Picture your Tesla Model 3 gleaming under the sunlight, its rear contours flowing with dynamic elegance. This transformation is not merely aesthetic—it represents a tangible performance upgrade. The ACS Composite rear spoiler serves as the centerpiece of this vision, delivering enhanced aerodynamics while infusing your vehicle with distinctive track-inspired styling. Manufactured in North America from premium PC composite materials, this spoiler ensures durability and precise fitment, eliminating concerns associated with inferior overseas products.
Engineering Excellence from Corvette to Tesla
ACS Composite leverages its heritage of developing high-performance aerodynamic components for Corvette sports cars to bring track-proven technology to Model 3 customization. This rear spoiler complements the ACS Model 3 front splitter perfectly, elevating Tesla's design language and driving dynamics simultaneously. The following installation guide provides comprehensive DIY instructions for a seamless upgrade process.
Preparation: Tools and Materials
Before beginning installation, gather these essential items:
-
3M adhesion promoter (included in ACS kit): Enhances bonding strength for secure attachment
-
50/50 isopropyl alcohol solution: Prepares surfaces by removing contaminants
-
Alignment templates (driver/passenger sides): Ensures millimeter-perfect positioning
-
Lint-free microfiber cloth: Prevents surface scratches during cleaning
-
Painter's tape: Temporarily secures components during test fitting
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Thoroughly clean the trunk lid using automotive-grade detergent, followed by degreasing with the alcohol solution. This critical step removes wax residues and contaminants that could compromise adhesion. Allow the surface to dry completely—any moisture will weaken the bond.
Step 2: Test Fitting and Alignment
Position the spoiler on the trunk to verify fitment. Use painter's tape to mark optimal placement, ensuring symmetrical overhang on both sides. This visual confirmation prevents misalignment during permanent installation.
Step 3: Template Application
Affix the provided templates along the trunk's edges, aligning them precisely with body panel seams. These guides serve as foolproof references for final placement.
Step 4: Adhesive Activation
Apply the 3M promoter to designated bonding areas. Wait approximately five minutes until the surface develops slight tackiness—this optimizes the adhesive's performance.
Step 5: Spoiler Installation
Begin peeling the 3M tape backing from the spoiler's center section. Carefully align the component with your markings, applying firm pressure as you work outward to remove remaining backing while maintaining even contact.
Step 6: Final Inspection
Remove all templates and painter's tape. Conduct a thorough examination for any gaps or lifting edges. If detected, reapply pressure to affected areas. Wipe the spoiler clean with microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints or residue.
Technical Advantages of PC Composite
ACS Composite selects polycarbonate (PC) material for its exceptional properties:
-
Impact resistance: Withstands road debris and environmental stresses
-
Thermal stability: Maintains structural integrity in extreme temperatures
-
UV protection: Resists fading and degradation from sunlight exposure
-
Weight efficiency: Redounces mass compared to traditional materials
Aerodynamic Performance Benefits
Beyond visual enhancement, the spoiler delivers measurable improvements:
-
Reduces high-speed drag by optimizing airflow detachment
-
Generates balanced rear downforce for improved stability
-
Contributes to marginal efficiency gains during highway cruising
Maintenance Considerations
Preserve the spoiler's appearance and function with regular care:
-
Clean with pH-neutral automotive cleaners
-
Apply protective wax or ceramic coating annually
-
Inspect adhesive bonds periodically, especially after extreme weather
Compatibility Information
The ACS spoiler fits all Tesla Model 3 variants produced between 2017-2024, including Performance models. Removal remains possible using careful heat application and dental floss technique, though this may require subsequent surface refinishing.
