Enhance the Model S Silhouette with Premium Rocker Panel Side Stripe Graphics
The Tesla Model S has one of the most elegant silhouettes in the automotive world — long, low, and unmistakably premium. Our Tesla Model S Side Stripe Graphics (2016–2024) are designed to complement that silhouette, not compete with it. A clean rocker panel stripe that runs along the lower body line, emphasizing the car's low stance and adding a subtle sporty edge to an already striking design.
Understated Styling for a Luxury EV
This isn't a bold graphic kit. The design is intentionally refined — a tasteful rocker panel accent that enhances the Model S's premium, performance-focused aesthetic without overpowering it. It's the kind of detail that reads as factory-optional: something the car could have come with from the Fremont line.
Paint-Like Finish from High-Grade Automotive Vinyl
Cut from high-grade automotive vinyl, these decals deliver a smooth, paint-like appearance that holds up through years of daily driving:
- UV-resistant — color-stable finish that won't fade in the sun
- Weather-resistant — built for harsh conditions and frequent washing
- Long service life — durable enough for the long haul
- Pre-cut panels — easier alignment, cleaner result
Easy DIY Wet-Apply Install
Pre-cut panels make alignment straightforward. Use a wet-apply method on a clean, decontaminated surface for fine adjustments, then squeegee out the solution for a bubble-free, seamless finish. No professional installer required.
Fully Removable — Change Your Build Anytime
The stripes bond securely but can be removed later with heat and proper technique — no paint damage, no residue. Perfect for owners who want a custom touch without a permanent commitment.
Compatible with: Tesla Model S (2016–2024), all variants
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these side stripes fit all Model S variants from 2016 to 2024?
Yes. The kit is designed to fit Tesla Model S rocker panels across all 2016–2024 variants, including both the pre-refresh and post-refresh body styles.
How do I install the side stripe graphics?
Use a wet-apply method on a fully cleaned and decontaminated surface. The slip solution lets you position the pre-cut panels before they set, then squeegee out the moisture for a bubble-free finish. Allow the vinyl to fully cure before using high-pressure washes.
Can I run these through an automatic car wash?
Yes, once fully cured. Avoid high-pressure washes immediately after installation and abrasive brush washes at any time to protect the decal edges.
Will the stripes damage my paint when removed?
No, as long as removal is done carefully. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the vinyl, then peel slowly at a low angle. Any remaining adhesive can be removed with an automotive-safe adhesive remover.
How long will the vinyl last?
With proper installation and care, automotive-grade vinyl typically lasts 5–7 years. UV and color-stability resistance help prevent fading and edge lifting over time.
Is this kit suitable for the Model S Plaid?
Yes. The kit fits all Model S variants within the 2016–2024 range, including the Model S Plaid.
