01 Step 1: Clean Surface

Be sure to prepare the surface that the deflectors will make contact with prior to install. Be sure to use a cleaning solution that does not leave any residue. If the contact areas are unclear, you can test fit the deflectors to confirm which areas need to be cleaned.

Keep in mind that if you have paint protection products on your vehicle such as Ceramic Coating, Paint Protection film, or any other protective coating that may reduce a proper adhesive bond MUST be removed in the areas where the adhesive makes contact with the vehicle. Failure to remove paint protection materials prior to installation may lead to accelerated failure of the adhesive bond, and damage the product. Improper installation of this product is not covered by our limited parts warranty. If the above note is unclear, please contact our support team at support@unpluggedperformance.com, or consult local experts in paint protection services for further support.

02 Step 2: Test Fit

Test fit each deflector, and outline each deflector placement using masking tape as shown below. Then remove the deflectors.

Model 3 Performance Carbon Aero Kit Install

Before you install the deflectors, be sure to pull the backing tape at each edge so that it can be pulled away once the lip spoiler is in the correct location.

03 Step 3: Prep Surface

With the deflector contact points outlined by masking tape, use the supplied adhesive promoter where the deflector adhesive will make contact. ONLY do this on one side of the vehicle for now. Repeat on the other side once step 4 is complete.

04 Step 4: Installation

Install the deflector onto the front bumper. Adjust the deflector accordingly until desired placement is achieved.

MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE CARBON AERO KIT INSTALL 00037
Once desired placement is achieved, apply pressure towards the deflector while removing the lead ends to ensure the desired placement is locked in place.

Apply even pressure throughout the adhesive contact area to ensure the adhesive is properly securing the deflectors to the front fascia. Then remove all masking tape.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other deflector.

Congratulations! You have completed your deflector installation!

The cure time for the adhesive is a few hours, so be sure not to expose the car to moisture for at least 24 hours after installation. Otherwise, you are all set to go!

I love my brake kit! One of the only things I didn’t like about my Model S Plaid was how under braked it was and these made a massive difference. By far the best upgrade I have made so far. I plan on tackling my suspension next.
