Just some pics of my front spoiler before and after installation.

Let us know if theres an efficiency hit, looks great! thanks

looks really nice - like Fred mentioned, i wonder if the lip causes a dip in range. I assume so since it provides downforce, thus additional drag..

Also check this video, these are tabs you can add to the bottom to protect it from scrapes

It’s hard to tell because winter is coming in WA. I cannot differenciate wh/mi increase caused by low temperature vs more drag.

However according to UnpluggedPerformance’s simulation, a correctly designed front lip should be able to increase downforce while REDUCING drag. I think it is because the effective length of the body is increased, so that air take less divert to go around the body. Not sure how my lip is designed compared to UP’s, but the overall rule should be similar.

I don’t think Model 3 need those lip protectors. The distance from front lip to front axle is much shorter compared to wheel base. Which means any angle that won’t scrap the bottom should never scrap the front lip.

How did you install and notice any efficiency difference now?

I have it installed the second month buying the M3P. The efficiency is as good as SR+ on the hwy.

I don't believe there is a good way to protect the lip, with lowered suspension, you can't really enter any underground parking lot.

How did you install? Screw or tape or combo?

Looks good. Very clean.

I put screws and automotive black silicon, so it won't fly away.

Planning to install rivet nuts that allow me to detach the front lip by twisting the bolts with my fingers.
