We recently had some work done on our new Tesla . Purple Flare Wraps in Las Vegas, NV (Purple Flare: Tints, PPF, Wraps, & More Done By Las Vegas Pros) tinted, wrapped, and did some after-market installations on our 2023 Model 3 Performance and we couldn't be happier with the process and the results both! I see a lot of posts here and on the various Tesla sub-reddits of people asking about wrap, lowering springs, and other aftermarket installs - I wanted to share my experience to help out new owners.

The wrap we chose was the Cheetah Wrap branded Satin Charcoal Metallic and Purple Flare was able to order and receive the less common brand quickly. The application seems to be flawless, they explained their process as we were inspecting the final product and one thing we really want to note is that they don't cut any corners; anything that can be removed and reset (such as the side view cameras) are removed for the process to keep as many sheets of wrap singular and unbroken, leaving minimal seams and less chance of peeling. The tint was done flawlessly and we're happy with the results.
While there are many plug-and-play options for Tesla wheels, we ended up going with after market 20 in. Asanti wheels from WheelsPro. I found wheels I liked with the proper load capacity, diameter, width, and bolt pattern pretty easily using CarID and WheelsPro. We didn't want to spend extra on new tires for the wheels so we made sure to order 20x9 wheels that would fit the existing tires. Purple Flare checked the wheels to insure we had gotten what we needed and were able to put the old tires on the new wheels no problem.

We knew we wanted a lower look and to remove some of the gap between the wheel and the wheel well. Originally we were going to use Eibach springs and Purple Flare was happy to install those for us, but after discussing the three options of springs, coil-overs, and air, we decided coil-overs were the best choice for us and we found the Mountain Pass performance website that sells comfort and sport coil-overs with various adjustability options. We opted for the Height Adjustable Comfort coil-overs and Purple Flare was able to install those with no issues.

We did a few aesthetic after market additions, our favorite of which is the adjustable screen mount. The adjustable mount enables our screen to tilt left or right to face either the driver, passenger or stay centered. Purple Flare installed it and insured that it was steady and wouldn't be jostled by the vibration of driving.

The communication process from start to finish was amazing. We ended up having this done over the span of a holiday and Purple Flare was quick, efficient and timely, keeping us updated on the progress and the timeline as we went. Between exceptional customer service, an excellent price, and an incredible final result, we would highly recommend Purple Flare to anyone looking to wrap, tint, or otherwise modify their car!
