Tesla Model 3 (2017-2023) fitted with a KAKAER add-on carbon aero kit

The Tesla Model 3 is the largest platform in our catalog. Nine separate listings cover the 2017-2023 car — more than any other vehicle we build for — and between them they span add-on aero kits, bumper replacements, individually priced carbon pieces and a full widebody. That is a lot of choice, so the question is rarely whether something exists for your car — it is which of the nine is the right one.

Everything below applies to the 2017-2023 Model 3, the pre-refresh car. The Highland (2023-onward) uses different bumpers and panels, and nothing on this page transfers to it — see Tesla for the Highland listings.

What we build for the 2017-2023 Model 3

The nine listings fall into four buying routes. Knowing which route you want removes most of the decision work: within a route you are choosing a design, not an approach.

Some are defined kits with a single kit price; others list every piece separately so you can order just one part.

Route one: add-on aero kits

Tesla Model 3 Type A (V1) add-on kit lists eight parts, six of which make up the full kit: front lip, rear wing, side skirt extensions, bumper corners, vent trim and rear diffuser. Every one of those mounts to the factory panels rather than replacing them, which is what keeps installation realistic for a home garage.

  • Add-on construction. These pieces attach to the factory bumpers and sills, so no panel is cut or removed.
  • Hoods and alternative lips are separate. Both are listed but are not part of the full-kit price, and hoods are the most expensive single pieces in the range.

Tesla Model 3 Type B (V2) add-on kit follows the same idea with a different design language — rear diffuser, front lip, rear wing and side skirt extensions make up the core kit, with a hood listed separately. Choosing between the two is mostly a matter of which front lip and rear diffuser design you prefer.

Route two: bumper replacement kits

Tesla Model 3 LA style bumper kit is the bumper-replacement route: a replacement front bumper, front lip, vent trim, replacement rear bumper and rear diffuser. Because the bumpers themselves are replaced rather than added to, this route changes the shape of the car far more than an add-on kit, and it is the one to pick when the goal is a genuinely different front and rear end.

It is also the most flexible listing on material: the bumpers are FRP, while the lip, vent trim and rear diffuser each come in FRP or carbon. Mixing is normal — FRP bumpers destined for paint, a carbon diffuser left visible.

Tesla Model 3 LB Style Kit is the narrower version of the same idea, covering a front lip and a replacement front bumper. Choose it when the front of the car is the only part you want to change.

Replacement bumpers are not add-on parts. They take the place of the factory bumper, so allow more time for panel gaps and alignment, and budget for paint — FRP arrives ready for primer.

Route three: individual style parts

Three listings exist for owners who already know which part they want. Tesla Model 3 Kit (Style D) covers a front lip, side skirts and a rear wing. Tesla Model 3 Kit (Style E) pairs a similar front and side set with a rear diffuser and a rear wing. Tesla Model 3 Type C (V3) kit offers side skirts, a rear diffuser with lights, a rear wing, a front lip and a hood with a clear window.

Because every piece is priced on its own, this route suits staged builds — a lip and skirts now, a diffuser or hood later — and it is the only route where the hood with a clear window appears. The trade-off is that there is no kit price, so if you intend to end up with four or five pieces anyway, compare the running total against the add-on kits.

Route four: prepreg dry carbon

Tesla Model 3 (2017-2023) Prepreg Dry Carbon Parts is a material-led choice rather than a styling choice. Four pieces — front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear spoiler — are laid up from pre-impregnated carbon sheet and autoclave-cured, which is the lightest and stiffest construction we offer for this car.

If the question you are really asking is dry carbon versus vacuum-infused carbon versus FRP, that answer applies to every platform: our dry carbon vs wet carbon vs FRP comparison covers weight, finish and repairability.

Widebody: fenders and flares

Tesla Model 3 Widebody kit (fenders + flares) is the only listing here that changes the width of the car. It covers front fenders, front fender flares supplied as eight pieces, and the bumper corners that tie the wider front end back together.

Treat this as a different category of job from everything else on this page. Fitting fenders and flares is structural work involving cutting, bonding and alignment, and the finished car needs paint — our widebody installation guide walks through the whole sequence.

Fitment checks before you order

  • Model year. 2017-2023 only. Highland cars from 2023 onward need the Highland listings.
  • Add-on or replacement. Add-on pieces attach to the factory bumper; replacement pieces take its place. This changes the installation, the paint bill and the amount of alignment work.
  • Material per piece. Several listings mix FRP and carbon within the same kit. Material is set per part rather than per kit, so read the part table on the product page.
  • Driver assistance hardware. The Model 3 carries cameras and sensors around the car. If you are ordering anything for the front bumper area, tell us which version your car has before we make it up.

If any of that is uncertain, send photos of the front and rear of the car plus its build date on WhatsApp and we will confirm the right listing before production.

Installation expectations

  • Add-on lips, skirts, wings, vent trim and diffusers mount to the factory panels with standard hardware and are realistic home-garage work.
  • Replacement bumpers need care with panel gaps and alignment, and suit a competent workshop.
  • FRP arrives ready for primer and paint; carbon can stay visible under clear coat or be painted to match the car.
  • Widebody fenders and flares are professional work — cutting, bonding, alignment and paint.

Whichever route you choose, dry fit every panel before final tightening, and re-check fixings after the first few hundred kilometres.

Putting a package together

  1. Decide whether you want to add to the factory bumpers or replace them — that one choice rules out roughly half the listings.
  2. Pick a design language: the add-on kits, the LA and LB bumper kits and the individual style listings each have their own look.
  3. Add hoods and alternative lip versions only if you actually want them, since they are priced separately and change the budget considerably.
  4. Confirm material piece by piece, because some kits mix FRP and carbon.
  5. Confirm your model year and any sensor-related variant before paying.
