Chrome Add Thread for 2021 M3

[derekmw]

I didn't want to be 'childish' and keep the chrome so I did chrome delete. lol. Everyone has different preferences.

What I really wish they would change is to have the roof liner made black. It bugs me to no end that it is light gray and should be black in my opinion. The model S had this option and I loved it.

The black trim is cheaper for Tesla to purchase than the chrome version.

 

[Dolemite]

We keep calling it chrome, but is it really? As far as I can tell, it's polished aluminum. But I'm not a pro.

This is for us, old people, that finds black trims and dark wheels just hideous & childish, and rather loves chromes.

First, it would be necessary to find the best way to have back the chrome delete on windows and cameras on the 2021 model, please submit your suggestions & wrap best options, hoping to have soon companies offering a chrome add precut kit.

Second, let's see not-photoshopped pics of the new aero 18" to understand if they are more silverish as it does appears from the configurator. For sure, they are easier to paint silver than the old ones.

Third, the chrome moulding on the trunk, a bit pricey on Evannex, it should be cheaper options, if you found any other please submit:

Fourth, the rear bumper accent:

It should be also a bar for the rear bumper that connect the reflectors but i can't find it now.

Any suggestion and links are appreciated.

Agree I have a blue Model 3 long range AWD and want to get the chrome back wherever it makes sense...

We ordered the black Orbital Wheel covers on Kickstarter & upgraded to silver on indigogo. Arriving very soon.

My Dad isn't that old but he went from

I still like the red with all the chrome accents but he prefers the black trim now, as do I.


Maybe will bring back the chrome in the future

I'd swap my chrome with someone in the Bay Area if this turns out to be feasible, but I'm guessing it's not worth the effort.

 

[run-the-joules]

Add me to the chrome fan club... Boring and cheap looking without it. I suspect that de-chroming is a fad that will die quickly...

I've been swapping chrome for black trim for almost 2 decades. Was a lot easier on other cars where the lower optioned cars were black trim and people wanted the ugly chrome nonsense to look like they spent more.

I’d love to add Chrome, it is a better browser than the Tesla one.

it looks like stainless steel to me. probably not, though.

Be tolerant of us, poor old guys with old taste, and go writing your stilished proposals in the multiple smart & modern chrome delete threads, thanks

I'm an old timer, I'm not fond of chrome but it's easier to accent or delete than add, so I'm chill with it as my daughter would say 15 years ago

 

[beachsideev]

I'm not old and I generally despise chrome, but to me, the chrome looks "correct" on the lighter colored m3s. I wouldn't want the black on my white m3. but on a black m3, the murdered out look looks better.

 

[MODEL+]

Very interesting why Tesla don't make this an option when buying the car vs "refreshed" vs "non-refreshed" model like it is today.
But I guess their #1 worry right now is to pump out cars fast enough so people can enjoy them.

You old timers should add a rag top too. It looks classy and mature

I actually have a ragtop...

And me driving my ragtop, for you Big Daddy Roth folks:

And if you really want a rag top:
This company will turn your Tesla Model 3 into a convertible for $29,500 — here's how it's done

You're thinking of a landau top.

Are they ready then? That thing of two crowdfunding in 2 different sites makes me unconfortable. I think i'll wait for a selling site.

I've sprayed silver the aero with a spray wrap but i'm afraid is really too delicate....

 

[EV Promoter]

why people that likes black stuff is posting here?
The title is not about if you prefer black or chrome or to offend people that likes chrome, it's about to find chrome add solutions. Good god, from this forum moderation disappeared completly.

Old guy here (58). Embrace the chrome… except the frunk emblem – cleaner without IMO. I like the black trim too though it looks better on certain colors that others, but am happy with with the classic blue + silver combo. Not sure I'd add more chrome embellishments, fine as is.

Wheels are TSW Nurburgring Mirror Cut/Gunmetal, 18x8, +35mm, 19 lbs per corner (Aeros for winter). Would love to have spacers for the rear and perhaps a slight drop one day.
