DIY Chrome Delete Kit for Tesla Model 3
One of our most popular local upgrades is our comprehensive de-chroming. Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to offer it remotely, until now. We’ve taken our experience and know-how to develop a do-it-yourself chrome delete package. What we’ve developed is a comprehensive package of precision pre-cut components that takes the guesswork out of the installation. The end result offers 90% of the result of a professional installer but that can be applied in your garage at home at a fraction of the cost.

One of our most popular local upgrades is our comprehensive de-chroming. Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to offer it remotely, until now. We’ve taken our experience and know-how to develop a do-it-yourself chrome delete package. What we’ve developed is a comprehensive package of precision pre-cut components that takes the guesswork out of the installation. The end result offers 90% of the result of a professional installer but that can be applied in your garage at home at a fraction of the cost.
The remaining 10% that only a professional installer can do would involve stretching and cutting to manage complex curves as well as removal and re-installation of the car’s brightwork. Specifically, for the mirrors bases, we’ve developed an all original design that integrates a splash of chrome in a stylish way with the vinyl. This mirror design resolves a common problem professional installers encounter of mirror auto-tilt interference tearing up the vinyl with long term use. This mirror solution is not only stylish but is a precision pre-cut to allow for easy installation.

Will the vinyl tear where the mirrors fold in?
That is the exact failure this kit is designed to avoid. Professional installers often struggle with the mirror bases, where the auto-tilt movement chews up vinyl over time. We designed an original mirror piece that integrates a stylish splash of chrome with the vinyl and is precision pre-cut to install easily, and it resolves that auto-tilt interference. So the spot most likely to fail on a generic wrap is the spot we specifically re-engineered.
Do I need any special tools or experience to install it?
You need patience and the usual vinyl basics: a clean surface, a squeegee, and ideally a little heat to help the material conform. The pieces are pre-cut to take the guesswork out, which is what makes this doable at home even if you have never wrapped a car. Work in a dust-free space, take the panels one at a time, and do not rush the corners. That is where care pays off in the finished look.
How long does a DIY chrome delete take to install?
Plan for a relaxed afternoon rather than a rushed hour. The pre-cut pieces speed things up considerably compared to cutting your own vinyl, but a clean result still rewards working panel by panel and taking care around edges and the mirror bases. Give yourself enough time to do the corners properly. The finish you get is directly tied to how patient you are during the fiddly sections.
What is a chrome delete on a Tesla Model 3?
A chrome delete blacks out the bright chrome trim around the windows and elsewhere on the body, giving the car a cleaner, more monochrome look. Our kit does it with precision pre-cut vinyl components shaped for the Model 3, so instead of buying a roll and cutting by eye, you apply pieces made to fit the panels. It is one of the most popular changes owners make to modernize the car’s exterior.
How close is the DIY kit to a professional chrome delete?
About 90 percent of the way there, applied in your own garage at a fraction of what a professional install costs. We developed the kit from our own in-shop de-chroming experience, which we could not previously offer to remote customers. The remaining 10 percent is the work only a pro can do: stretching and cutting vinyl around the most complex curves, plus removing and reinstalling the car’s brightwork. For most owners the DIY result is more than close enough.
