Accessory installation

Exterior trim

Aftermarket exterior trim pieces fitted to the car — a bolt-on part, not a chrome delete.

Quoted per project. There is no published price for accessory work and this page is not going to invent one. The part, where it comes from, what it takes to fit it and what the car already has on it all move the number, so it is quoted for your project in writing before anything is ordered or fitted.

The work

What the job involves.

Exterior trim covers the bolt-on and clip-on pieces that change what the outside of the car is wearing: covers, surrounds, inserts, applied pieces and the hardware that holds them. Each piece is dry-fitted in place, lined up against the panel it borders, and fastened with the clips, hardware or adhesive the part itself specifies. Where a piece is supplied as a set, the set is laid out and checked against the car before the first one is fastened.

Before anything is ordered

What you supply or decide.

  • Which pieces, by make and model or by a link.
  • Where they are coming from: yours already, or sourced for the project.
  • Your Tesla, its year and its trim.
  • Whether you accept the fastening method the part uses, including adhesive where that is what it ships with.
  • Whether the car is being wrapped, and whether you want the pieces fitted before or after the film.

Where the part comes from.

Tell us which part you want and where it is coming from. Some people have already bought the part and want it fitted; some want us to find it. Which of those applies, and what it costs, is settled in writing for your project before anything is ordered or fitted.

The film rule is a film rule. We supply the vinyl on a wrap and we do not install film you bring us, for reasons set out on /scope. That was never a statement about bolt-on parts and it is not one now.

The limits

What this does not promise.

  • This is not a chrome delete. A chrome delete is film cut over the factory brightwork, it is a wrap technique, and we do not do it — see /scope. Fitting an aftermarket piece over or in place of a factory one is a different operation with a different answer, and the two must not be read as the same offer.
  • No finish match to an adjacent factory panel. An aftermarket gloss black is somebody else’s gloss black, and next to Tesla’s it is usually visible.
  • No promise about the surface a piece sits against. Clips, hardware and adhesive mark paint and film, and a panel that has carried a part is a panel that has carried a part.
  • No paint work. We do not refinish, respray or color-correct a panel to meet a part.
  • No manufacturer warranty from us.
Where this sits

Fitting a part is not wrapping a car.

So adding this service changes nothing about the wraps. Full-vehicle color changes only, still no partial wraps, and still no chrome delete — that one is film over factory brightwork, which is a wrap technique rather than a part, and it is still work somebody else does better. What is new is that if the thing you want is an actual part, the answer is no longer no.

Why a wrap and a bolt-on part are different operations

These are two different operations and the site keeps them apart on purpose. A wrap is film: nothing comes off your car, the film is cut to each panel’s pattern, and every edge is worked to whatever it meets. Accessory installation is fastening a part on, which is a normal thing to do to a car and an abnormal thing to do during a wrap.

Which cars.

We wrap the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck, and those are the cars these parts are fitted to here. The Model S and Model X are legacy cars we don’t take — not for a wrap, and not for a part — so there is nothing on this page we would fit to one. Ask about anything else and you get a straight answer rather than an assumption.

One bay

One studio in Ashburn, Virginia, and one installer. Accessory work books into the same single bay as everything else, which is why there is no parts counter, no fitting bay and no while-you-wait option on this page.

Asking

How to ask about a part.

The quote form is the one we already have, and it is the one to use. Its Service dropdown now carries “Accessory and aftermarket installation”, and the links on these pages select it for you — name the part in the details box and that is the whole request. If you came straight to the form, pick that option yourself.

  • The part: a make and model, or a link.
  • Whether you already have it, or want us to source it.
  • Your Tesla, its year and its trim.
  • Whether the car is being wrapped, or already is.
  • A photograph of the area, if you have one.

On the form: Service → “Not sure yet — help me choose”. Texting works just as well, and for a part it is often faster — a photograph or a link answers more than a form field does.
