Tesla Model 3/Y Aluminum License Plate Frame with Lock

No, each vehicle requires its own frame due to differences in bumper mounting hole positioning. We offer separate SKUs for Model 3 and Model Y — make sure to select the correct vehicle when ordering. The precision-matched threading is engineered specifically for each model's factory mounting holes to ensure a snug fit without damaging bumper threads or sensors.

The Black and Silver options refer to the color of the decorative snap-on caps that conceal your security screws. Both use the same proprietary security pattern and 316L marine-grade stainless steel hardware — the choice is purely aesthetic. Select Black for a minimalist matte finish or Silver for a chrome appearance that complements your Tesla's trim.

You can absolutely install this yourself — the kit is designed for DIY installation with no additional tools required beyond what we provide. The installation process takes about 15 minutes: remove old screws, clean the mounting area, hand-thread the security screws in a star pattern using our included custom security driver, and snap on the decorative caps. Just keep the specialized security key in your glovebox for future plate transfers or registration renewals.

No, the frame uses 316L marine-grade stainless steel hardware, which is 100% rust-proof and corrosion-resistant against road salt and moisture. This prevents the orange streaks on your Tesla bumper that commonly occur with standard zinc-plated screws, even in harsh winter or coastal driving conditions.

Standard license plate frames often rattle because screws loosen or hardware flexes under vibration. This frame includes high-density EPDM anti-vibration rubber washers that cushion between the screw head and plate, eliminating rattling during high-speed driving or when your premium audio system is playing. The washers should be slightly compressed when tightened to maintain this cushioning effect.
