Nobody drives anywhereuntil it is confirmed.
Accessory work has one expensive failure mode: a part that is wrong for your year of car, or that nobody has in stock, found after somebody made the trip. So fitment, availability, scope and cost are settled in writing first — whether you drive to Ashburn or we come to you.
What this page does not do is give you a date. There is no calendar here and no slot to claim: dates are agreed with you directly once the four above are settled, and travel timing comes with them.
All four are confirmed before anybody travels.
Fitment, availability, scope and cost are settled in writing first — before you drive to Ashburn and before we drive or fly to you. That order is the whole point of this page. The expensive version of accessory work is a part that turns out to be wrong for your year of car after somebody has already made the trip.
You tell us
- Your Tesla — model and year
- Which accessories
- Whether you already own the parts
- Preferred dates
Why each one
Your Tesla — model and year. The year matters more for accessories than it does for film: parts are cut for a specific generation of a specific car, and a lip for an early Model 3 is not a lip for a late one.
Which accessories. The list, roughly, in whatever words you have. It does not have to be a parts catalog — "front lip, side skirts, ambient lighting" is enough to start.
Whether you already own the parts. Tell us if they are already in your garage, on order, or if you would rather we sourced them. This changes the fitment conversation completely, because a part you already own is the part we are checking against your car.
Preferred dates. Roughly when works for you. This is a preference, not a reservation — we agree the actual date with you directly, and nothing on this page holds one.
We confirm, in writing
- Fitment
- Parts availability
- Scope
- Cost
What each one means
Fitment. That the part is right for your model and year, and for the car as it is rather than as the listing assumed it would be. If you already own it, this is the check that happens first.
Parts availability. Where a part is being sourced, that it can actually be had before anything is agreed. Where you own it, that nothing is missing from the box — brackets and fixings are the usual gap.
Scope. What is being fitted, and where the work happens — your location or the studio. For everything except mats that is the per-project confirmation above.
Cost. The figure, in writing, with any travel shown as its own line rather than folded into it. Travel is quoted; it is never inside a standard price.
Travel is never included in standard pricing. It is quoted for your project, exactly as it is for a wrap, and a single flat national number would be one we made up.
Which accessory work can happen at your address.
The requirements above were written for film, and most of them are facts about film rather than rules about houses. So the answer for an accessory is not automatically the answer for a wrap — and it is also not automatically yes. Here is what is settled, what is not, and what decides it.
3D-printed floor and cargo mats
A mat is a drop-in interior item. Nothing is bonded to the car, nothing is cut against it, and the film’s working temperature range does not apply to a molded mat — so none of the three film requirements are in play. The site already hands a set over wherever the car is, including in the van on a travel installation.
8 of the 9 categories
The rest is confirmed per project. That is not a hedge dressed up as process — it depends on the specific part, how it mounts and what the fitting needs, and inventing a general answer here would be publishing a capability nobody has described.
Every category, and where it stands
- 3D-printed floor and cargo mats Can happen at your location. A mat is a drop-in interior item. Nothing is bonded to the car, nothing is cut against it, and the film’s working temperature range does not apply to a molded mat — so none of the three film requirements are in play. The site already hands a set over wherever the car is, including in the van on a travel installation.
- Front lips Confirmed per project. How the part mounts on your specific car. A bolted lip and a bonded one are different jobs with different conditions, and which yours is depends on the part you have or the part we source.
- Splitters Confirmed per project. The same mounting question as a lip, plus how the part has to be supported while it is aligned. Both are settled against the actual part before anybody agrees where the work happens.
- Rear diffusers Confirmed per project. Whether the fitting needs the car raised to reach the mounting points, which is a question about equipment rather than about your garage.
- Side skirts Confirmed per project. Access along both flanks of the car, and whether the mounting method has conditions of its own. The clearance a skirt needs is not the three-to-five feet a wrap needs, and it is not nothing either.
- Spoilers and wings Confirmed per project. How the part attaches, and how it is held square while it is secured. A spoiler sitting a few millimeters out of line is visible from across a parking lot, so alignment is the whole job.
- LED and ambient lighting Confirmed per project. What the installation has to reach inside the cabin, and how it connects to the car’s electrics. That is a judgment about the specific kit and the specific car, and this site does not publish an answer to it.
- Yoke and aftermarket steering wheels Confirmed per project. He fits these. Where is the open question, and it is the most serious one here: a steering wheel is a steering component with an airbag behind it, and this site has never published what that work needs in the way of equipment or conditions. It is confirmed per project, in writing, before anybody travels for it.
- Exterior trim Confirmed per project. Which pieces, and how each one attaches. Trim covers a wide range of parts and the answer is not the same for all of them, so it is settled against your list rather than as a category.
Northern Virginia near Dulles is the home base. It is not the edge of the service area. Accessory work travels on the same terms as a wrap — how travel works, and how it is quoted.
What decides it
The test, published instead of an answer nobody has given. Where a part lands is settled against yours rather than as a category.
Specialized equipment
Whether the part needs something that lives at the studio rather than something that fits in a van. A part that needs the car lifted, or a bench, or a jig to hold alignment, is a different job in your garage than it is in the bay.
Controlled indoor conditions
Whether the fitting has a temperature, humidity or cleanliness requirement of its own. This is the one that makes a wrap strict, and it is not automatically true of a part that bolts on — but it is true of anything bonded, and which parts those are is confirmed rather than assumed.
More than one pair of hands
There is one studio and one installer. A part that one person cannot hold, align and secure at the same time is a harder problem in a customer’s garage than at the studio, and which parts those are is confirmed per project.
Most of that list is about film, not about your house.
Film needs a clean, enclosed room held inside a temperature band, which is why the requirements are strict. Each one below was asked one question: does an accessory installation create it too?
Applies to any work at your address
- Clean, dry conditions and adequate lighting
- Safe access to electricity
- Location approval before we agree to travel
There because of the film
- Garage held in the film’s working range
- A private, fully enclosed garage
- Three to five feet clear on every side of the vehicle
Not decided
- A single-family detached home you own
None of this changes the rules for a wrap. Installing film at your own address still needs every one of the published requirements, still needs the photographs, and still needs the location review before anybody agrees to travel. That list is a hard requirement with no exceptions and it has not moved. What has been added is the honest answer to a different question: which of those requirements an accessory installation actually creates.
Each requirement, and the reasoning behind where it landed
Garage held in the film’s working range. This is 3M’s number, not a house rule — the published requirement cites the range for the film itself, and the site says plainly that too hot disqualifies a panel exactly as too cold does. A molded floor mat has no working temperature. A bolt-on part is not film. Whether a specific part has a temperature or cure requirement of its own — some are bonded rather than bolted — is confirmed per project before anything is agreed.
A private, fully enclosed garage. The enclosure is doing two film jobs at once: holding that temperature range, and keeping dust and grit off a cleaned panel in the minutes before film goes onto it. The existing copy is explicit that anything landing on a prepared panel ends up under the wrap permanently. What an accessory installation needs in its place — shelter, a flat surface, somewhere the part can be set down clean — is part of the location review rather than a published requirement, and it is confirmed per project.
Three to five feet clear on every side of the vehicle. That figure exists because film is installed panel by panel around the entire car, so every side has to be reachable at once. A front lip is work at the front of the car and a diffuser is work at the back. How much room a particular part actually needs is confirmed per project. It is a smaller question than the wrap version of it, and it is still a question.
Clean, dry conditions and adequate lighting. Light and a dry space are not film requirements, they are work requirements. Nothing gets fitted correctly in the dark, and nothing involving the car’s wiring should be fitted wet. The stricter standard — surgically clean, because of what ends up under film — is the film’s.
Safe access to electricity. Tools and lights need power whatever is being fitted. This one is identical for a wrap and for an accessory, and it is the requirement people most often forget to check in a detached garage.
Location approval before we agree to travel. This is already how everything on this site works. We review the vehicle, the project and the room before agreeing to travel, and we decline work we do not think will come out right. Accessory work does not get an exemption from the review — it gets a shorter one.
A single-family detached home you own. This one is not film physics. It is the shape of property that reliably contains a qualifying garage, which is why the mobile wrap route requires it — and that reasoning does not obviously transfer to work that may not need the garage at all. Whether accessory work can happen at a townhouse, a condo, an apartment or a shared garage is the owner’s call and he has not made it, so it is confirmed per project rather than quietly relaxed here.
Which Teslas.
Wraps are the Model 3, the Model Y and the Cybertruck. That has not changed and it is not changing here.
Accessories are the same three cars. The Model S and Model X are legacy and we do not take them — not for film, not for parts — so there is no trip to plan around one. Tell us the car and you get that answer before anything else is discussed, not after you have driven here.
Where the studio is.
The studio is in Ashburn, Virginia. It is the only one, and the same installer does the work there and on travel.
Private appointment-only installation studio. No walk-ins, no public address — access details come with your confirmed appointment.
Why there is no public address, and what arrives instead
Appointment only, and there is no storefront to visit. One vehicle is in the bay at a time and the work does not tolerate foot traffic through it, so there are no walk-ins — text us, and the location details come with your confirmed appointment.
Knowing the city is enough to plan a trip, and that is what the city is published for. The exact location arriving with a confirmed appointment is how an appointment-only shop works; nothing about your project waits on it.
Tell us the car, the parts and roughly when.
Model and year, which accessories, whether you own them or want them sourced, and the dates that suit you. Fitment, availability, scope, cost and where the work happens come back in writing before anybody travels.
That is the same quote form the rest of the site uses, opened with the service filled in. Put the accessories in the free-text box — model, year, the parts, whether you already own them, and roughly when suits you.
Texting is faster, and it is the same conversation either way.
