I feel like there’s something missing…

I feel like there’s something missing from my M3 set up not sure if it’s the spoiler or lower suspension but when I see other people post, it makes me realize that there are certain options still to be added that really add to a personality of an M3. Thoughts?

Chrome accents would look great with the dark color and the rims, too bad it's totally gone from the lineup

rogue_rocket23 2025-12-10 22:05

Agreed. A touch of red possibly.

ipaintpaintcans 2025-12-10 22:06

Yes, visibility. Those are some dark tints.

Evening_Wrongdoer14 2025-12-10 22:10

Mud flips bro! Set of 4 👏🏼

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:10

I actually like that idea a lot. I was even thinking of adding some red to the Tesla logo on the center wheel caps, and possibly finding a red spoiler to give it some red accents.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:12

I considered it, but I’m a little torn on that. Still I’d have to see what it looks like on another gray Tesla.

ImeldasManolos 2025-12-10 22:12

It’s because you don’t have car keys in your pockets anymore

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:13

15% all around. 50% in front.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:13

😂

mother_fkn_crackk 2025-12-10 22:14

I think the chrome delete goes along with black wheels. To me, that’s what stands out.

tennisproA 2025-12-10 22:15

Maybe because you are comparing to a performance which sits a little lower, has red calipers, spoiler etc ?

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:16

I feel like you might be onto something I think that’s probably what I’m doing

ConsequenceVisible78 2025-12-10 22:17

I’m not a fan of this color it’s either red or quicksilver and the chrome wheels look horrible in my opinion always do black

tennisproA 2025-12-10 22:19

Check out evbase

Powder coat the wheels black and add mud flaps

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:31

Interesting idea. Hadn’t thought of that one.

Scary-Animator-5646 2025-12-10 22:34

Spoiler and an air freshener so you can find the car in a parking lot when you inevitably end up parked next to three other model 3 in the same color.

p3dal 2025-12-10 22:40

Thoughts? I think it must be hard to see out of those windows at night.

AcceptableComment303 2025-12-10 22:44

The motor

rwhe83 2025-12-10 22:45

Looks pretty great to me, but it’s your car.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:46

I shall. Thanks.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:46

😂

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:47

It’s not bad actually.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:47

Thank you very much.

Enjoy_The_Ride413 2025-12-10 22:49

Just got rid of my Jetta GLI for a tesla. Yeah miss the all the two toned paint. Black roof, dark grey car, red breaks, red lines on the front. While the tesla is better it's pretty boring to look at.

matttopotamus 2025-12-10 22:50

With the rims, chrome would have looked solid. I have the same trim as OP though, and I think it’s one of the sleekest combos in the lineup.

rogue_rocket23 2025-12-10 22:51

It'll be looking like Darth Vader before you know it.

p3dal 2025-12-10 22:51

My tint is probably less than half as dark and I had to turn off the auto dimming side view mirrors because the combination of the two made other cars invisible in overcast/twilight conditions unless they had their headlights on. I can’t imagine 50% on the car, much less the windshield.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 22:51

😎

p3dal 2025-12-10 22:52

Is this not a black car?

born_reddy0622 2025-12-10 22:52

Lower it and powered coat the rims but not black

Greg5419 2025-12-10 22:55

Nothing. Looks awsome.  Especially from that angle! Less is more. You have to know when to stop.

I_am_just_here11 2025-12-10 22:57

Red brake caliper covers

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 23:38

nice idea!

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 23:39

not necessarily a bad thing. lol

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-10 23:39

Maybe I can have the deep breathing as my lock sound. :)

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 00:05

nah, its Stealth Gray, not Black.

Odd-Win-5362 2025-12-11 00:26

Engine

JAK3CAL 2025-12-11 00:29

Roof rack?

Kitchen-Ad757 2025-12-11 00:52

Unfortunately the grey just makes the car look bland. No fault of Tesla’s, it would make a Bugatti bland. I wouldn’t go out trying to fix it with cheap-looking aftermarket crap. Appreciate the car for what it is, the best commuter in the world. If you want a model 3 that even remotely stands out, buy a performance in red or quicksilver. That’s really your only option without aftermarket work.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 01:03

I dunno about that.

Logical-Sir1580 2025-12-11 01:19

Think theyre like 50$? I think they look cool on every Tesla I’ve seen them on, and theyre functional.

Capital_Escape_8095 2025-12-11 01:34

Roof rack, hitch, all-season snow tires, ski pass...

THATS_LEGIT_BRO 2025-12-11 02:04

Fuzzy dice

p3dal 2025-12-11 02:06

Could have fooled me! I thought it was just dirty.

bornsinner_4301 2025-12-11 02:17

mud flaps 100%

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 02:23

lol. Classic

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 02:24

Quite the list! 🙂

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 02:31

lol. Definitely the lighting. This was taking during sunset and overcast.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 02:33

Let me check a few images. That seems like a simple upgrade.

Hot-Accountant-4425 2025-12-11 02:49

Have the calipers painted… that should make it pop!

Andres7790 2025-12-11 02:57

The version with ludicrous mode 🤣🤣 , the spoiler, lip, rear diffuser, rims. lower stance and wider/larger tires make it look nicer in pretty much ANY color.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 03:11

I was thinking covers from evbase

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 03:15

100% agreed! lol.

Morham 2025-12-11 03:30

Love the wheels on Stealth Gray. I am searching for 19s myself. I want the color contrast. The 18s and black aero covers just don't do it for me.

OldFargoan 2025-12-11 03:32

My 2019 had some great carbon fiber ones. Wish I knew where to get more. That was really nice.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 03:38

Thanks. I thought the same when buying this one. I figured it stands out a little more than the most common stock gray wheels.

chimelime 2025-12-11 05:20

start going down this road, you'll be stuck in modification/accessory hell

Artistic-Heart-3792 2025-12-11 07:00

Mine is identical, colour, rims, tint. And I often wonder the same. Definitely needs lowering - but I won’t get away with that and not having warranty problems where I live. Been toying with the idea or adding a spoiler in matte black to try match the accent colours. I went off the idea of mud flaps after seeing how much shit gets caught up in them and I don’t see much rain.

FlounderOk7018 2025-12-11 11:13

Nah I think it looks perfect.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 11:50

Yeah I’m torn about the flaps too. When the car is parked it looks like it needs to be lowered, but when in motion it looks perfect.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 11:51

❤️ thanks for that.

Ebarron0125 2025-12-11 12:37

Get some door molding to making it pop

rriicckk 2025-12-11 12:45

OMG, someone has stolen all the chargers!

Equivalent-Figure336 2025-12-11 13:29

Black wheels

FamousStore150 2025-12-11 14:23

Sportier wheels.

kitg12345 2025-12-11 15:16

I suggest powder coating wheels copper color, and wrap the Tesla logos in copper. Change the game.

unkreddit 2025-12-11 15:28

That's such a beautiful car as is, I would be hard pressed to mess with it at all.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 15:39

That’s thinking outside the box. 🙂

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 15:39

I’m a fan of black wheels. Given that the car is less than two months old, I might pause on that upgrade for now.

petamaxx 2025-12-11 15:53

Carbon fibre spoiler, mirror coversand indicator covers. Bright green break calipers.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 17:03

Oooh likey!

OnlyThePhantomKnows 2025-12-11 18:58

Are you fond of the Mandolorean? There hood ornament additions that you can add on. My lady wanted to do it to my M3. "NO!" I am an old (2018) LR. I like the clean lines. I like the minimal.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 21:14

I love the mandalorian! Haha. I’m not there yet with customization. I’m 52. People might start judging. Hahaha

OnlyThePhantomKnows 2025-12-11 21:42

Youngling! You need to learn that the only judge you need to worry about is yourself. *I have spoken!*

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-11 21:48

Absolutely my friend. ❤️

justakekk 2025-12-11 23:54

All you need to do is install a lip on the front bumper. $80 on Amazon, makes it look $8000 better

Sorry-Pen1545 2025-12-12 00:16

I have the same car as yours and I felt the same way. I added a spoiler, tint, and new set of 19 inch wheels from TSportline. I think I’m good for now lol especially when I’m planning on buying a Model Y Performance in the next three years.

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-12 00:44

Oooh. That’s an upgrade I could go for. Good idea!

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-12 00:44

Sweet. Would love to see a pic!

InternalBeneficial54 2025-12-12 02:08

Mud flaps and roof rack..T9 teslasey screen

OaktownCatwoman 2025-12-12 10:33

And back then everyone was wrapping it black.

Fluid_Emergency 2025-12-13 05:04

I had the Sentry mode send me a notification because someone tried to open my MY, apparently they thought it was theirs.

Silver_Republic3479 2025-12-14 22:06

Mud flaps!

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-14 22:33

Got them in my cart! 🙂

faisalfarooqui 2025-12-15 00:51

Like what?

FamousStore150 2025-12-15 07:36

Niche Mazzanti in silver would look great!

Evening_Wrongdoer14 2026-01-07 18:30

So did you consider getting them?

faisalfarooqui 2026-01-08 00:53

I considered it. Ordered them and installed them. Didn’t like it, removed them and returned them. 😂
