$77?!? wowza.... why did you need another set? Why not just dip over your existing badges?

I'm spraying and clear coating them. I also find that emblems are rarely the same once they've already been removed. The path of least resistance for me was to just get a fresh set.

Hi silly question, but the black emblems from that Etsy shop, do these stick/friction fit over the top of the stock Tesla emblems do you have to first remove the stock ones and then affix these black ones in their place? Just making sure my brain farting is understanding the "stick on cap" part LOL.

I'm doing ppf/ceramic coat on the whole car, they are coming off anyway.
Just got these in yesterday, they are caps that go over the existing emblems and have a super thin 3m tape that secures them. Now I just need the car to be delivered today

What's interesting is that
the S had a lot of chrome
the X had at a little less chrome
the 3 had hardly any chrome and
the Y has no chrome . . .
. . . except the badges

Thank you for verifying! I placed an order for a set.

I waited for my CA legacy plates to arrive before putting the Etsy emblem covers on and plasti-dipping the DUAL MOTOR badge (I was going to remove the DM altogether but wanted to see how plasti looked first). Why didn't I just plasti-dip the emblems too? Eh, it's a long boring story.
I...actually don't like it as much as I thought I would. The shade of both the emblem covers and plasti-dip doesn't contrast enough with MSM. I wish they were a dark gloss black like my plates. They look great on other car colors though, probably even black.

For that DIY'er in most of us, you can reuse the factory Model Y license plate frame that comes on your car. I like the look of it, and I haven't found an aftermarket one in black that is designed the same way. The one pictured below is from my Model 3, and the paint is well over a year old and has been through rain, sun, and lots of car washes, and it still looks exactly the same.
Just sand the frame to scuff it up with some 400 grit sand paper, and then go over it with some 800 grit to smooth it out, and apply some light coats of satin black paint. Not too bad for about 20 min worth of work and a can of paint (you don't need high temp engine paint, but that's all I had laying around in satin black).
