Matte Black Performance/Dual Motor Badges

[DB-Cooper]

How has that badge held? Im looking to get one

Perfect. I believe they order OEM ones and paint them. The backing and packaging was from Mercedes Benz, and I know Tesla uses Benz for some trivial accessories and parts.

I purchased as set from a forums member and it is excellent quality. He uses Tesla OEM badges and can paint it anyway you like. I opt for the Dual Motor Matt Black w/ Red line. His name is Richard Conner.

Were you able to get the excess plastidip from the R and A letters?

I used tooth pick to remove the excess from D and O, did not bother to remove from R and A. I guess you can use some fine pointed tool to remove them.

Anyone know a source for matte black (satin) decals/badges? I've decided to go with AO's matte black gen 2 Tesla emblem to complete the Franz look. The Dual Motor badge in chrome isn't working for me and it's too hard to adapt to black. I'm going to outright remove it, but wondering if anyone has done anything subtle for their Performance model that goes well with the chrome-delete look?

I've been seeing this whenever I search for matte black decals and badges, but I can't find an explanation for it: What is "Franz style" or "Franz look"??? Who is Franz????
