If your 2023+ Tesla Model 3’s front lower grille is cracked from road debris, dented in a low-speed scrape, or has missing grille slats that break the front fascia’s sleek lines—this CFN front fascia lower grille is the key to restoring both your car’s aerodynamic performance and factory-fresh look. As a CFN branded part (not Tesla OEM), it’s engineered to match the 2023+ Model 3’s updated front bumper design, from the grille’s slat spacing and curvature to its mounting points, ensuring a seamless fit that blends with the original fascia.
Unlike small decorative parts, the front lower grille plays two critical roles for your Model 3: aerodynamic optimization and component protection. Its semi-closed slat design aligns with Tesla’s 2023+ aerodynamic engineering—guiding airflow under the bumper to reduce wind resistance (a key factor in maintaining the Model 3’s range) while preventing excessive air turbulence that could affect handling at high speeds. This CFN grille mirrors the original’s airflow pattern exactly, so you won’t lose any of the vehicle’s designed efficiency. At the same time, it acts as a barrier: blocking rocks, sticks, and road debris from hitting the radiator, AC condenser, and other under-front components—avoiding costly damage to internal parts that generic grilles (with larger gaps) might miss.
In terms of appearance, it’s a match for the 2023+ Model 3’s front-end style. The grille’s matte black finish (or paintable base, depending on your car’s trim) matches the original fascia’s texture, with slats that follow the bumper’s lower curve—no uneven edges or misaligned gaps that make aftermarket parts stand out. Even the tiny mounting clips on the back align with the 2023+ Model 3’s bumper brackets, so installation doesn’t require drilling or modifying the fascia.
Built to handle daily road wear, it uses high-impact ABS plastic with a UV-resistant coating. That means it won’t fade to a dull gray under constant sun exposure, and it can take minor hits from gravel without cracking (a common issue with thinner, cheaper grilles). It’s also water-resistant—so rain, snow, and car washes won’t cause warping or rust (unlike metal grilles that might corrode).
Installing it is manageable for DIYers with basic tools. You’ll need to remove the front bumper’s lower shield (a simple process with a trim tool) to access the old grille’s mounting clips. Pop out the damaged grille, line up the CFN grille with the bumper’s clips, and press until you hear a series of “clicks”—then reattach the lower shield. The whole process takes about 30 minutes, and the result is a front end that looks like it just rolled off the lot.
Note: This grille is exclusive to 2023+ Tesla Model 3s. It won’t fit 2022 or older Model 3s (which have a different lower bumper shape) or other Tesla models. It’s perfect for fixing damaged grilles, replacing worn-out ones, or even upgrading if you want to refresh your 2023+ Model 3’s front appearance—all while keeping aerodynamics and component protection intact.
