CARBON FIBER REAR SPOILER FOR TESLA MODEL 3
We made these for a customer running in the Time Attack Global race event held at Buttonwillow, CA. T
he results we very positive dropping seconds off the lap times as a consequence of high speed stability.
The 7″ rear spoiler extends off the trunk far enough to pick up some clean air and result in down-force with limited drag to allow the driver to feel more comfortable as high speeds.
We make these here in California by hand. Our goal is to make perfect parts yet, subtle distortions in the weave or pin holes in the gel coat can happen.
With the right materials, the install is relatively easy with: 3M adhesive promoter #06396 and double sided tape #06383.

While we strive for perfect parts yet these parts are hand made and it is not unusual to find pin holes or imperfections in the finish.
$499.00 – $999.00

DETAILS
We use plain weave Toray carbon fiber 3k TOE, 200gsm dry. This is woven by Composite Fabrics of America in Taylorsville, NC. We also use a layer of fiberglass in the middle for impact or damage stability. We use polyester resins & clear gel coat for Marine applications to address the UV stability. NOTE: We have made epoxy parts for years. Many will argue that epoxy is the only true quality product. I would have agreed PRIOR to this project. These parts see the daylight and sun year round. Very few products do well in the sunlight “even with” UV stabilizers. We have found the down side to epoxy is they don’t work well in the sun and with paints. Everyone says using Polyurethane paints over epoxy are the way to go. These statements are WAY to general and in our experience, not 100% accurate. While many people may wrinkle their noses at the polyester, we are rolling with it and believe this is the best material for the application.
We make all of our spoilers the same way. Clear gel coat, carbon fiber, then fiberglass in the middle for some damage toughness, and finally carbon fiber.
When the part comes out of the molds, they need to get some refinishing and touch up work done. If there are un-repairable imperfections in the finish, like serious distortions in the carbon weave, we will primer it gray or black and sell it at a discount. In this case the customer will paint it the same color as the car or vinyl wrap it. It is a good quality part with a primer or painted surface to cover up cosmetic imperfections.
The large spoiler is: 4 lbs, 56″ long width of the trunk, by 7″ wide by 3.5″ tall.
The smaller spoiler is: 3 lbs, 56″ long by 4″ wide by 2.75″ tall.
**”Tall” is the size of the part. When this is installed, looking out the back window of the car is completely clear and visible, no interference.
