New Rear Emblem.... love it!

[Mr X]

Looks great man, congrats! May I ask where you got your black license plate frame? I've been looking for a nice, minimal, black frame like yours.

Made this custom SpaceX frame. The perfect touch for any Tesla. SpaceX text in any color you want.

I find this thread humorous because back in the day on the Lotus forum everyone (myself included) rushed to replaced the "LOTUS" letters with the small emblem badge: L O T U S or round emblem? - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

Car guys just can't leave well enough alone

Thanks for the info guys. Here’s mine...

How come it seems low. Like not centered vertically.


I wish California had electrical vehicle plates so then they will know and we don’t have to have stupid stickers On our bumper

It’s personal preference. You can put it as high or low as you’d like, but most of us are going for the look that Franz had on his car. Also easier to align the lettering with the lower edge of the trunk lid.

Looks great! Love how you can see your hair dryer in the reflection, like mine!

Love the look, really clean!

Here’s a cleaner look without the hair dryer in the reflection

I’m interested in installing this on my silver metallic model 3. But would the matte black emblem look better or the chrome? I’m not too sure

@hotony13, Chrome with silver looks asume.

I bought this emblem/decal from Abstract Ocean and I couldn't be more happy, it looks incredible!

Love it but I wouldn’t trust myself to put it on without screwing it up.

You made me look!

For those that have installed this, what does the appliqué film look like afterward? Can you see the outline of where the lettering is?

I'm looking for a template for this, to use for cutting vinyl to lay under a wrap to put this is positive relief.

Negative relief would probably look even better but that'd involve a lot more material, you'd need to wrap the whole trunk twice, and be trickier to place correctly.

Sorry, must have missed this. Wish I could tell you, but I threw it away right after installation. If I recall, though, there may have been some glue residue that might have outlined where the lettering had been. But I can’t be sure at this point. Did you ever attempt the vinyl?

Not yet. Didn't take delivery until 2 weeks ago and haven't booked the wrap appointment yet. Mostly I'm waiting on my TERP rebate cheque for my Bolt from TX government ($2500), had earmarked that for the wrap. I filed that a good time back, but of course those wheels turn even slower than Tesla's delivery logistics.

Something still messed up with the forum image storage. When I click on your "9T" Oregon plate thumbnail, I see a large pic of a Hawaii plate...

I am using Chrome!

When I click on an image in a thread, it will open that image, but it will show me little thumbnails of all of the other pics in the thread!

Finally pulled the trigger to replace the Tesla "T" with the Tesla Performance Emblem from Abstract Ocean.

Wanted to stand out from the crowd now that there are many more Model 3s in Socal.

Original Tesla "T" with red vinyl overlay

Matte Black TESLA Emblem


Pretty easy install and took about 15-20 minutes.

I love the look of the new emblem. I feel that the default makes the rear look too tall and narrow. The car looks like it has a more aggressive stance from the back simply with a logo change.

Here is mine with it.

 

[zemaker]

How easy is it to remove the "T" logo that comes w/ the car?

All the badging on cars is just glued on. You have to be careful not to damage the paint with any pry tools you might use, but once you get a corner up the rest should come off fairly easily.
