Which Tesla Model 3 Do You Have?
Front and rear bumpers changed with the 2024 "Highland" refresh, so front lips and rear diffusers are not interchangeable between the two generations. Check the fitment line on each product page before ordering.
| Generation | Model Years | How to Identify |
|---|---|---|
| Model 3 (pre-Highland) | 2017–2023 | Rounded front fascia with fog light housings; wraparound "C-shaped" taillights |
| Model 3 Highland | 2024–present | Slimmer headlights, no fog lights, smooth front bumper; C-shaped taillights moved into the trunk lid |

Tesla Model 3 Aero Parts at a Glance
| Part | Material | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Front Lip / Splitter | Carbon fiber or ABS | Lowers the front visually and adds a splitter edge to the factory bumper |
| Rear Diffuser | Carbon fiber or ABS | Replaces the plain lower rear valance with a finned, track-style look |
| Trunk Spoiler | Carbon fiber | Performance, Sport and Aero profiles, from a subtle lip to a taller high-kick |
| Side Skirts | Carbon fiber or ABS | Extends the rocker panel to connect the front lip and rear diffuser lines |
| Mirror Covers | Carbon fiber | Add-on caps over the factory mirror housing |
| Replacement Mirrors | Carbon fiber | Swaps the factory housing for a full carbon shell with no added thickness |
| GTS Hood | Aluminum | Vented GTS-style hood that replaces the factory hood |
| Scrape Guard | Protective strip | Protects the lower front bumper or front lip from curbs and driveways |
Carbon Fiber vs. ABS: Which Should You Choose?
- Carbon fiber: 2x2 twill weave and a UV-resistant gloss clear coat. It is lighter, stiffer, and has a visible weave. Choose carbon if the part will be seen up close or you want a finish that matches other carbon trim.
- ABS plastic: Gloss black or matte finish. It flexes more on scrapes. Choose ABS for a daily-driven, lowered car.
Building a Full Model 3 Aero Kit
Most customers build in this order:
- Front lip. It changes the car's look the most.
- Trunk spoiler. It balances the front lip visually.
- Rear diffuser. It finishes the back of the car.
- Side skirts and mirrors. They tie all four corners together.
Tesla Model 3 Aero FAQ
Will a pre-Highland (2017–2023) front lip fit a 2024+ Model 3 Highland?
No. The Highland refresh uses a completely different front bumper, and the rear bumper changed too. Front lips and rear diffusers are generation-specific, so match the model years listed on the product page to your car.
Do these parts fit the Model 3 Performance?
The Performance trim uses its own bumper design on some model years. Check the fitment line on each product page. If you are unsure, email us your VIN and a photo of your bumper before ordering.
How are the parts installed?
Trunk spoilers and mirror covers install with the pre-applied 3M automotive tape. Front lips, side skirts and diffusers use 3M tape plus bolts or screws into the factory bumper. Most parts are a DIY install in 30–90 minutes. We recommend professional installation for replacement mirrors and the hood.
Does a front lip affect Autopilot, parking sensors or cameras?
Our front lips mount below the bumper face and do not cover the front sensors or cameras. Keep the bumper surface above the lip clear, and avoid lips that extend past the factory sensor area.
Will carbon fiber fade or yellow in the sun?
Every carbon fiber part has a UV-resistant clear coat. For the longest life, wash it like paint and apply ceramic coating or wax every few months.
Where do you ship from?
All orders ship from our warehouse in Walnut, California. We ship across the U.S. and internationally.
