Yeah, we know, Elon Musk advised Tesla Model S owners it's better not to tune their electric sedans because the Model S is a sensitive piece of equipment and making changes to the factory setup would eventually backfire.
We tend to agree with that, but who can refuse some harmless, discrete parts meant to turn more heads while you're waiting for that red light to turn green? Or maybe you're the type who likes his or her car photographed by strangers in parking lots, which is also not wrong at all.

Anyway, what you see here is a set of carbon fiber bits and bobs mean to make a Model S stand from the crowd. These personalization amenities are offered by Strut and are marketed as being made of carbon fiber.

We don't know about that, just like we don't know the price tag on them since you'll have to contact the guys selling them to get a price quotation.

Just so you know, Strut have specialized in designing grilles for various cars, so they should be aware of that they're doing. As you'll see in the pictures, the Tesla badge on your Model S will also be replaced by the Strut emblem, although we have a hunch that's an optional feature.

In any case, the pack comes with a front grille, door guards, and a rear spoiler with the integrated emblem we were telling you about one paragraph ago.

Also, all the pieces are crafted from 2×2 carbon fiber and feature a red trim reminding us of a particular red colour found on the wheels, front spoiler, door mirror caps and rear wing of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Sure, they won't boost the performances on your Model S, but they look good, don't they? Although, we would have liked to see the whole car, not just some close ups.
