Maxton kits for model S

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
In addition to some recent upgrades, I am considering the full Maxton kit for my 2019 Model S. I think it really looks understated but adds a greatly improved visual look to the standard car.

Is there anyone else who has this on either the S or any other Tesla who can tell me if adding these kits causes any issues to the driving experience? Particularly interested if it adds any rattles or wind noise both around town or motorway speeds? Or if anyone has add issues after any long period of time?

Thanks all!
 
Not personally keen on those myself, presumably designed to not cause a problem with air suspension lowering at highway speed (or perhaps that has to be disabled). If cleaning vehicle yourself then it makes the rear diffuser that bit more time consuming for the underside. The idea seemingly to give race-track ground effect look at speed I suppose.

Yeah, they don't add much to the ground clearance compared to other kits, and they aren't as "in your face" as other kits IMO anyway. Not too fussed on the cleaning aspect. I just dont want to get it then hear rattles or whistling wind noise and have a bunch of screw holes left if i have to remove it.
 
Currently in process....

Finally managed to get car professionally cleaned since I fitted the kit. Weather's just been awful. Some images for your pleasure.
Next steps are to get a ceramic recoat and my spoiler re attached to finish the look.
