Quick reviews on some of the aftermarket products I purchased.
I have already posted about the center console wrap and the rims, so I will not re-hash those. I would only suggest that you do protect your center console with either a Vinyl wrap or a clear bra of some kind as it will easily scratch.
I purchased the "Cup Holder Hero" cup holder and cubby liners off of amazon in black and red. There isn't much to say about the product except that it fits perfectly, it looks good, and things really seems to hug well to it. I wish it would cost about $15 instead of $25, but I'm all for products that can make keeping my car clean easier, while adding a little bit of color at the same time.

Abstract Ocean Tempered Glass (9H) Screen Protector - Matte
I was really against this one for a lot of reasons. For one, I didn't see much of a point to a screen protector. At least, not in the conventional sense. No normal person should scratch the screen in a Model 3. It just doesn't get put in a situation where you would. Tesla even gives you a flimsy one too, which isn't half bad. Where you can get into trouble really is if you take off the one Tesla gives you, and then clean your screen. Then, there is a small change you might wipe some dirt and damage it. So what are the real issues. Fingerprints and some reflections. I purchased this along with some LED lights (I'll get to those in a minute) before my car was delivered, even though I posted that I didn't think it was necessary. I just gave in. I spent forever trying to keep dust off the screen before putting it on but it kept showing up. Finally I was able to put it on without any dust and the install itself (minus the cleaning) was simple. The protector is pretty thick. It definitely reduces reflections and lowers fingerprint visibility, but it also dulls the crispness of the screen. I will continue to drive with it for a while and see how I like the trade-off. You give a little to get a little.
Tempered Glass (9H) Screen Protector for the Tesla Model 3
Upgraded LED lights (Various Brands) I put some Red LEDs in my footwells, upgraded my door puddle lights, and my trunk lights. This one is a no brainer. It is an easy installation, and the difference is obvious. I think everyone should upgrade their footwell and trunk lights. The puddle lights aren't that big of a deal TBH, and the custom ones are to your own personal taste. I got mine from RPM tesla. Be careful when doing the trunk lights as the snap in bracket is just a thin loose piece of rectangular plastic. You can feel it through the perforated trunk liner with your fingers and need to snap it on the light on both ends when you replace it. This is the one upgrade I would recommend to every person, seconded only with a console wrap.
Aluminum Pedals
The listing may not say "Model 3" but these will fit a model 3. Install is simple and they are cheap. Really, it is so inexpensive and they look so much better than the OEM ones, why wouldn't you do this for $18?
2pcs Aluminum Non-Slip Performance Foot Pedal Pads for Tesla Model S and Model X | eBay
I'm now looking into some 12V cigarette lighter splitters that will fit with the tray, and allow me to both power a power magic battery for a blackvue install and get a higher amp charging option for my phone.
I will be testing to see if this one will fit:

I plan on using this video as a guide to sending power from the cigarette lighter to the phone bay in the front console so that the phone will charge at a high rate vs the 1Amp the front USB ports provide.
It will also free up a front USB port that way too. It will also future proof for an upgrade to a nomad pad as well.
