I am not sure how much TM folks are modding their cars but coming from a M3 and previously the JDM scene, its hard to get that modding bug out of me. Granted, I purposely chose the Tesla so I don't have to spend so much on silly stuff like exhausts or engine mods (THANK GOD). I think the 85kwh is more than enough for me. So I'm left with the external mods for aesthetics. I currently have a Grey Model S.
I know a few people are either changing their rims or powdercoat/painting their 21 or 19" rims. For an LA driver, I chose to stick with the 19" rims and powdercoat them (this upcoming weekend). So my mods will be:
1) Going to powdercoat them 19" rims Satin Black and black out the caps but make the cap Tesla logo red.
2) I plan to powdercoat the calipers and make them red but still leave the Tesla letting on so hopefully it will look stock.
3) I'm painting the chrome piece around my windows gloss black so match the side pillars.
I need the forum members opinion on changing the door handle color? Would you leave them chrome, change them black, or something else? What about the chrome side marker piece on the fender?
Can you tell that I'm not a fan of chrome? =) What other ideas have other people tried that they want to share? I'm curious how creative and tasteful our Tesla Community is.
