Tesla Model 3 Performance (2024+) Carbon Fiber Front Lip Cover
What it is
The Carbon Fiber Lip Cover is a premium exterior piece for the 2024+ Model 3 Performance that replaces the stock plastic appearance on the lower front lip with real carbon fiber. The result is a crisp, OEM plus look that matches the design intent of Tesla’s refreshed Performance trim without shouting for attention. It sits where your eye naturally lands at the leading edge of the car, tying the front bumper, grille frame, and splitter area together into one cohesive face.
Why it matters even without CFD
Our Model 3 Performance aero program is developed with CFD and track feedback to protect efficiency and deliver usable downforce when desired. This Lip Cover is intentionally different. It is a visual upgrade first, engineered to integrate cleanly with Tesla’s very low drag baseline. There are no geometry changes here that would move airflow in a measurable way. Instead, you get a refined material and surface finish that complements our performance parts and preserves the balanced flow Tesla worked hard to achieve.
Design and materials
The Lip Cover uses prepeg carbon fiber with tight, and uniform weaving. It is shaped to follow the factory bumper lines so it looks native from every angle. Choose gloss for a high-contrast motorsport vibe or matte for a stealthier presentation that blends with the rest of the trim. Up close, the weave alignment and edge quality speak to the same attention to detail we use across our Model 3 Performance components.
Clean, reversible installation
Installation is straightforward and non-permanent. No cutting and no drilling. The car can be returned to stock within minutes, which makes the Lip Cover a confident choice for owners who prefer minimal upgrades.
Pairs with your performance goals
While the Lip Cover is a styling piece, it is sized and contoured to sit comfortably alongside our functional aero and chassis upgrades. It visually completes the nose when paired with components like our canards, side skirts, and efficiency trunk spoiler, and it looks right at home with UP-RW indestructible wheels, moderate lowering springs, sway bars, and big brake kits. Whether you are building a daily that feels premium or a weekend car that spends time at the track with our aero kit, the Lip Cover provides the polished first impression that ties everything together.
Everyday benefits you will notice
From a few steps away, the front of the car reads cleaner and more intentional. The carbon surface adds depth in photos and video, and it hides light scuffs better than the basic plastic look. Because the installation does not alter the bumper geometry, you keep Tesla’s careful airflow management at the nose while gaining a finish that matches the rest of your premium upgrades.

Does the Front Lip Cover add downforce, or is it just for looks?
It is a visual upgrade first, and we are upfront about that. The cover replaces the plastic look on the lower front lip with real carbon fiber, but it makes no geometry changes that would move airflow in a measurable way. Tesla’s refreshed Performance front already runs a very low-drag baseline, and this piece preserves that. If you want front downforce, our Performance front lip spoiler is the functional part.
Will the Lip Cover fit a 2024+ Long Range Model 3?
No. This cover is shaped for the 2024+ Model 3 Performance front bumper specifically, and it follows those factory lines to look native. Long Range and Standard cars use a different front end. If you drive a non-Performance 2024+ Model 3 and want a carbon front piece, the two-piece splitter-style lip is the one built for your bumper. Fitment here is Performance-only.
How is this different from the Performance Front Lip Spoiler?
The Lip Cover is a styling piece that leaves airflow untouched, priced at $995 and reversible in minutes. The Front Lip Spoiler is a functional aero part that reduces lift and increases downforce, and it is the prerequisite for the front deflectors and racing diffuser. Pick the Cover if you want a clean carbon nose with zero aero change. Pick the Spoiler if you are building toward track aero.
Can I take the Lip Cover off if I lease my Model 3?
Yes, easily. Installation is non-permanent with no cutting and no drilling, and the car returns to stock within minutes. That makes it a low-risk choice for leased cars or anyone who wants a reversible upgrade. Nothing about it commits you. When the lease ends, the front bumper is exactly as Tesla built it.
What is the Lip Cover made of and what finishes are offered?
It uses prepreg carbon fiber with tight, uniform weaving, shaped to follow the factory bumper lines from every angle. You can choose gloss for a high-contrast motorsport look or satin for a stealthier presentation that blends with the trim. Up close, the weave alignment and edge quality match the rest of the UP Model 3 Performance carbon parts. It is real carbon, not a hydro-dip.
Is the Lip Cover hard to install?
No. It is a straightforward, non-permanent fit with no cutting and no drilling, and because it does not alter bumper geometry, it sits where it belongs without fuss. Many owners handle it at home in well under an hour. The factory bumper lines guide alignment, so there is little guesswork. It is one of the simpler carbon additions on the car.
Does the carbon surface hold up better than the factory plastic?
The carbon finish adds depth in photos and video and hides light scuffs better than the basic plastic look from a few steps away. It reads cleaner and more intentional at the leading edge of the car. That said, the base coat should be sealed for long-term appearance. Day to day, it looks sharper than what it replaces.
Does this piece work with other UP Performance upgrades?
It is sized and contoured to sit alongside functional aero and chassis parts, so it visually completes the nose next to canards and the efficiency trunk spoiler. It also looks at home with UP-RW wheels, lowering springs, and big brake kits. It is the finishing detail rather than the centerpiece. Build the car you want and the Lip Cover ties the front together.
Why reference the aero program if this part is not aerodynamic?
Because our CFD and track development lives in the functional aero parts, and the Lip Cover is deliberately the opposite: no measurable airflow change. We separate the two so you know what you are buying. If you want the engineered version, the Performance full aero kit is where the downforce work sits. This piece complements those parts cosmetically while preserving the balanced flow Tesla built in.
Will the Lip Cover keep Tesla’s factory airflow management intact?
Yes. Because installation does not alter the bumper geometry, you keep Tesla’s careful airflow management at the nose while gaining a carbon finish. There is no trade-off between the look and the car’s baseline efficiency here. It sits on top of what is already there. That is exactly why it suits owners who want minimal, reversible changes.
What does the Unplugged Performance product warranty cover?
Unplugged Performance offers a comprehensive warranty on all parts and installations performed by our certified technicians. Warranty coverage applies to defects in materials and workmanship on items including lowering springs, coilovers, big brake kits, brake pads, stainless steel brake lines, shocks, and more. Should any covered part fail under normal use or display premature wear, we will repair or replace it at no additional cost—assuming the component was installed by us or at one of our authorized partners.
This warranty is valid for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first, excluding consumable products like brake pads, rotors, and tires, starting from the installation date. Coverage extends to labor for warranty repairs when performed by Unplugged Performance or an authorized installer. It does not cover damage resulting from misuse, accidents, off‑road use, improper installation not done by us, or modifications that aren’t factory-approved.
To file a warranty claim, simply contact our service team. We’ll guide you through inspection, shipping (if needed), and repair or replacement logistics. transparencia and top-tier support are what you can expect from Unplugged.
Will installing Unplugged Performance parts void my Tesla warranty?
Installing aftermarket parts does not automatically void your Tesla warranty. Under the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (www.sema.org/sema-enews/2011/01/ftc-validates-right-to-install-aftermarket-parts), a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because you installed aftermarket parts. Tesla must prove that the aftermarket part caused the specific failure in question to deny a warranty claim. UP recommends retaining all factory parts to allow reverting to stock if needed.
What are the shipping options and times?
Unplugged Performance processes orders quickly, typically within 1–2 business days after placement. For U.S. customers, orders under $50 usually ship via FedEx SmartPost with an estimated delivery time of 2–7 business days. Larger items like body kits or bumpers may ship via freight carriers with curbside delivery; customers will be contacted to schedule a delivery window.
