Vendor Artisan Spirits Aero Kit for Tesla Model 3

[Garlan Garner]

@EVStuning I was reading on another vendor's site that sells the kit and it says that the carbon fiber pieces don't come finished with a clear coat and that it would have to be clear coated after fitting it. Is this true?

I'm hoping this isn't true and that the cf pieces come finished and ready to bolt on instead of having to take to a paint shop.

This is their kit. It looks like its clear coated. Comes with additional pieces for the front.

I wish I could see a pic of the side skirts from the under side of the car. I wonder what the holes that need to be drilled look like.

I hope this kit does not cover up the holes Tesla provided for jacking up the car. or the rocker panel bolt holes. I just might bet longer bolts that are used for the rocker panels.

Carbon parts are rarely ever clear coated from any manufacturer. We also state the same on our website for these products. We sell many different brands of carbon products and we always advise customer to clear coat the items before installing. They all have a gelcoat which does not give you any UV protection as a clear coat would.

I wonder why is their's so much cheaper?

What is going on?

EURO to USD is not the same. Currently 3360Euro will come out to $3640 USD then you need to add the customs duty and import fees which include entry fee, bond, abi, registration etc you'll be tacked on an additional $511.23. That's not including the freight cost from Japan or Europe to the States.

also just confirmed with Artisan Spirits Japan, they have no business with "Hyenna EU". They've never sold any kits to this business and do not plan too. Looking at their website it looks like they don't even have a actual business location listed so they might just take your money and laugh like a Hyenna would.

Thanks for clearing all of this up.

Due to the current environment with Corona, is ETA still May?

I've seen some delays at the port but nothing major. worst case was about a 3 week delay but that was early on with the pandemic. right now everything seems to be closer to original ETA's. Down side is because of the slowdown of business, it's taking longer to fill the containers in Japan. so it might take longer for them to fill up the container before it leaves the port. Model 3 kits are at the port in Japan currently. not sure when it will leave but i'll get a notice once it arrives here at our ports. Will keep you posted.

I agree, however the kit listed here is about $1k more than the kit in the link you provided.

That's a lot.

Did you pay shipping on top of the quoted price?

Did you pay shipping on top of the quoted price?

I've only left a deposit so far.

 

[Garlan Garner]

In times like these....where tons of people have lost their jobs....I wonder if this vendor is going to hold folks accountable to their final payment....or are they going to refund the deposit.

I lost one of my jobs. hmmmm. Lets see what happens.

Sorry to hear that. Did your kit get shipped yet?

I don't think so. I haven't heard yet.

Hello EVStuning,

I'm just inquiring. I know that shipping must be a nightmare right now with everything that is going on.

Just wondering where everything is.....

I'm not trying to rush shipping or anything. Especially since I have lost my job during this pandemic. I'm still willing to pay for my order so that I won't lose my deposit.

Just wondering.

shipment is docking at the port tomorrow. once it clears customs, it'll get loaded onto a freight truck and will be arranged to deliver to us. usually about a week after the docking date. i also emailed you this information on 4/7 when i was notified a long with all the others who ordered.

First photos looked great, but seeing it on the car, seriously guys??? The front lip lines don't even make sense. On 90s Japanese supercars yes, on this not do much.

This makes sense to my eyes.

 

[T3SLAROD]

@EVStuning are there any kits/individual pieces available or are they all spoken for?

 

[Firehuntah]

@Garlan Garner Any news on your kit? Really want to see what it looks like, off the car and on the car of course. We've only see pictures of the show car so far. Haven't seen any other Tesla Model 3 with this body kit yet.

 

[i.am.aj]

I was told my kit was packed and ready to be picked up by the freight company. =)

I shoould be receiving it in the next 5-7 business days....then off for some ppf.
