Tesla Model 3 Update: Destroyed the Front Lip, Wheel Disaster and Installing Spacers
ฝัง

- What's up, Tesla nerds! Time to give you an update on the Nerd3. It is now equipped with a busted front lip and super douche-y wheels, so I'm slowly making progress - in the wrong direction. I'll walk you through the installation of spacers and fumble through a few different sizes to figure out which one works best for me.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
The stock wheels are so much better, the blue ones belong on a Nissan Altima that cuts you off in traffic and a color change won't fix that.
Hahaha you're not wrong. Either an Altima or a first gen Cadillac CTS
@@johnsyeats2044 first gen CTS with one working headlight and/or smashed up side
Factory looks way way better
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Memphis River Flixportal :D
Damn, it looks SO much better with those wheels!
Without the centre caps, the car lowered and the spacers, I actually don't mind the stock wheels..
Keep those stock wheels. Lowered with the body kit it looks insane!
But then you can't see the new brake set-up.
I agree.
@@timkinley1779 meh? lol I didnt even notice it with the old wheels
I actually think it looks pretty legit on those stock wheels with the spacers. I thought it looked good with the body kit.
We appreciate your efforts, but a simple set of LM's in 19" would've done the trick. I don't get the fascination with Vossen wheels, when you have BBS Forged Japan or Rays Volk Racing, most Vossen wheels I see are ugly.
Factory wheels look SO much better! (3 piece Vossen’s that don’t fit… punt that crap)
Boy was I wrong, it wasn’t Michelle that took that lip out, 🤣 That sucks so bad Matt. But at least it’s all fixable .
Matty! Get rid of that janky looking bodykit, punt in the trash, tint the windows and get the alignment done- that's it! Your nerd car does not need anything else.
The 1.5 is the “pitch” of the metric thread. 1.5 mm from thread to thread. Imperial threads are measured threads per inch.
Didn’t realize Tesla’s are 5x114.3... some mag blue te37’s would look really good Matt
My son the Tesla Nerd, sez you can run the tire pressures at whatever you want. You have to tell the car to 'Re-Learn' the new setting(s). Wheel Transponders are BlueTooth.
Newer cars some 20 and 21 have Bluetooth. before that was 433mhz
Get a camber gauge! They are easy to use. A digital angle finder works fine to !
Rear spoiler and side skirts is all it needs. Other than a completely different front bumper.
A lot of comments agree that those Vossens look 🗑. The tesla Performance oem wheels on all their models are always 🔥
I hate the OE wheels. They look really dumb and are rather heavy.
Nah. Keep the DBB(Douche Bag Blue) lmao. Matt gotta learn how to Tipping on Four Fours so your lip don’t flying off.
yeah I agree that blue is a no.
Look into ikon or maxton design. You might like the lip they offer.
Ahaha, I read the title and had to click. Thanks for sharing your adventure Matt.
how long before you take off calipers and have them powder coated blue
Check out the "Tesla 3 Ikon front bumper lip spoiler cf cf". Looks like it should match the trunk spoiler well
The “Tesla Nerds” are winning!!!
Unplugged Performance has a nice front bumper for the model 3
I much prefer my bone stock white on white Model 3 AWD with OEM suspension, 18" OEM wheels, and nice MEATY sidewalls. It not only looks and rides nice, but I don't' have to fear every single curb or driveway.
The problem with those body kits is they hang lower. I don't like the look but that's taste. I've owned two model 3 performance vehicles. With mine, I lowered the first car with custom offset wheels that are staggered.
I think the car looks super clean with the factory plastics and just needs to be lowered with a different offset wheel. The bodykits take away from the Tesla to me and make it look cheap.
Stock Tesla wheels look so much better. Not into the body add ons. Lowered with camber adjusted and the spacers looks “dialed in”. Carbon brakes are super impressive. Don’t really agree model 3 perf is ugly but to each their own right? In any event…independent of price, I’d much much much rather roll in a Model 3 performance than any Porsche. Electric and the Tesla tech puts the car in a different league. Nice video Matt …as always great delivery and honest commentary….can’t stop watching every time I begin on of your contributions. Cheers.
What exhaust are you getting?
Lmfao
I heard he’s getting this one www.hautopart.com/product/tesla-model-3-active-sound-buzzer/
Matt will straight pipe it 🤪 hehehe
OE Sidewall so small, must ride rough. Are tires stretched? 8” wide wheel with 235’s? Looked up 8.5”. Need 245 width tire. Also add sidewall if diameter does not increase a lot.
They do that for battery life/drag.
yeah I have stock 20s and bent a stock tesla wheel. I moved to an aftermarket 19 for street and 18 for track
I think a white/tasteful carbon look would probably be endgame on a Tesla. Similar to what you have going now but maybe a sprinkle more. Problem is I'm not sure how many companies are sprinkling carbon on the model 3 in good taste
Love the OG channel... some cars should not be modified..... Tesla Model 3 might be one of them
Love the new wheels minus the blue. Once you powder coat them black they will look awesome. For what its worth, I think you should do the calipers in blue. Would be sick with M Performance blue calipers. I also like the front aero and hope you put it back on. Weird thing is I dont like Teslas but I am being swayed. lol
Hey Matt, I think I see where you’re going with this I really like the rims but yeah the blue just doesn’t work
Maybe leave the body kit until you find a new front lip you might find one that works with the existing body kit you can always pull it off if it doesn’t. Maybe paint the barrels gloss black that three piece design looks really good it would be cool if you find a way to accentuate The design maybe even a really dark gray but I wouldn’t blame you going one color may be a little gun shy after the blue anyways excited to see how it turns out have a good one.
Thank you for getting rid of those blue lips.
Stocks look way better 👍🏻
All black wheels definitely look better.
If I owned a Tesla, I might add some aesthetically good-looking tail pipes for kicks. lol
I'd just look at the body kit as a sunk cost at this point and move on without it. There aren't any great options out there for these cars and it kind of is what it is. Just leave bumpers and side skirts oe, and continue on with the oe+ elsewhere.
I like the body kit!
They use wheel spacers in NASCAR every week!! I worked as a mechanic for ten years.. We ran up to 1 1/4” of wheel spacers all the time with 0 issue
It’s how many MM per thread. 14x1.1.5 mm between threads. So it’s a coarse thread.
No, it's the measurement between threads, 1.5 mm between. Ex a 1.25 thread is finer as the space between threads is 0.25mm less
@@TheZohanLohan you are correct, I was thinking inches not mm. I edited my post.
you sholud get a plate that says OG NERD
Bronze wheels, carbon body kit, unplugged front bumper, carbon rear diff with rain light, carbon spoiler. That would be my build if I could afford it lol
Get a Maxton Design front lip….. only problem with it is that is doesn’t come with pre-drilled holes
Did the Pirelli’s come from the factory? If they did then I’m thrilled my wife’s 2020 Model 3 came with PS4S Michelin’s. In almost every application lately the Pirelli’s are excessively stretched, not so much with the Michelin’s. Plus the fact they turn into rocks long before they run out of tread.
Center caps are safe, if you use a torque wrench.
That body kit is what made the car nerdy. Good decision to remove it. I would also paint the calipers OG Blue. Not much more you can do to this car. It’s not as nerdy of a design as you think, in my opinion.
The white on the rear diffuser doesn't match. How is your OCD not going crazy with that.
lol, tesla nerds gets me cheezin every time.
I think that it looks better with the stock wheels
Matt,
Thank you again for the support!
Let me know if those lug nuts are still bothering you haha. We can certainly work something out...
They are suppose to be OEM replacements without the need for those caps like you mentioned in the video, nothing fancy.
Sorry to hear about what happened to your lip...
For replacement, may I suggest NOVITEC?
modelplusstudio.com/products/novitec-front-lip-spoiler?_pos=5&_sid=bc417f28a&_ss=r
A subtle OEM+ look but in premium gloss carbon fiber. This will compliment well with your carbon AS rear spoiler in my opinion.
We are an official authorized NOVITEC Group dealer, so you will be getting them authentically from the source.
All pieces are made to order, so it takes a few weeks for these carbon pieces to be built in Germany and then Air Freighted over.
Let me know if there's anything else we can be at help with on your Model 3!

Why not use a local wheel refurb shop to repaint the lips? Seems like a pain in the ass to ship back to vossen and wait weeks. Surely a proper wheel shop who knows 3 piece wheels can disassemble, powder coat the rims, and re-assemble back to spec?
looks siiiick!!! can you share what lowering springs you used to drop the car?
Mountain Pass Performance Sport Coilovers.
Still have those 25MM spacers? Can pickup.
Man...those blue wheels look SO bad hahah. Matt so how much lower was that look in this video compared to stock? If I was to get the eibach lowering springs for my m3p. Would it be same? That height looks great to me. I hate it when the guard at top starts to cover the tyre. To me it looks like suspension is broken. But the nice consistent guard all around is awesome. Like a gt car. Good job man. Damn
I doubt springs will lower it as low as I am on the coilovers.
can you give us an update on the pressol 1.3 bottles? like is there any issues with it?
Doing it the hard way! Can you turn the steering wheel?
I am interested in the body kit...
I just took it off today. Shoot me an email. Matt@obsessedgarage.com
The stock wheels look way better imo.
I've got an earth changing suggestion... Why dont you lift the car up 1/2inch and drive it like a cool adult with a respectable lowering kit...
Still love ya bro
It’s not very low. I could go another inch.
Why put on spacers for wheels you’re not keeping?
RIP front lip. Does this mean it is no longer considered a super car? I know Matt likes that term haha. Hope you find some wheels to complete the look.
Ha, ha... Stupid.
Any issues with 15mm spacer in the front? Did you need to get different bolts. Any rubbing issues
None
“Breath N Talk”
The car looks better with original wheels and spacers than the brothers blue lip wheels.
At least You had a good sense of humor about it. S*** happens.
Yep, get rid of the bodykit.
3:12 wheel adapters
How much did you lower from stock height?
About an inch.
@@ObsessedGarage I recently installed the MPP sport coilovers, I’m having a very loud clunk sound coming from the driver side wheel well, I can’t figure out what it would be. I even removed all the parts and reinstalled it and torqued everything down some more as well
Sorry but the “douchy” stock turbine wheels look better.
Polished wheels for white cars
Vossen > BBS > Volk > Works says no one. I'd take the stock turbines over those any day... LOL.
Oh crap I guess I owe you a box of Zebra cakes
Matt ……..i hate to say it but i just keep gettin bad vibes from the Tesla ..lol
Matt have you ever thought about riding a motorcycle? Or doing content on motorcycles?
I had one for 900 miles, got a ticket doing 87 in a 35, sold it a week later, and have never been interested since.
Did you sell em?
I did.
👍
MAXTON DESIGN, CHECK THEM OUT!!!
Looks good as it can look for an ugly model 3? I think it looked good stock, even better lowered.
21's ?..be running on elastics
Carbon ceramics on a Tesla!??
Stop calling us Tesla nerds like it's something to be ashamed of. If you hate us so much then why are you buying an electric car? Don't hate us cuz you ain't us. You don't see Mark Zuckerberg talking crap about grease monkeys do you?
Alright nerd...
@@ObsessedGarage Definition of nerd
1: a person devoted to intellectual, academic, or technical pursuits or interests.
I guess that makes you a nerd too since automotive technology is a technical field.
nerd...
After u have had $800 dollar titanium lug nuts nothing else compares iam sure
Have you thought about the Ingenext Ghost upgrade?
It’s already a performance...
Lip looked tacky anyway
Did you consider a Porsche taycan?
Huge price difference between the 2.
@@robvenom1058 yeah but for him I think he could find the spare change
He mentioned he’ll likely get the model s plaid +
Now UGLY would definitely describe the Taycan….YUK.
@@calpilot7 I thought it looked good on video and then saw one in person. Complete trash styling.
This Tesla, like all Teslas, is cursed
imo this might be the ugliest car you've modified.
You do remember he had a Civic don't you?
@@timkinley1779 The Civic was not as ugly at this Tesla
Check out rpmtesla.com, they make different lips & spoilers for the Model 3
Black calipers for sure. Any caliper besides red or black looks nerdy.
Silver wheels would look better. Black/dark wheels is a terrible trend, just looks like ass
just leave the bloody thing alone,,,its pants whatever you try doing to it..
Come on Matt. Spacers are garbage. All of them.
Thanks for letting us know. I had no idea. Now I need to go back in time and remove all of the spacers I've ever installed.
Says everyone that knows very little.
@@ObsessedGarage Should I start on the rest of the mods :)
@@ObsessedGarage Are the sideskirts and rear diffuser still for sale?
In another year, he will be rollin' coal in his built 5.9...in black. Ying/Yang so the whole series is kinda carbon neutral. Science and stuff..There are probably grants available...
I’m early
