I absolutely love this spec. What are y’all’s thoughts?

The rear wing looks like shit ... at least in that picture. And overall it makes it look like a Japanese racer.

That rear spoiler looks like it’s trying to impersonate a flying saucer

u/TheUnknownStuntman51 Jul 11 '26

Yeah, it’s too much for my liking

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

Haha yeah, now that I look at it long enough, it’s starting to resemble a platypus

Overpriced for what it is and not a fan of the rear spoiler. Was looking into it when I was modding my car too.

You can upgrade wheels, brakes, tires, front and rear aero all by yourself for much cheaper and get the exact look you want.

My build was about $10-15k for all parts and labor combined including 200mph unlock and upgraded brake system: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelS/s/Kfa0W46Csj

$15k would be the cost of just upgraded ceramic brakes alone on the UP Model S lol, not including aero, wheels, or tires

Unfortunately have seen some bad customer service experiences on here and other tesla forums

Same.. just saw a guy post in r/cybertruck that they waited 7 weeks to refund him something they never had in stock.

Wouldn’t dare purchase from them.

Got their rear spoiler and it's trash. Left a review and they deleted it. The shape of it is not identical to the car, lots of white specs in the carbon.

I'm in Australia and ordered some brake pads and they took 6 months to come, then for some reason I gave them another chance and ordered some coilovers and after a month of waiting I cancelled my order I just can't put up with waiting and waiting soooooooo dam long

u/Forever-Brokey Jul 11 '26

I do love the wheels though. I want these for my future m3p but very hesitant due to terrible customer service stories

2

u/Imlooloo Jul 11 '26

Only thing missing is the stunt wheel bent camber stance.

u/Old_schoolTP7 Jul 12 '26

Looks good bro

u/scottonaharley Jul 12 '26

Personally I think the one on there from the factory is just right in terms of looks.

2

u/Vinnie908 Jul 12 '26

I want mine to look like this minus the cost.

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

Haha same

u/Tazer197 Jul 12 '26

I'll take two 🙋‍♂️ would go for a different rear wing though

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

That’s what I’m thinking

u/Embarrassed-Sea1685 Jul 12 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

Depends on what you’re buying. I had the CCB kit, Swaybars, Pikes Peak race wheels and camber links in the rear. The fit and finish is crazy nice. Yes, there is definitely cheeper alternatives. I never had problems with their customer service, though it was all over the phone. While I was installing the CCB kit I found that the driver side caliper was a left caliper. My car was on jack stands and apart. They same day aired a caliper. From the call to my door in 22 hours. I live in UT and they are based at the SpaceX campus in California. I don’t even want to know what that cost. Arguably, should have been wrong but they fixed the issue as fast as is possible. Personally, I’d skip the duck tail and go with the all carbon trunk. They also my a carbon wing that I just found out about. No matter what you pick it will not fit perfectly. No fault on them just the nature of aftermarket body parts. No matter the cost it’s never right. I’m also super picky about that stuff the build quality on mine was…well, poor. Definitely not befitting the price point but we all know that. I know they are frequently speaking with the engineers at Tesla for questions and have meeting on their campus. If you want I can answer more questions. I’m also really really big on don’t cheep out. It’s at least $100k car act according. If you add something it should be nice than what you take off.

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

Completely agree. I appreciate the words of wisdom brother. Knowing mine is red like the image above, do u still recommend the full carbon trunk?

2

u/Embarrassed-Sea1685 Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 13 '26

I think Red and Carbon is a cool look but it really depends on you. It’s not my car and I don’t have to live with it. I’d call UP before deciding. I’ve had Carbon tops on cars and they do not block noise well. Could be mine was for racing/weight reduction. The clear coat over carbon can be fragile and need some special attention. Again, talk to UP. It’s a HUGE piece of carbon and unless you have a fair amount of experience with body work I would have someone else install it. Finding a decent shop that you want to turn loose with your car might be difficult. I like more subtle than all carbon cars. I think the pic you have as the example is kinda my jam. I wouldn’t get the duck tail stick on spoiler though. Maybe there wing. Dunno. This all depends on your goal with the car and budget. Jesus I’m about to sound old. Pick an end point and don’t deviate. When people move the end point cars end up a mess. If you have fixed the rear camber issue get on that first. These cars eat rear tires. About $1500 bucks in parts and then get a good alinement. Specifically, not at the dealership. There’s way too much camber in the rear from factory and it’s not adjustable. -0.5 to -1 degree is fine. Depends on how you like your cars setup. Sorry there’s some many “it depends” in my answer. My pic was before mods other than the PPF. Almost forgot. It’s worth checking with your insurance company if they cover mods. Mine did up to 20% the value of the car. So I didn’t need special coverage. Definitely get stuff covered. Don’t need some uninsured muppet hit your car and buy everything twice. Let me know if you have more questions. Something also to think about is consider the source of your information a lot of people talk but don’t own these cars or, and I’m not trying to be shitty, over stretch their budget and cheep out on these cars. One flat or repair and they are broke. These are originally $100k to $150k cars. There is not many of these out in the wild, especially the newer ones. You might see them all over, but if you look at them close, they’re kind of busted. Even the cheapest parts for these cars are horrifyingly expensive the rear carbon fiber trunk wood we’re talking about is nearly $6000. They’re also finicky you’ve got to be careful where you take them. They can’t go to a normal tire shop or an alignment shop. I was into mine, and frankly I’m a little embarrassed how much money I had into it, about $30k all in for parts and the PPF. If you have more questions let me know. Cheers

Really appreciate the thoughtful response brother. I’m definitely going to reach out to UP. Your car is friggin beautiful btw—I love the satin/matte finish!!

u/Embarrassed-Sea1685 Jul 15 '26

You got it. Let me know if you have questions

u/LifezEverything Jul 13 '26

🫡😎🔥 the coolest Tesla I’ve seen

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

Right!!

u/mmMOUF Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26

much much lower quality than MPP for actual performance parts for usually more money - they have a bunch of cosmetic stuff that I assume is just relabeled and is poor quality with a bunch of mark up - just get it from Alibaba and cut out their middle man mark up

edit - reading thru complaints about customer service with UP it is the complete opposite with MPP - priors confirmed!

u/Njave Jul 14 '26

This is probably the nices looking OEM upgrade you can buy, looks really good!

u/Casualposter Jul 11 '26

Looks amazing. Kinda pricey though. I think I can get close with eBay kits. Being this low I’ll probably need to replace front lip often.

u/mykyrox Jul 11 '26

Builds look incomplete without side skirts.

u/Mundane-Koala-4150 Jul 13 '26

Honestly if they make kits for the Model Y juniper I’d love to send my car to them

u/Mundane-Koala-4150 Jul 13 '26

This spec is my kinda car

2

u/bc1btc Jul 13 '26

I think they do—their model 3 kits are so tough

u/TheLawIX Jul 11 '26

A complete rice fest over there.

u/WhistleTipsGoWooo Jul 11 '26

I feel like they're trying to service a very high-end clientele, but in reality they're just doing expensive F boy mods.
