3M Crystalline Window Tint and Vehicle Wrap Transform this Tesla Model 3

CALL (210) 863-1633

We really love this project to transform this Tesla Model 3 for a client. With so many Model 3s being delivered, this client wanted to make sure theirs stood out from the crowd. This vehicle started as a stock, gloss black car. Follow along below to see how we completely transormed it using 3M Crystalline Window Tint, 3M 1080 Series Vehicle Wrap Film and a protective ceramic coating.


To start this transformation, we begin by installing 3M Crystalline Window Tint. This film is a breakthrough in automotive window films technology. Crystalline technology is to window film what Tesla vehicles are to the automotive industry. This window film is ahead of it’s time. This technology allows Crystalline Series to reject a significant amount of heat without changing the appearance of your vehicle. The combination of great looks and high heat rejection capabilities make it the superior choice for comfort.

We perfectly form each window to give you a seamless look that compliments the fit and finish of your vehicle. Our goal is to make anything we do appear like it came from the manufacturer that way instead of being added after the fact.

Now, we move on to the color change vehicle wrap using 3M 1080 Series Satin. Like we mentioned above, we go the extra mile to make this installation look factory.

This includes removing lights, emblems, badges, etc. in order to fully wrap all edges so you do not see any seams.

We use large pieces of wrap custom cut and conformed to your vehicle to ensure that there are no visible seams in the wrap.

We also can wrap all trim pieces in order to give your vehicle a sleek, blacked out look.

As a final step, we apply a ceramic coating to protect the vinyl wrap from being damaged and keep it looking great for many years into the future. Just look at these pictures after we completed the project. This is one Tesla Model 3 that is sure to stand out from the crowd and turn heads wherever it goes.

We say this with nearly every post, but it bears repeating. When it comes to doing a vehicle transformation like this, don’t be fooled by the lure of a discount price only to be disappointed with the end result. There is a large difference between discount work and quality craftsmanship when it comes to these products.
