Man, this is awesome.

Just picked it up from OC Detailing in Fremont CA, they did a satin black 3M 1080 vinyl chrome delete and 3M Crystalline tint (50% fronts, 40% back).
Then after I get home, I get a notification that a software update is available for my car. Yay 5% more power, higher top speed, etc.
Oh, and I got the rear wing installed by Tesla last Friday. At home.

Again, this is awesome!

Next up is badges coming off, front half PPF, black wheels...
 
I got a black Tesla logo decal from Abstract Ocean: Model 3 Logo Decals (Front)
The back will be black Tesla lettering: "TESLA" Badging for Model 3

Your car looks great! So does the spoiler. On my white 3 after the full frontal PPF I showed up with a new T emblem for the hood. $35. He suggested I live without it for a while. Still sitting on the shelf 8 months later. Don’t think I’ll re-install it:

I'm curious what you think with the chrome edges.

I was thinking about Plasti dipping mine and the dual motor badge so that I don't have to remove anything.
I agree that plasti-dip might be a better fix for those that cannot un-see the edges of the badge. Maybe I just put the decal straight on the car (on top of the PPF). Or as @03DSG did, not put one on at all.

My dual-motor badging is staying in the bag.

Man, did we walk down the same thought path. Left is the Tesla OEM front emblem, right is Abstact Ocean’s T decal. Both to remain uninstalled:
