    I rarely post here but, here I am and not sure where to put this thread. If not here, fire suit is on and ready, fire at will.


    For the past few years I have been making the panels for roadsters one at a time. Its too much to do in my little space, so I commissioned moulds and parts for the parts listed below. Their work is impecable. I am offering a $50.00 discount if you buy something and write a review here or on the FB roadster page. Asking for no favors, a real honest review of fit finish and quality. It’s more important to me to keep your business than it is to get your business. I need my parts to speak for themselves. I can tell you from my years of experience, Tesla used a low cost clear that goes flat, or yellows; they also made some of the parts out of carbon and gel coat. We are not doing any of this. We are using the highest quality clears, resins and fabrics that are available. The door sills will start production next week. I have attached a few photos from our first pulls.

    If you are interested in the parts, copy and paste the list below into an email and send it with the quantity of each item that you would like to: [email protected] Please include your name address and phone number. I will create an invoice in QuickBooks and you can pay by CC thru QB.
    1. 1.5-2.0-2.5 Door sills $1000 a pair $1200 with clear bra on top to protect them. Ships to you 2-15- 2020
    2. 1.5-2.0-2.5 Vents behind the door Ships mid march.
    3. 1.5 chin spoiler with lights wiring harness and instructions $2250 (pre order only)
    4. 1.5/2.0/2.5 Rear center spoiler on trunk $1300 Ships to you. 2-25-2020
    5. 1.5 Rear diffuser $1350 ships to you 2-25-2020
    6. 1.5 Front lip $1500 ships 2-15-2020
    7. 2.5 rear vented rear diffuser $2500
    8. 2.5 front lip tentative price will be $2200

    If you would like these parts clear wrapped in satin or gloss xpel. Please indicate this in your email. My actual cost to have these wrapped, is $200 per part. See above for sills. You will pay the same as I do.

    The 1.5 parts should also be for 2.0?
    - Chin, Rear Diffuser, Front Splitter / Lip

    Aside from the license plate area, aren't the rear bumpers the same shapea for the different models? So the 2.5 vented diffuser should fit 1.5 / 2.0?

    Carl installed these door sills for me. Here's a link to my description: Double-DIN Dash Replacement by Carl Medlock

    Pleased with how they look. Asked Carl if he could do a matte wrap instead of gloss as an option. I think he thinks he can do both, but you might want to check with him if gloss is not your thing.

    Carl,

    I have a pair of the CF sills that came with my Roadster.

    The clear coat is cracking, and I was wondering if you (or your vendor) believes it would be possible to sand it down and reapply or if they are junk?

    Thanks.

    Thank you all for the interest. I will have the first pull of the 2.5 rear diffuser this coming week. My website is functional to take orders now. Most CCCF Products will be ready to ship this month

    Thanks to Erik Robertson
    The www.medlockandsons.com website is coming to life, and you can start to order your carbon fiber parts today.
    Prices are on the site. The carbon shop is working 7 days a week to fill these orders, and I will post the photos as the parts come in. I should have the 2.5 rear diffuser first pull in my hands this week. I slowed down the process a week or so to get a CNC jig made, which will make these parts all the same and perfect.
    Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your interest and your business. We are in this together and without you there is no us, so thank you.

    Are these units coded with ultraviolet light protection?

    Wow. Carbon fiber parts are prone to oxidation and it is industry standard to place these agents without paying extra. The roll bar on our vehicles is protected with ultraviolet resistant chemicals. All of the Tesla manufactured parts in the past were manufactured with ultraviolet resistance. I don't think it is fair to pay extra.

    UV protection is provided by 2K clear coat sprayed on the parts after they're cured.

    Xpel is an add-on for extra protection from physical contact. Unlike painted body panels, you can't fill a deep scratch in carbon fiber and have it look the same as before. Good insurance to have if your door sills regularly take a beating.

    This 2K Carbo Clear is applied to the parts as a last step for UV protection. As stated bt Tex EV We also offer Xpel to keep the parts from being scratched. Here is the data on the clear. I hope this clears up the confusion.

    "2K Carbo Clear Plus 2K clear coat V02 02/2018 :
    CHARACTERISTIC This VOC-conform clear coat is a special clear coat for Carbon parts. It is characterized by a rapid and very good hardness. The well-balanced pot life enables a safe application. The 2K Carbo Clear Plus has a brilliant gloss and flow. It can be polished easily, has excellent scratch resistance and outstanding durability due to the very high UV-Protection, chemical- and weather resistance.
