2020 Model 3 Performance white on white (before & after pics)

[Emerald3]

Took delivery right before the stay home order, waited 5 weeks for this build, it was scheduled for production the day Tesla was closing down their Freemont factory. There was this exact configuration at their Portland dealership, so we had the VIN transferred to us, then drove down for pickup, otherwise we would probably still be waiting as we wanted white on white interior. Here is "Casper"

Auto Salon (Accutint Bellevue) installs:

• Chrome Delete (3M Satin black)
• 50% windshield/30% window tint
• Opti-Coat Ceramic throughout including wheels, caliper and wheel drums
• Expel Paint Protection Plus (full hood, full front, door sills, door edges and bumper lip

Aftermarket stuff:

1. I added some mud flaps off Amazon
2. MAXpider floor and trunk mats
3. Electrician installed a plug outlet for NEMA 14-50 level 2 charging (I get about 40amps using the mobile charger included now )
4. I wrapped the center console with the EV Wraps matte deep black kit
5. CarPro CQuartz leather ceramic coating all white interior

If anyone is thinking of doing similar, let me know if you have any questions. This car is amazing, loving it so far, now there are 5 Tesla's on our street!

Hope you had 3m clear bra under the mud guards. I saw pics of a few people's cars who had paint damage under them due to vibrations + dirt.

I don't but thought about that as I had mud guards years ago on another car, when I took them off I saw some paint damage. These came with a double sided tape to "seal" the against the paint/body so I am hoping it turns out better this time with that application.

Looks awesome! Did you darken the headlights as well?

Do you have a front POV pic of your car with the side mirrors open and another pic of it closed?

Here you are, what are you looking for?

Hey thanks, no the headlights are OEM and untouched, just wrapped in the Expel headlight clear protectant (thicker than the paint protection film).

Looks great so far. Keep it going.

This picture has solidified my decision on a White M3P when I return from my deployment. This is my final deployment before I retire from the service and this will be my present to myself for all the headaches over the years. Cant wait !!!!

Looks beautiful! I get my white/white M3P later this week. Definitely going to do the satin black chrome delete. Trying to figure out what the best tint % to get. The 30% you have here looks nice. Did you also tint the panoramic glass on the roof? If you put 30% on the roof, then I imagine it would look exceedingly dark given that it is already factory tinted at baseline at least half way down the back window. Also did you get ceramic tint?

 

[Pkmmte]

That looks gorgeous!

I also have a performance Model 3 with a white interior. Unfortunately, my exterior is black as I bought it used from my co-worker. Hopefully I can wrap it eventually so it can look as great as yours!

Yes it is 30% tint, all around except the roof which was done at 50%. They didn't recommend tinting over the front seats overhead area. Nothing is too dark on the job all around, especially with the white interior, I believe that gives the illusion of more light inside where as black would make the tint look darker. The tint they used is Pinnacle, I don't believe it is "ceramic". I like the tint as it keeps the heat out, this car has a lot of window so the tint helps and reduces glare too!

Do you mind sharing how much did chrome delete cost

Thank you !

Thank you !

Sure, I paid $700 but it was a higher end detail/tint/wrap shop. The work is immaculate and everything chrome is now satin black. I am really happy with the results and work done.

Sick looking 3

Thanks for the info! Super helpful. Probably will end up doing something similar. I think the Pinnacle is made by Llumar and is actually a ceramic tint. It's a fairly popular tint from what I've read. Glad it's worked out well for you!
