    I was considering buying this but I'll just stick it to my windshield instead. Thanks for your input.

    Blendmount for Model 3/Blackvue

    Is it meant to hang that far down? Doesnt look discreet at all.

    Just had my driver side replaced last week. Easier to notice during the day when only the signature lights are turned on.

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    I'm definitely not blaming Doug. Ive had the car for over a month and did a detailed inspection when I picked it up. I also hand wash it weekly and would notice something like this. The damage is definitely after the PPF since it looks like whatever hit it, cut through the PPF and hit the paint...

    I had it done at Concours in early August but it definitely wasn’t damaged when I picked it up.

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    Any thoughts on what could cause this damage? My car is at the Tesla service center getting the windshield and headlight replaced and I got a call from the technician saying he noticed some damage on my bumper. He said the paint is also flaking off like someone attempted to use touchup paint...

    Model 3 windshield replacement

    Has anyone gotten theirs replaced yet? I got a huge rock chip a few days ago and the service center is taking forever to give me a quote. My insurance normally works with Safelite but I'm leaning towards going with the Tesla Service Center.

    Do I need a new FasTrak responder?

    The new ones are significantly smaller. I had mine placed in the corner but it kept sliding around whenever I make a hard turn. I ended up plastidipping the back of it (the side that faces the inside) and mounting it to the window next to the rear view mirror. Its barely noticeable from the...

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    I had my follow up appointment last Saturday. According to Doug, the seams are standard for how they've been installing the PPF. He said its preferable to have the seam under the fog instead of in the center. Overall, I'm very happy with the install and the quality of work. All the edges that...

    Sure. Its kind of hard to get a good photo of the seam but here are some pics of my mirrors.

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    Yeah, that's horizontal seam that goes from under the fog light towards the center. Its hidden pretty nicely under the curve of the bumper. Honestly, its really hard to see unless you get really close. I'm just hoping that dirt doesn't get trapped in the seams and make it more visible in the future.

    Here are pics of the seams on the lower part of the bumper. Does everyone else have this same seam?

    I have a follow up appointment on Saturday to go over the car. I think its great that they go over the car with you in detail a week later to address any issues. I'm not concerned with Doug as hes always been very open and friendly. I just wanted to add to this thread as I'm not sure how...

    Recommended PPF installer in So Cal? (West side)

    Just picked up my car on Saturday. Overall, it looks great but I do have some seams under each of the fog lights. Ill upload some pics when I get home later tonight. Also, does anyone have their mirrors fully wrap? Mine only covers the front/top of the mirror when theyre open and there is a...

    FasTrak mounting

    Anyone encounter issues with their Fastrak Transponder working with tint? I recently got my car tinted with Suntek CIR and the transponder doesnt look like its being detected anymore. Its currently placed on my dash in the corner by the drivers side. i have 80% on my windshield and 40% on the...

    It was initially 3 days for just the PPF but I called to add in tint later on and it increased to 5 days. Doug was able to move things around and told me to bring my car in a few days later and he would have it completed in 3 days.

    Just dropped off my car this morning for front PPF and 40% tint. Cant wait to see how it turns out. I didnt get to meet Doug but his son was there to help me out. Cool guy.

    Model 3 Center Console Wrap

    I was finally able to redo my cupholder area and it looks much better. I'm so glad you included the extra piece. Didnt think I would need it since I'm usually really careful. Thanks Kenriko for putting together such an awesome set. The matte black looks so much better!

    Model 3 Center Console Wrap

    So I attempted to install the cupholder part yesterday and it was more difficult than I thought it would be. In the end I was finally able to get it aligned but when I started trimming the inside of the cupholder, I accidentally pulled off more than the part I trimmed. Oops. I'm so glad that...

    I just received my matte black Kenriko kit and it includes an extra strip. I'm assuming its for that strip on the phone charger area but I havent installed it yet.

    Pano roof?

    Its not worth the cost for me. I like the idea of it but I realize in all my previous cars with sunroofs, I rarely ever opened it. I also have a convertible but I rarely put the top down.

    Sunk-in hood

    Thanks! I ended up just turning the wheel to the side and removed a few clips from the wheel liner. I was then able to access the bolts holding the fender and bumper together. I just loosened the bolts, pushed the bumper a bit, and retightened it. It looks better but not sure its going to stay...

    How did your tint turn out? I have an appointment as Signature next week. I'm still trying to decide between 40% and 50% CTX.

    Sunk-in hood

    Does removing the frunk liner allow you to adjust the fitment between the front fender / bumper as well? I still have a fitment issue with my front fender overlapping my bumper. I took it to the service center and one side looks better but the other side is still off. I'll try to adjust it...

    I just put my deposit for full front PPF with Doug. His pricing was just too good. I called around to various shops in OC and they're all significantly more expensive. He did say that they very busy but not quite fully booked through August. So if youre considering Concours, just call and see...

    Grinding/noisy brakes

    My brakes have started to have a grinding feeling/sound at slow speeds. It seems like it started after I last washed my car. Could that have caused some corrosion on the rotors? I did use a wheel cleaner. I tried doing a few hard stops to clean off the rotors but that did not help. Then I...

    3D Maxpider Kagu Mats for Model 3

    Just installed mine last night and the fit is perfect. No gaps on the sides. I was planning to spray paint the logos but all I had was plasti dip. I'm hoping it doesnt wear off since the logos dont look to be in a location that will get much contact.

    Tesla loaner - supercharger idling fees?

    I'm curious too. I got a P85D loaner but they didnt include the J1772 adapter with the car. My adapter is still in my Model 3 which is still being serviced. When you pick up your loaner, make sure that you have your adapter or that the loaner has one. I've been struggling keeping it charged...

    Will Tesla give me ANY trade-in on my junker?

    You can try checking with damagedcars.com aka carbrain.com. I had a 2005 4Runner (200k+ miles) that was no longer running due to leaking head gasket. They gave me $1400 and sent a tow truck to my house to pick it up. The whole process was pretty smooth.

    Model 3 Turn Signal Quirkiness/Solution

    I've had no problems using the turn signals but my fiance always seems to turn on the highbeams whenever shes changing lanes. Not sure if its just at a weird angle for her but her primary car is a BMW 428i and I find the turn signals to be very similar.

    Anyone get autopark to work?

    I finally got the perpendicular auto park to work for me last night. I found that I had to drive fairly close to the parked cars and drive a little bit past the spot before I saw the P display. I was pretty nervous the whole time tho as it seemed to get really close to the parked cars.

    Front Fender / Bumper Gap

    First off, I want to say that I LOVE the Model 3. Coming from daily driving an S2000, the Model 3 feels so quiet, smooth, and has so many luxuries. Overall, my panel gaps aren't perfect but theyre acceptable to me. The only issue that's bugging me is where the corner of the front fender meets...
