Just a few things I got from RPM Tesla

Upgraded lighting kit - easy swap for lights in trunk and frunk, under doors, glovebox
install difficulty - 2/5 you'll need a flathead
must have - 3/5 improved lighting? who doesn't need it?
price - $44 for 5, extra for $11 each
no pics. just think 5x brighter than stock

Carbon Fiber Spoiler (Matte) - stock look, makes car stand out as it's unique and rare (for now)
install difficulty - 4/5 you pretty much want to get it perfect in one shot
must have - 1/5 it's nice but definitely not needed, for appearances only
price - $229



License plate frame "Tailgate Closing" handle - makes closing of trunk easier than reaching for top of trunk, no hand/fingerprints on trunk. A MUST if you have a spoiler to reduce damage to it.
install difficulty - 2/5 remove license plate frame assembly, put behind, then put back frame
must have - 1/5 if no spoiler, 5/5 if you have a spoiler
price - $28



"Model 3" badging in satin black - completes the look with stock badging, just in case someone is from another planet and doesn't know what car this is
install difficulty - 2/5 make sure it's level and slap it on
must have - 1/5 for appearances only
price - $29

see above pics

T logo puddle lights - nice little upgrade to make front door lights brighter and with a logo

performance pedals - for those that are looking to improve things "down there", lol

I'm interested in the fit and finish of the RPM spoiler - is it lifting a little at the edges in those pictures?

How hard is it to get right? I'm pretty handy.

fit is tight. you really have to take the time to line it up perfectly but if you are handy, it should be no problem

funny you should mention it lifting. so i prematurely took off the duct tape that you're supposed to keep on for 3 days (i couldn't wait, just had to see what it looks like) and saw that the left side lifted up ever so slightly. im going to put some double sided foam tape in between and retaping it for a few more days to see if that helps

Thanks for all the ideas!

Full Screen Protector - just like for your phone! i like it

Any issues with making the screen harder to read, especially at night? How does it do with fingerprints? Any reduction in touch sensitivity? Is it more matte or glossy?

nope! screen shines right through, despite it being glossy, it's easy to read the screen. it's hard to put a fingerprint on there unless your fingers are dirty

no difference in touch sensitivity except for the first couple of hours after applying. since it is a wet application, the screen (at least in my case) was registering multiple touch points and made it hard but not impossible to navigate through. i would definitely not want to drive after just putting it on, in case it starts tapping on things it's not supposed to while on the road.

forkee: car came out beautiful that blue looks so amazing congrats. Job well done!

Where did you get your black license plate? I wanted to get a pair and maybe even the lift gate since I got the spoiler from RPM as well. Mark is so nice and what a great guy could have agreed with you on your review. If you can send me the link would be great for the plate.
