hello folks. As many of you locals already know, we are Tesla/Porsche/Ferrari specialists, and have been working on Teslas since the early days of the Roadster. Here's a journey of the first Model 3 we had the pleasure of working on here at the asylum. We lovingly call our shop the asylum because of the insane level of attention-to-detail we are known for, and the insane clients we have that want this level of work performed. We love to focus on client experience and focus on the craft and art of automotive enhancement and protection. Please feel free to comment and ask questions...we love educating consumers so they understand VALUE behind quality work.
She arrived late during a rainy and cold SoCal evening and was greeted by several German patients at the asylum
Following day, after a proper bath, we began tinting the windows using Huper Optik Ceramic 40 all around and Ceramic 60 on windhsield
Once tint is complete, another bath to make sure paint is clean. We then clay and hand polish any area where clear bra will be applied:
Lots and Lots of extended edges...to give you an idea, we use XPEL DAP as our pattern software. It's very costly, but the quality and precision of patterns is second-to-none. However, they patterns are merely a starting point for us. We spend hours customizing and fine-tuning the "default" pattern to make it into a "semi-custom' pattern worthy of our name.
Here's a behind-the-scene look, we seldom show anyone these photos, of our pattern.
Default Pattern on left and GP Pattern on right - wherever the yellow lines are, that will be extended...so, almost the ENTIRE pattern is extended...near custom level of installation, without the "custom" effort...this is tremendous VALUE for the owner
Clarity of the film...hood has film and fender does not
Fenders
Small details
Maximum extension for protection, durability, and aesthetics
Seamless installation with all edges wrapped and we encourage clients to look from 1" away, not a few feet away. This level of installation takes 2X the amount of "average' install, but well-worth the effort and VALUE
Client requested a solution to keep center piano black trim from getting scratched and chipped
Paint polished to better-than-new level of reflection and clarity
We noticed on several areas, the gaps weren't quite flush, so we simply fixed them. After working on hundreds of Teslas and also consulting for Tesla over the years, we know these cars pretty well. This small detail saved a trip to service center for the client
Here she is enhanced and protected...GP-Style
