01 Step 1: Clean Surface

Be sure to prepare the surface that the rear diffuser trim 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 rear diffuser trim to confirm which areas need to be cleaned.

02 Step 2: Test Fit

Place the rear diffuser trim over the factory rear fascia to check for proper fitment. The primary goal here is to cover the factory plastic trim without impacting visibility of rear light and reflector indicators.

Before you install the rear diffuser trim, 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

Once you have determined where to place the rear diffuser trim, apply the supplied adhesive promoter to the areas where the rear diffuser adhesive will make contact with the fascia.

04 Step 4: Installation

Install the rear diffuser trim onto the rear fascia. Adjust the rear diffuser trim accordingly until desired placement is achieved.

Once desired placement is achieved, apply pressure towards the rear diffuser trim while removing the lead ends to ensure the desired placement is locked in place.

Congratulations! You have completed your rear diffuser trim!

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!

Tesla Model 3 / Performance - Dual Rate Linear Lowering Springs Set
Excellent product from a great team with great customer service! The factory Model 3 Performance's suspension is rather underwhelming, so once you add the Dual Rate Linear Springs along with the Sway Bar kit and Luxury Suspension Kit it completely transforms the car!

Same as the fascia, this feels like a must-have Tesla upgrade. The stock Model 3 just doesn’t look the same anymore. I love the dry carbon material and would highly recommend. I wish the diffuser fins came standard, even with a higher cost. With some DIY, you can make the air ducts in the bumper...

Tight on turns and soft on bumps--the mild springs seemed like the best option for folks who want to keep the vehicle as close to stock as possible while simultaneously improving the vehicle ride quality.

I really like the new moderate lowering spring for my Model Y performance. The set lowered the car by roughly 1 inch (2.5cm) I have the feeling that the car provides a smoother ride than stock. You feel it when driving over small bumps. The car is still stiff but I like it better that stock and...
