Vendor DIY Model X Chrome Delete Kit - Nikola Pro
- Thread starter Nikola Pro
- Start date
Can you share some pics? I just purchased a used X that is midnight silver metallic and debating if i should chrome delete and black out my 20" rims. For some reason, i kinda like the chrome and the stock silver rims thats came with my car, but part of me feels like adding these customizations would make the car more appealing.

We currently don't have pictures of all three colors installed right now, but once more owner images trickle in we will create a gallery like our Model 3 kit.
We can make the kit in satin dark gray. Put that request in the order notes on checkout and we will take care of it. Note that custom orders take anywhere from 2-4 weeks due to demand for our stock color options.

Hi.
I’m Ben.
I received my order today.
It came well packaged and very fast.
At this point I recommend the vendor!!
Going to attempt install next few days. If I have issues will be speaking with Nikola Pro before raging out here or whatever.
I’m looking forward to trying the install.
Purchased X full package with heat gun.
This is my first try at this and I anticipate a challenge.
Before and after pictures will be provided.
I’m an engineer and my wife works with vinyl (not cars), so we’re fairly confident the 2x piece shipment will eventually result in 1 sexy car.

Just purchased a set. Anyone in Orange Country want to do the install together? Way better than paying another Company 700 to do it for me
Hi!
Due to a personal medical issue, the coronavirus, and a string of rainy days, we’ve had the kiddos home full time and haven’t had the time to begin!
Cannot wait though - hopefully during this quarantine we can sneak in the install, but it’s difficult to get the hours to do so with an 8 and 4 year old losing their minds lol.
I apologize for any delay in getting back to forum replies/messages. We are currently experiencing higher than normal order volume. I will make sure we get back to everyone as soon as possible!

Spent a few hours washing and an hour on the install last night!
Finish tomorrow.
Thoughts:
After cleaning full car exterior I used a tiny dab of denatured alcohol to give the chrome one last cleaning. I could be wrong about using denatured alcohol, so research that at your own risk. That being said I see no ill effects.
This is super easy. The vendor has a product designed to be easy and the X makes the install easy. If you watch the videos from the vendor and take your time the results are amazing.
The trunk wrap covering the embossed Tesla letters is the hardest piece to install (IMO) and I needed the backup piece due to jacking up the first one. I’d recommend doing it last if this is your first time doing this.
Lastly, got really good results from chemical guy’s jet seal. I use their soap because it smells good, so figured I’d try this. X is super shiny now.
The only imperfection I see in the product after sizing up every piece is that the “T” pieces are a tiny bit short to not cover the raised emboss section of the logo. But the face of the logo is fully covered and this isn’t a deal breaker by any means, a tiny imperfection.
10/10 would recommend.
One other tip: if you just washed your car and some ninja water is trapped in a crevice where you’re applying a wrap, it will ruin your good time. Gotta get rid of that water.
