Maxton Design Canada (now also US)

[Perscitus]

I see a few mentions of this company, its regional subsids plus Tesla specific products on here (Model S subforum, etc) and on the other Model 3 fora... but given they just recently established US operations (and offer free shipping!), figured it was worth while reminding fellow Model 3 owners of their existance.

No affiliation but seems like an interesting option for those looking for what they offer.

See here:
Tesla
(plenty of Model S, X, 3 products but shipping costs to US ~50% parts cost, border stall possible, good for our Canadian members though)

And here:
MAXTON DESIGN USA: Online Store for visual tuning auto body parts
(free shippijg but no Tesla products offered yet)

I already pinged them re Tesla product offering in the US. Waiting to hear back.

I was looking at their rear valance but I don't want anything with a horizontal wing. In the photos on their site of the valance on the car, it has rear side splitters as well which stick out horizontally - this is what I don't want. They do not have any pictures of the valance mounted without the splitters. Looking at the picture of the valance by itself, there is a small horizontal piece and I can't tell if this horizontal piece sticks out or not. I have asked the vendor this question but they don't seem to know so not sure if that is a sign of the service to be expected. Prices are reasonable though.

Someone else on here bought the rear diffuser (without the side splitters) and felt it looked better to trim off the last ridges on the main diffuser. I'm assuming it is very easy to cut but once you do it, no going back!

Would love to see a picture of that. As it stands, it's a bit busy for me.

I bought from Maxton Canada the Tesla Model 3 v1 front lip, it should arrive this week

Everything looking good and they ship the parts really quick

That would be me.

Cut off the two end fins and didn't buy the stupid side splitters.

I've seen their products before. Doesn't look bad but I wonder about the build quality...

I can attest to them fitting like *sugar*. Needs some modifying.

kpeng, looks great with the ends trimmed off. Appreciate you posting the pic. I really don't like those side splitters as well.

How does the panel attach? adhesive tape, plastic push-pins,...?

I like the diffuser but am wondering if you can really even see it on a lowered 3 (unless you are behind and low relative to the bumper). It is fairly priced for sure...but shipping is kinda $ from Canada. A US distributor is a great thing. Other thing, it appears like stock on these is touch and go....the Canadian folks only have gloss in stock with several months wait to get matte (or fake CF) finish. I think I would get matte if I got this.

Yes, you can see it.

Adhesive tape and about 6 self-tapping screws

Just ordered the front, sides and rear with diffuser. $820 total. Should be here around July/August.

I talk a lot of crap, but I know what I'm about.

The parts take a long time to drop ship by ship from the factory and HQ in Poland.
Hence anything not listed or currently already in stock at the Canada or US independently owned distributors must be a. ordered as part of a bigger bulk order b. manufactured c. shipped from Eastern Europe to North America (COVID delays and customs restrictions galore). d. make it to local distributor, e. be marked up for profit and then f. sold and shipped locally to wherever.

Just to give you a sense - the diffuser retails for $128 in its native market and costs about a quarter of that to manufacture (once all the R&D, tooling etc is done). However shipping alone (even in bulk and at commercial rates) can easily double the retail price needed to turn a small profit by the time it hits US shores.

The US distributor is new and doesnt really sell their Tesla 3/Y/X/S offerings yet. Only the Canadian one offers some limited pickings as others wrote above.

Maxton USA - new shipment of various Tesla parts (including Model 3 items ordered in Feb) arrived at port on May 26th and distributor bound Jun 2nd.
