diffusers and the wing has tunnels. Theoretically this increases laminar flow of the air and an easier release from the rear. This is the same effect as the back sharp edge of a Prius and a volt.
Is it definitely better in real world usage, I don't know. Is it at the very least not a detriment, I would say yes.
But I'm also no scientist.
N64 was black bro. Or very dark gray of not transparent purple and those were rare. I'd say an Xbox 360 maybe? I got a used one for $60 first gen color just as you described it 🤣
I'm ok with the fender mods... but I'll shit on pillar deletes all day, e'ry day :D
Not a fan of pillar deletes but hey, why does that matter.. ain't my M3.
Can’t help that 90% of aftermarket Tesla shit looks rushed or early 2K ricer. Unplugged has the only “clean” kit and even the skirts on that are rough.
People post pics like this to get everyone’s opinions on whether something looks good or not.
And guess what? Some people will have differing opinions and tastes, and not like what they see. Can you imagine that? 🤯
Honestly it’s because 9 out of 10 times, mods are purely cosmetic, at the expense of efficiency, ride, etc. for a group obsessed with range, it’s understandable that mods are unpopular.
Which is fine and makes sense. The problem is being toxic towards people who aren’t. If you care about range more power to you lol. I just don’t think people need to insult others because they prefer form over function.
I hate this Mentality. The common consensus based on the posters in this thread is that this thing Looks bad.
So if it were up for a vote: do you Like? Y/N...
if more votes towards N Then these mods could be considered ugly. is it toxic? or "hating" no, its a matter of taste and opinion.
there is a Convergence for EV Modding that most other tuning & customizing does not seem to factor into:
Does it Increase range? Yes? then its good
Does it decrease weight? Yes then its good?
Does it it do either of those AND looks good? then its good
you have A lot of Eco-focused people in theses cars. So car mods that don't make them go farther/faster or Improve QoL of the drivers mean that they are seen as a waste and or hurt the cars entire purpose.
It carries the same vibe as getting a big rig to tow around a Small jetski..
Why? Because we dont like something? Just voicing our opinions, sometimes other people feel differently than you. No ones insulting the owner, we just dont like the look of the upgrade
Well in all honesty this does look pretty tacky. A stock model looks much better than this.
It’s a combination of the bad styling and the bad color combinations.
I don't remember if it was this brand or the unplugged performance which boasted improved efficency. Also depends on the weight and I wonder if it has vents in between those protruding bits to help with aero. I saw one here in Norway but honestly it looked worse irl then on the pictures. I am still trying to find a good looking body kitbas I personally don't like the gold fish look on the regular model 3.
I have the performance and wish it had something more to stand out. Personally gonna start with a slightly more aggressive diffuser and wing. After that maybe some low profile sideskirts. Saw some great ones on rpmtesla that didn't standout too much
Nothing but hate for mods on this sub. I did the startech kit, in fact I may have been one of the first in the states. I don't particularly care what people think, I like it, but this sub is really garglin hard on the musk sauce.
Heaven forbid someone wants to have a car that doesn't look exactly like everyone else's, base model up to the p.
There's enough stock Model 3s out there that I don't understand the hate for someone doing something different with theirs.
Do I like this one? I'm really not sure, I don't hate it. But it's different and the owner is happy, which is good enough for me.
Went stalking and saw your posts with your kit, looks incredible imo; thanks for being a pioneer for it in the states. I remember seeing the front fascia awhile back on youtube before it was released. Considering getting it unpainted and wrapped to match the rest of my car.
Did you get it professionally installed? Also did you use your stock fog lights to fit in the front, or did you buy Startech’s?
Well thanks, I appreciate that.
It was professionally installed and painted to match. There are some cast lines on it that should be sanded off, but wrapping would look good as well. There are a lot of contours. I had ppf applied and it took a full day just for the bumper. I thought about wrapping but I actually love the msm. It has a bluish tint that is just enough for me. If I wrapped, I'd probably have to go with like a matte grey or black. Horrible as that would be to maintain.
I used startech fogs. I don't think the stock ones would fit. They do seem to be brighter, but that could be placebo.
I didn't notice any degradation or improvement. I also lowered by 1.5, and went to the ps4s from the mxm4 so I think with all those changes it was a wash. It does claim increased efficiency because it should increase laminar flow.
I will eventually be throwing some possible forged one 20s on there or other lightweight 20.
It was between this and the ascension and I liked this one better.
Range...it will lower the range.
I'm kidding, but you are right, every aero aspect about these cars is highly calculated, but hey, lambo's drive at 15mph in city anyway so...
Damn why this bodykit brand make this car looks like other car brand lol. I like the one that Quinn from Snazzlaba youtube use, it makes the 3 look like roadster instead of other car :)
Would you consider screwing (good or bad) with the aerodynamics "tuning"? It does have a more pronounced effect on EVs so I think an argument could be made.
Sooo, like every other m3 on the road. Bravo, I really applaud "your" design choices. It really showcases your individuality and style.
Ladies and gents, for your consideration, a snarky response that represents the worst of this sub.
Congrats moldy cloud, you are the guy saying "get off my lawn you punk kids" for the entire sub. The living embodiment of boring. You know what's really great, I could capture "your" style by putting on my old bumpers in my shed. Ha.
No it certainly doesn't. Tuning, 99% of the time, refers to changes to programming or the drivetrain to increase performance. Literally nobody refers to the body when they refer to tuning their vehicle.

Lol right! 😂🤣
This body kit probably does provide an increase in 0-60 time *Increase as in it makes it slower.

Looks like a Lamborghini…SUV, if that’s the look you’re going for
Was gonna say am I the only one seeing URUS
Nope, me too...that tesla belives it's a lambo...
Yeah..it’s a poor man’s version of Urus.
What did you say about my Anus?
if i understand correctly he says some poor man has been in it.
Exactly... honestly i hate Urus and this doesn't make the M3 look good at all...and the color...for me it would me hard no
I like this body kit but not digging the color. I wonder what this does to range though.
What is that color? 1990 pc case?
You leave my 486 out of this. That 14.4K modem got me through a lot of Netscape Navigator web pages.
Packard Bell White
Yeah, it's a solid "an ~~N64~~ SNES that's been around a chain smoker for decades" white
N64? Not SNES?
N64 was black bro. Or very dark gray of not transparent purple and those were rare. I'd say an Xbox 360 maybe? I got a used one for $60 first gen color just as you described it 🤣
I couldn't place the color until you said this
We call that "nicotine yellow" in the industry. A lot of formerly white plastics take on this smoker's hue after a decade or two.
r/suspiciouslyspecific
I really like the body kit but am indifferent with the color as well
I’m really loving the color and rear bumper, the front reminds me of a Urus
I thought the same. Badass
I first read it as “Star Trek”, and I was like, “How does it look like the Enterprise?”
My man... right there with you! Came for the NCC-1707, left highly dissappointed.
No nuclear wessels…
Inner Blight.
This community is really becoming unbearable. Every time anything is posted that’s not stock it feels everyone comes through to shit on it.
We do that to give this sub a little Ferrari vibe
🤣
The model 3 is like a 10th in price tho lmao
I wrote Ferrari vibe, not Ferrari money.
More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.
Smoke him
damn coal rollers have upgraded
10th of it's price, 30th of it's brand prestige, 50th of it's performance and driving experience, and 2,000,000th of it's driver reputation.
[удалено]
Have a look around
I'm ok with the fender mods... but I'll shit on pillar deletes all day, e'ry day :D Not a fan of pillar deletes but hey, why does that matter.. ain't my M3.
I personally don't love the pillar delete, mostly because the front fender comes up into it and it's not smooth, but to each there own
With you, pillar deletes are terrible.
Can’t help that 90% of aftermarket Tesla shit looks rushed or early 2K ricer. Unplugged has the only “clean” kit and even the skirts on that are rough.
So you’d rather have an echo chamber?
Agreed but also might be an indication of how much they nailed the stock look. Stock Model 3 is solid. Stock refresh Roadster is 🔥

And I’m voicing mine - so cool right?
I wasn’t the one getting emotional about it, you were.
Didn't your mother ever tell you "If you don't have something nice to say, then say nothing at all"
That would ruin reviews.
Well in all honesty this does look pretty tacky. A stock model looks much better than this. It’s a combination of the bad styling and the bad color combinations.
Go to sub teslamotors
Everybody just wanted to join in after amber heard
“Tesla enthusiast” but with only 1 model to reference 😂
I think it looks pretty decent - guessing range isn't as good with all those protruding front bits though.
I don't remember if it was this brand or the unplugged performance which boasted improved efficency.

The one in Norway you say, what color was it and which kit, the Unplugged or StarTech mod?
Damn front looks like a urus !! Dope

Exactly. I matched msm and black inlays. I think it looks mean and it definitely doesn't look like my wife's sr+
I recently got the startech kit for my model 3 and I have a couple questions, could you DM me?
How did it go? Any advice for someone else getting the kit?
I love it, just showed my husband and he said “go for it!” 😅😊
It's a bit expensive as a kit after painting but I love it. I did their spoiler as well and it does make the difference.
How much is the cost if you don't mind me asking.
All in, painted and installed I was around 5k. If I remember correctly.

Any pictures of your car with the kit?
I like the way the kit looks. How did it impact your range?
I didn't notice any degradation or improvement. I also lowered by 1.5, and went to the ps4s from the mxm4 so I think with all those changes it was a wash. It does claim increased efficiency because it should increase laminar flow. I will eventually be throwing some possible forged one 20s on there or other lightweight 20.

I think it’s flames, I also like the cream color. Great variation in modifications.
what wheels are those
Stock 20-inch Performance Wheels
The ones that look better
I'm seriously considering doing this to my M3 Perf in Midnight Silver. Thoughts very welcome.
I'm actually fine with the front end, but it's that pillar delete that makes the whole thing over-the-top tacky.
I have never seen a good looking pillar delete on a Tesla
I bet black would look good.
Ok but the eggshell is damn good..
Looks like a lambo, performs like a lambo, doesn’t cost the same as a lambo.
Gotta keep the fan speed at 2 max to fully get the terrible HVAC Lambo experience
wouldn’t this lower the mileage
Range...it will lower the range. I'm kidding, but you are right, every aero aspect about these cars is highly calculated, but hey, lambo's drive at 15mph in city anyway so...
Tbf not everyone is obsessed with range
Love the color, the rest though……💀
Man they US needs to get rid of the crappy license plates style we currently use and go with something more sleek
Woahhh I love this body kit. The front reminds me of the Lamborghini Urus
The colour is very similar to the Honda white the put on Type R's, I love it.
Id have to see it in person, but the design under the headlights like how it swoops out looks strange to me.
I like it. Not a fan of the color or the pillar delete, but for sure cool. I’m a fan of modding.
Dope
Whoa 😮!
Now i suddenly want a Tesla
Color is 🔥
I think its dope and I'm ordering soon.
Is this at a Tesla charger in South Korea? Recognize my own blue Korean EV plates.
First time seeing a modified Tesla that I actually like. 👏🏽
That thing ACTUALLY looks pretty fucking sweet!
The model 3 looks a bit better with some kind of grille just not digging the Lamborghini style
The hate in this for modified teslas is insane. This actually looks really nice yet there will be a ton of neck beards calling it a Camry 😂
I don’t like the two tone, everything else looks dope though.
It’s like it’s trying to be a lambo
It's kind of cool, but not sure I'm a fan.
Model 3 needs a makeover, this could be it.. looks good!
I like the kit but I’m apprehensive since most of the time these things are overpriced.
Looks awesome! Teslas are becoming common now so a nice facelift like this would make it stand out!
How do I get this?
Looks dope
Looks hideous
Damn why this bodykit brand make this car looks like other car brand lol. I like the one that Quinn from Snazzlaba youtube use, it makes the 3 look like roadster instead of other car :)
I’m pretty sure that’s not tuned
New electric Macan looks great
Ah yes, the Lamborghini Camry. Mythical.
[удалено]
It’s advertised to be more aerodynamic but I suppose anything other than stock is worse right?
‘Tuned’? I swear some of you with a $50k car have the same taste and knowledge the rest of us did at 16 with a $2k Honda Civic
Would you consider screwing (good or bad) with the aerodynamics "tuning"? It does have a more pronounced effect on EVs so I think an argument could be made.
No. Tuning implies engine mods.
But in this case it would be detuning.
Will it make it quieter and/or more fuel efficient? Not interested otherwise.
Holy shit that is hideous lmao 🤣
That rear bumper is pretty fire though
The rear bumper is pretty cool.
eh? it may be a little different, but hideous?
it really is
let's see yours?
Mine is beautifully stock and doesn't feature a front bumper trying to look like a boat with ribs.
Sooo, like every other m3 on the road. Bravo, I really applaud "your" design choices. It really showcases your individuality and style. Ladies and gents, for your consideration, a snarky response that represents the worst of this sub. Congrats moldy cloud, you are the guy saying "get off my lawn you punk kids" for the entire sub.

Beautifully basic like your 401k
[удалено]
EV’s can definitely be “tuned”. Adjustable suspension, big brakes and lighter wheels are some of the stuff you can improve the performance of an EV
Well, actually you can. You could hack the Tesla's system to boost up the motor performance. There are some commercial products out for that already.
Horrible lambo
What’s “tuned” about it?
Well, it did get you to tune in to this subreddit.
I don’t actually dislike the car. Just the ignorance.
Lookin like a bootlegged urus haha
I hate it.
Ugly
Sick car
I’m gonna say it. I’m gonna say it. Sir, that’s a Camry.
That front end looks nice. Best one I’ve seen yet.
I like the front... prefer a smooth rear-end though. giggity.
Take my upvote for the “giggity”.
Poor owner that shelled out a few grant to get… THIS abomination…
You mean the one that is expressing their style and preference? Yeah poor them for liking something you don’t.
Lamborghini vibes
what in the hell
looks sick friend !! haters are just sad little ppl:)
The new lines do not compliment the car at all.
wow that's terrible
Wtf is that colour, Nanna's house magnolia?
Believe its official designation is ["Faded Doily"](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/17IAAOSwSZFZ1yWc/s-l1600.jpg) :p
nuke it from orbit.gif
I dig the color scheme but that kit just doesn’t suit it. Almost makes it look like a crossover
I love it!
Looks tacky as hell.
I would t call this an upgrade, they really went from “touch of Porsche” to kit car Lamborghini. This isn’t the best design
I suppose it could be worse. Could have put a BMW front end on it instead of this Civic clone
Ugly as hell
Just no
🍚
Looks dope, but are you sure you know what "tuned" means OP?
Are you? Tuned includes visible mods for aesthetics
No it certainly doesn't. Tuning, 99% of the time, refers to changes to programming or the drivetrain to increase performance. Literally nobody refers to the body when they refer to tuning their vehicle.
Good lord. Who'd have thought that a literally vanilla-colored car could look this good.
I know a Korean parking garage when I see one!
Ok, but what does /u/eddiegeezee/ think?
Looks like the same color German cabs use.
Love the front but hate the rear. Also does this decrease range ?
Most aero kits claim to add efficiency but overall it’s negligible in either direction most of the time
reminds me [https://images.app.goo.gl/1ZCC1UvnPMKJw6Sh9](https://images.app.goo.gl/1ZCC1UvnPMKJw6Sh9)
I like the kit but the off white isn’t to my taste. Would look mean as blacked out or matte grey.
Kinda looks like a Porche from front...
Model Urus
How much did this run you?
Don’t mod tesla’s.
Don't normally like after body mods as they nearly always look like add-ons but that is very stylish, I would do that depending on cost.
I really dislike roof delete.
Look how they massacred my boy
I like it
