Anywhere to get a proper black Tesla emblems?

[ChargedSociety]

I want black (or carbon fiber) Tesla emblems for my 3, I don't want a sticker, I don't want to plastidip or paint them, I want something permanent that is actually black. So far I have found two options. Unplugged performance sells carbon fiber ones which are awesome, but I'm sorry to say there is no way in heck, I'd pay $450 usd ($600 Canadian) for two emblems, it's just not happening. Ebay and Amazon have some but I'm skeptical of the quality and sizing. If I want to spell out "T E S L A" on my trunk I can get the rear in black from abstract ocean but I'm leaning towards the T only. Even if I spell out TESLA, I still don't have a black one for the front.

Any ideas where to get such a thing?

Cheers!

I have the Abstract Ocean Gen 2 Rear Emblem and I like it.

Aren’t you a feisty one?

I purchased some black chrome emblems from this site for $40 T Badge Model 3 REAR (Custom Colors)

They have a matte black color. The emblems are thicker than the OEM emblems. They are similar thickness to the Model S emblems. I wouldn’t get this for the front though. It’s too thick and doesn’t look right.

I'm glad you think so! Thanks for the link, I'll check them out, OEM thickness would be nice but if I can't come up with some then those may have to be the winner!

You could also get the OEM emblems powdercoated.

You should give plastidip a chance if done properly it can give you the look you’re after!

Ive done it in the past, and might even do it on my window trim but I just think the front emblem is going to have a rough go and start peeling in no time.

Yeah its definitely not a permanent solution like you're looking for. Good thing it's so cheap to do! I actually wrapped the front emblem and plastidipped the rear to compare. So far both are holding up (2 months later). I prefer the wrap because it is a lot smoother but it took me an hour just to wrap it nicely..

I ordered the matte black front and rear emblems from Abstract Ocean. I should have them by Saturday.

my back emblems are plastidipped (since march) and still looking good, no peeling yet. but my frunk emblem and trim are lifting. i didn't really clean it before. it's all in the prep.

the logo decals? I don't see a Matte black emblem on their website?

I dunno, I think that front one is going to take the brunt of the abuse where the back will be pretty protected. Even if it's done perfectly, I don't think it will ever hold up as long as the rear.

I think anything you buy will be painted black as well. The emblems are $30 each from service center. Paint and clear coat them yourself.

Leave it chrome. It’s iconic.

Take them off completely!

Try krylon enamel. I’m sure several won’t believe me, but I used red krylon on the tips of my experimental airplane’s propeller and it was amazingly durable. I flew on instruments in all kinds of weather...very tough on the propeller’s leading edge. Applied correctly, Krylon enamel can give a very good and durable finish. This was on a 350 hp engine with three blade prop.... not a lightweight

small investment to try

Paint struggles to stick to chrome. Suggest vinyl wrap.

I would love to buy proper black ones, too, even carbon fiber ones. But not for $450

I'm leaning this way right now, think I'll just cave and buy the AO "TESLA" in black for the back and remove the front one.

Tesla Coloured T Logo Badges — EV Accessories Ltd.

This costs ~$20 shipped. I haven't received mine so don't know the quality.

So are all the logos and the dual motor on the back just stickers and how tough to remove? We live in the CO mountains and all chrome gets abused by the mag chloride no matter how much we wash the cars. Just ordered a M3 Performance last week
