There's also this. Not quite a wrap, but more of an overlay. Don't have to deal with any disassembly. If anyone has purchased this, would like to hear how it looks! Accent-I: Interior Dash Trim Appliqué Kit | Aftermarket Accessories for Tesla Model S

Thanks! It's vinyl. I did it at Rolotech in Anaheim. Dave does good work! http://www.rolotech.net/index.php/jobs-done/tesla

Thanks! I'm not sure if law enforcement would be keen on that idea, though!

AMPd, yes I did. I had it done when I dechromed everything.

20's all around, non staggered.

I recommend Rolotech in Anaheim. Dave does great work. http://www.rolotech.net/index.php/jobs-done/tesla

count me in. 5500 miles; car 4.5 months old. 2/3 of the way down on the passenger side, starting on the edge. no crater or pitting. does anyone know if Tesla can do a mobile replacement? if not, how long did the replacement take at the service center? thanks in advance.

Sport (other modes seem too loosey-goosey) No creep (my previous car was a manual transmission; can't stand the creep) Standard regen

Awesome job. I'll take 2 please!

Ditto. They called it a "proactive" 12v battery replacement. Will schedule it in the next week or two.

thanks. the majority of the blemishes (swirls, holograms) were from dealer prep. i've had my car for about 10 weeks and have only done the 2 bucket method car wash since i had it delivered.

artsci, thanks for your hard work with this experiment! i ended up going with opti coat pro. i've included a link for those who would like to see a before and after. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151608505536133.1073741886.157160866132&type=1 btw, I'm in So Cal and would...

Thanks a bunch for the info, Todd. Another way to enjoy music for those who are considering ditching the 3G/Slacker service!

Sweet. Thanks. I've heard good things about 3M Crystalline as well, but some guys on this forum have noticed a reddish hue.

Yup, I got H.O. Ceramic on all the windows, except the windshield. I love it. No haze, bluish discoloration, with excellent optical clarity. No receptions issues at all. I'm considering getting the windshield done as well, down the road. Do any of your cars have the windshield tinted?

Thanks. I never really thought about wrapping that portion. I was just focused on blacking out the chrome. It does have a unique surface. I thought there was someone on this forum that did have it wrapped. I'll try to find it... Here u go...

thanks, i call her "K.I.T.T."! it has a nice turbo boost, even though it's not a performance!

you should be able to get any chrome on the car wrapped by an experienced installer. i had all my chrome and rear chrome diffuser wrapped with vinyl, no problem. i also had the chrome on the nose cone blacked out as well. unfortunately, i don't have a pic of that, but it can be done! :wink:

I'm thinking the 255 width may be the issue in the front. Even Elon had 245's in the front (265's in the rear) I believe. Not sure if the profile change would make a huge difference. Jerry33, am I totally off base here?

Sorry, just sold. Thx for the interest!

MNX, what's the offset on your rims?

Bump. These are still available if you're interested. Local to So Cal preferred

FYI, Pen Fed's servers have been down for the last 36 hrs and they are about that far behind with their loan processing.

I've read H.O. film has the best optical clarity with minimal haziness and bluish hue. Can you confirm? I've narrowed it down to H.O. ceramic or Wincos.

They're the standard 19" wheels. I don't even think they're making the aero wheels.

same here. i ordered them about a week ago and haven't received a tracking number either. it also took them about 4-5 days to clear my paypal payment which seemed a little longer than normal.

Got my VIN today! 4165 P8367. Hopefully delivery late next week

+1 Delivery window: 1/23-2/6 Still no VIN!

My delivery window is 1/23-2/6. Please PM me if interested. Thanks.

i think i'm just going to buy the Lloyd's aftermarket mats because i really feel Tesla is trying to jerk us around with this whole mat issue...

you're welcome! quick and dirty summary: OEM specs: 5x120 bolt pattern, 40mm offset, 64mm centerbore, hubcentric, M14x1.5 lugs with 170 N/m torque; per Jerry 33 (our resident wheel expert), don't want more than +/- 4mm on the new offset or +/- 2% on the revs/mile (anything more would prob need...

check out these threads, should have the info you need: 19 Turbine Wheel Solution Wheel Fitment Wheel Bolt Pattern?

will do. thanks, DrComputer! FYI... Patrick got back to me promptly. He has recommended not going wider than 9.5"

Dr. Computer, was wondering if you had any info to help me out. I had this question on a different thread, but I think this thread may be more appropriate... If I want to go with a staggered fitment with aftermarket wheels, does anyone know if 10" for the rear is TOO wide (rubbing issues...

If I want to go with a staggered fitment with aftermarket wheels, does anyone know if 10" for the rear is TOO wide (rubbing issues, etc)? I'm going 20x8.5 for the front with 245/40/20's. I was considering 265 or 275 for the rears and looks like the majority of 20" wheels come in 8.5" and 10"...

If you are in Southern California, I will be selling my 19"s soon after I take delivery some time in January (will be installing aftermarket wheels). I don't have a delivery window yet. If you're not in Southern California, I'm not sure how much of a pain/cost shipping would be. If you or anyone...

Thanks a bunch for the detailed experience and the note on the lug nuts. I wasn't aware of the specific lug nuts needed. Btw, what did you end up doing with the OEM19" rims? Sell or keep them? I'm guessing the Tesla service center did not buy them back. xhawk, let us know if your experience...

Let us know if you are able to have Tesla install your aftermarket wheels before or after you take possession (and also if you are able to have them delivered to the Tesla delivery center). I'm also planning on changing out the stock 19's at the time of delivery, so I'm curious. Thanks, xhawk101!

Call me crazy, but I ended up deferring for a couple of reasons! For the rare few that deferred delivery to 2013 , does any one know if the original delivery window still gets moved up in 2013? I've emailed Tesla, but no answer as of yet.

that's quite concerning. anyone else have that problem?

This thread should have the specs you're looking for: Wheel Bolt Pattern? From my readings: Bolt pattern: 5x120 Offset: 40mm Centerbore: 64mm Hub centric

i was actually thinking the same thing. i'll have to talk to a local shop and see what they can do. my guess, for worst case scenario, they would be able to cover just the outer chrome portion of the handle.

any custom car wrap shop should be able to "black out" the chrome pieces.

DrComputer, thanks for the 411 and pics. Looks great! I thought Tesla was installing Avery for the paint armor, no?

So did you order the Tesla Paint Armor option and just have Star Shield remove the 1/3 hood coverage and rewrap the entire hood with the Avery? If you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge?

aftermarket 20" wheels (245 front/265 rear) may vinyl wrap all the chrome with black/CF

Would the potential of an even better Performance model sway you to purchase it? Looks like this article states a potential upgrade wouldn't be available for non-Performance models. Tesla Developing More Performance-Oriented Model S | Autopia | Wired.com

great pics, DaveVa! i like that combo, too. thanks for taking the time! :D

DaveVa, Any way you can snap a pic of your lacewood with the black interior? Thanks!

sweet wheels! if you don't mind sharing, what are the specs on your 22's? are those 255's with a 35 profile? regarding the rims, i know the bolt pattern of the model s is 5x120. for your 22's, what offset did they use and was the center bore 66mm without a centering ring?
