Give Your Tesla Model 3 a More Aggressive Stance with Side Stripe Decals
The Tesla Model 3 has one of the cleanest silhouettes in the EV segment — but clean doesn't have to mean plain. Our Tesla Model 3 Side Stripes Decal Kit (2017–2021) adds a performance-inspired rocker panel graphic that visually lowers the car, sharpens its profile, and gives it a more aggressive, purposeful stance without touching the paint.
The Rocker Panel Stripe: A Subtle Upgrade with a Big Effect
Rocker panel stripes run low along the doors, following the factory body lines of the Model 3. The result is a visual effect that makes the car sit lower and look wider — the same trick used on factory sport packages from performance brands. On the Model 3's already sleek profile, it reads as OEM-plus: like it could have come from the factory that way.
Premium Vinyl Built for Daily Driving
This isn't craft vinyl. The kit is cut from automotive-grade, UV-resistant vinyl engineered to hold up to everything daily Tesla ownership throws at it:
- Sun exposure and UV fading
- Rain, road grime, and frequent charging stops
- Automatic and touchless car washes
The finish stays sharp and the edges stay sealed — wash after wash, season after season.
Minimalist Styling That Suits the Model 3
The design is intentionally subtle. No oversized graphics, no loud branding — just a clean, low-profile stripe that complements the Model 3's minimalist aesthetic. It's the kind of modification that enthusiasts notice and everyone else just assumes came from the factory.
Reversible — No Permanent Commitment
Applied with a standard wet-install method, the stripes bond securely to the rocker panels but can be removed later with heat and care if you ever want to change your build. No paint damage, no residue, no regrets.
Compatible with: Tesla Model 3 (2017–2021)
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these side stripes fit the 2022+ or Highland Model 3?
This kit is designed specifically for the 2017–2021 Tesla Model 3 body. The rocker panel geometry changed with later refreshes, so fitment on 2022+ models is not guaranteed.
How do I install the side stripe decals?
Install on a fully cleaned and decontaminated surface using a standard wet-apply method. A slip solution lets you position the decal before it sets, then squeegee out the moisture for a bubble-free finish. Avoid installation in direct sunlight or below 50°F for best results.
Can I run these through an automatic car wash?
Yes. The vinyl is rated for automatic and touchless car washes. Avoid abrasive brushes and harsh chemical cleaners to maximize the life of 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 adhesive remover safe for automotive paint.
How long will the vinyl last?
With proper installation and care, automotive-grade vinyl typically lasts 5–7 years. UV resistance helps prevent fading and edge lifting over time.
Do the stripes come in different colors?
Check the product page for available color options — the kit is designed to match or contrast with the Model 3's color palette for a custom look.
