Unplugged Performance

Deep Blue Metallic Tesla Model S Plaid - BBK, Brake Duct Kit, Carbon Fiber & Wheels

A gorgeous finish, carbon fiber aero parts, a carbon ceramic big brake kit, complete suspension upgrades, and a set of lightweight UP-02 forged wheels, make this Deep Blue Metallic Tesla Model S Plaid a very special daily driver that is built to work flawlessly on the occasional trackday.

When choosing a paint color for your Tesla Model S Plaid,  among the more exciting options offered by Tesla, the Deep Blue Metallic finish is absolutely stunning when polished into the mirror finish you see here at our dedicated paint restoration and protection facility, Bulletproof Auto Spa. We might be a little biased, as this particular build features that exact finish, but as you’ll see from the media gallery below, it suits the Model S Plaid perfectly. Owned by Ravi, one of our long-time customers, this Model S Plaid features a multitude of Unplugged Performance visual & performance additions.

In the front, our recently released Autobahn Carbon Fiber Front Diffuser adds that perfect visual aggression and improved aerodynamics performance to the front end of this vehicle. With the front diffuser, the goal of reducing drag and adding downforce while keeping the entire package usable on the street was a massive challenge.

In turn, we developed special removable and replaceable proprietary carbon fiber Aero Pads that allow you to run a more track-focused setup when desired or opt for maximum ground clearance for daily use or split the difference with the half-height pad. As the pads wear, they not only are easily replaceable but also protect your diffuser from wear and tear. Built from full pre-preg dry carbon fiber construction with our unique and easily replaceable Aero Pads, you can maximize performance and minimize wear and tear, as well as customize the product to your needs.

The front diffuser is joined by the front brake duct carbon fiber cooling kit, ensuring the next aftermarket performance addition is kept cool, even under adverse track conditions. The carbon ceramic front big brake kit (BBK) and the rear superlight large-sweep carbon fiber rotors and race pads installed on this Model S Plaid ensures that this beast can be tracked without worries about its braking system, resulting in greater usability and better track times due to less fade, later braking, and improved braking performance.  On the daily commute, the carbon fiber brake system provides improved efficiency and reliable and repeatable stopping from high freeway speeds.

While this car can’t be pushed anywhere near its limits on the street, on the track it comes alive, moving 5000lbs of muscle lithely through the circuit with improved acceleration, braking, cornering speeds, feel, and driver confidence.

In the rear, Ravi went with our highly-coveted UP x Koenigsegg Collaboration Carbon Fiber Long Tail Trunk Spoiler, giving the rear of this vehicle an aggressive look. However, with the part in question, it’s not all about simply making the rear end stand out. This trunk spoiler elongates the natural lines of the Model S hatch to streamline airflow over and off the back of the car to reduce turbulence over the car by moving the wake further rearward of the vehicle. In turn, it helps keep the rear of the Model S stuck to the ground providing more downforce, resulting in improved cornering performance and speed. Just what’s needed to tackle that lap or eke out that last drop of wh/mi efficiency on a road trip.

In the wheel department, this Model S Plaid is graced with a set of custom-made UP-02 lightweight forged wheels, developed & engineered specifically for this application. In turn, this ensures the best fitment possible, giving the Model S a wheel setup that both improves its looks, but also, removes unsprung weight, as these are lighter than the OEM setup found on this vehicle, stronger than the original wheels, and designed with hints of the original tubine DNA that so well suits the Model S.

For this build. the UP-02 wheels are machined in sizes of 19×9.5 in the front and 19×10.5 in the rear for a high efficiency street-tire application. They come with a Gloss Black finish. To add a sparkle of color along with lightweighting,a set of our superlight titanium lug nuts keeps the unsprung weight even further down.

Regarding suspension upgrades, this Model S Plaid features the complete UP Model S Suspension Package upgrade, which transforms the feel and geometry of the Model S. In total, this allows for improved cornering grip, stability, and control, ensuring even better track times. In turn, if you’re looking for an easy upgrade for your Plaid’s handling, this ticks all the boxes without going with a complete UP x Öhlins TTX 4-Way Pikes Peak Spec coilover setup – which we also offer. However, that is reserved for only the most demanding racers, tracking their Plaids often, and who are looking for the ultimate suspension upgrade out there.

You can get a detailed look at this build in the media gallery right below.

    I purchased the entire suspension front and rear adjustable, and fixed spherical bushing arm sets, along with the rear sway bar for my 2022 Tesla Model S. After the complete UP installation, and spec alignment, the car is a different Monster. Not only it is firm and stable at high speeds, but...
    crisonesurf April 21, 2025
    I have both the rear camber arms and the rear toe arms together making the rear alignment easy and quick to change. I adjust back and forth between street alignment for daily commuting and autocross race alignment for race day. These are easy to use and the settings are very repeatable. Customer...
    Joseph Adamsky April 04, 2025
    50mm spacers are exactly what you need to give your CyberTruck the stance it was created for! By a skilled installer all 4 spacers installed under 45 minutes. 2000 miles on them and no wobble!
    brian cohen February 09, 2025
    I've just transformed my Cybertruck into an even more formidable beast, and let me tell you, this is the upgrade you didn't know you needed until you see it. The installation was as straightforward as it gets - a quick clean with alcohol, peel off the tape, press, hold, and voilà! It was like...
    Richard Stephens February 08, 2025
    Took me about 2 hours total to remove the arms press out the rubber bushings and press in these then fit back to my 24 performance, very direct steering now and drastically reduced the wobbly feeling under hard braking , slightly more road noise over rough roads but if your looking for race car like...
    Stephen Marwick January 27, 2025
    Added these high quality RAC arm set to the D&S PRO coilover suspension lift kit. The ride is amazing after installation and alignment. Highly recommend.
    Mike Nash January 17, 2025
    Wanted an upgrade to the stock suspension that allowed maximum versatility for traversing truck trails towing a camping trailer as well as providing comfort for daily commuter driving. Called and spoke with Kirk Nason at Unplugged Performance in Hawthorne, CA and ordered the D&S PRO coilover...
    Mike Nash January 17, 2025
    Tesla will just replace the entire control arm, with THE SAME inferior rubber bushing. Was happy to find these UPGRADED bushings to solve the problem for good. Excellent customer service as well.
    James Thompson January 14, 2025
    I purchased the Up03 wheel setup for my Model X Plaid in 20x10.5 square. Coming from the stock 22-inch wheels, there was a massive improvement in weight savings, and the car feels more responsive with superior ride quality. I’ve also noticed a significant increase in range. My sales rep, Kirk, was...
    Sanju Gill November 20, 2024
    The UP-05s from Unplugged are a game-changer for my Tesla Model 3 Performance. These wheels have transformed my ride, making the car feel incredibly nimble whether I'm zipping through a Taco Bell drive-thru or carving up some twisty country roads. The aesthetics are on point - these wheels look sick...
    dylanfonseca06 November 06, 2024
    One of my favorite upgrades to the Model 3, allows for fine-tuning of the entire suspension system to balance the car out. Each notch makes a noticeable difference, so certainly flexibility with the settings. I started with Medium/Medium settings and tuned them according to the car's handling.
    Shimmy October 22, 2024
    Beefy design, necessarily. Need the toe arms in conjunction with rear camber arms to dial in toe at the same time, otherwise toe will be out of spec when adding negative rear camber.
    Shimmy October 22, 2024
    Installed traction and trailing arms on 2024 Model 3 Performance, keeps the rear end more stable, especially on hard acceleration and deceleration at the track.
    Shimmy October 22, 2024
    Real cool suspensions the car drives smooth and quite. Made a real difference to the drivability and now I really enjoy driving the car. Absolutely recommend it if your factory shocks have failed. Mine failed in 5 years.
    kerbad October 01, 2024
    My 2021 Model Y performance rode very harsh and bumpy. Like the suspension bottomed out on every pothole. I did the suspension upgrade and it’s a HUGE difference. My car rides great now. It handles the potholes no big deal now. I wish I had done this three years ago when I got the car. Sandy...
    stevelakeport September 20, 2024
    HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPORT PRO COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT. SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT. MUCH BETTER RIDE THAN STOCK. FEELS LIKE I’M DRIVING A SPORTS CAR AND LOOKS AMAZING! ALSO LOVE THAT IM ABLE TO ADJUST HEIGHT AND DAMPING. THANK YOU ANDREW AND UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE TEAM.
    elizabethbanuelos81 September 16, 2024
    Should’ve been stock with all teslas, combined with a stiffer set of aftermarket coilovers, the car handles insanely well. I purchased this front and rear sway bar set along with end links for a standard range model 3. It makes such a huge difference, the car feels more planted especially entering...
    ginjupalli2 September 14, 2024
    This brace was an amazing upgrade for my car. I added the UP rear sway bar first then the full UP suspension then this Strut Tower Brace. I feel this completed the feel i was looking for. The cars back end feels so solid while cornering and over the bumpys feels so solid too. A noticeable...
    Chad Jones May 15, 2024
    WIFE APPROVED!!! I have a 2018 Model 3 LR AWD with the stock 18" wheels. I've always felt that the ride was a bit stiff and jittery with the stock suspension. Looking around for a solution, I came across coil-over kits which were expensive and I really didn't think I would need the adjustability...
    Kameron May 06, 2024
    The pictures on the website does not do justice. the wheels look extremely beautiful. Kirk was extremely helpful, and coordination was amazing. My wheels are gloss black, not able to add a picture to the review if not would do it. I went with slightly bigger wheels 20x10.5 front and 20X11 back. ...
