Vendor Calipers vinyl wrap for Model 3

[Red Ryder 3]

Question: How, on earth, does one get the existing caliper covers clean enough for these to adhere properly?
Pulling the rear wheels would be a deal-breaker for me, but I could definitely handle a heat gun.

Just pressure wash and if there is any debris stuck, wipe it off...that does it every time for me /I've installed this more than 50 times at this point/

They still look good.

Thanks for the prompt response.
Let me know when available for the 2022 MYLR.

Will try to finish it this coming week, although at this point I realize I sound like Elon... "2 weeks" for the past 2 months

These look nice. When will they be available?

For model 3 and Y - hopefully next week, I am practically done but haven’t had time to shoot the install videos, make photos etc.

Awesome. Can’t wait to see the final product. Do you ship to canada?

I do, but just FYI shipping costs are about $20 from California to Canada :/

Oh really? Based on your model s pricing for them, that’s a 50% shipping cost. Isn’t it just vinyl sheets? You can’t just stick them in a flat envelope and mail via USPS? Just thought I’d ask.

Correct, and this is exactly what I do, and yet again this is the price I usually see with USPS...UPS is even more expensive. It of course depends on the location in Canada, so once I release them you can check on my Shopify store, as it will auto-calculate the exact price. Hopefully it will be lower.
I also plan to send my most popular items to Prime in Canada (and then in Europe too), but that will come in a few months at least.

I have a 2022 M3LR. Let me know when ready and I can give an honest review and feedback. I am against the grain here as I won't care if I have to remove wheels for this, it would probably be easier in the long run anyway.

I was just looking into these today (that is what led me to the forum), as I would love to add some color to my calipers without taking off the wheels. I don't want to put cover on because most of them look tacky to me, and for paint, I read somewhere that it decreases the trade-in value (does anyone know if that is true?) I would consider vinyl wrapping the entire thing but if there is an easier way to add a splash of color without too much effort, I am definitely interested. Also, to answer one of your questions above, for me it is all or nothing (seems odd to just do the front). Finally, there is one other place that I found that already has this product. I won't post it here out of respect for you, but it does appear for the rear calipers they recommend removing the wheels to properly apply.

I was thinking when they are available for the M3LR, I would get them and put them on during my next tire rotation. After all, the tires have to come off anyway. Lol

 

[iyordanov]

Sorry for the constant delays... I was moving to an office which took a couple of weeks off my productive time, then waiter for a new plotter cutter to arrive so I can continue doing new products from home as it's more convenient to work in the garage. Now I am all set up and hope to finally start rolling new products quickly and calipers for M3 are top priority.

What can one order caliper wrap?

 

[yvr_bbq]

Btw, wanted to add in as well to another person’s suggestion to have both as an option, wheel on or wheel off. I change my own tires, so would prefer the more coverage option.

 

[canasion35]

+ for more coverage option!

 

[iyordanov]

So looking at the cut model I think I am more likely to just provide both for everyone (have to verify one more thing before I am certain) and then make it clear in the installation video that you can install as much or as little as you want

2022 M3 LR - I’m about to paint mine, orange. I cannot understand how someone would think that they don’t have the tools or skills to remove a tire. Good lord, how would one replace a flat tire or rotate them??? I’m amazed that one would think it is easier to clean the calipers and apply the vinyl through the wheel spokes than to just jack up the car and pull a tire.

The only reason I haven’t painted mine yet is because I want all 4 corners up and paint them at the same time. At least your vinyl makes it easy to do this one at a time. Seems like you have a great idea.
