Tesla might be busy testing its next-gen Plaid powertrain at the Nurburgring, but certain owners have other things to do, such as play with the Model 3's front fascia.
For instance, the pair of images we have here showcase a Model 3 that tires to impersonate the Audi RS3 and does a pretty good job at it.
To be more more precise, we're looking at a front grille surround, complete with the four rings of Ingolstadt and the RS3 badge, but this only covers the front end of the machine. Oh, and from the camera angle used here, the EV looks a bit like the Nissan GT-R.
As for the posterior, one more RS3 badge sits here, while the apron features a few simple lines that help it resemble that of the German hot hatch.
Frankly, this looks more like a brilliant vinyl job rather than one complete in Photoshop and we have to admit it has caused quite a few giggles here in the office. So perhaps we're looking at the pinnacle of bumper sticker evolution...
Besides, the Performance incarnation of the Palo Alto machine can be considered a competitor for the Audi RS3, so why not have both by adding a few stickers to the EV?
The only thing we can do now is to sit back and watch the Internet's reaction - will the Godzilla fanbois be offended by the said resemblance?
Oh, and if all this "tuning" has you wondering what else can be done with a bit of vynil, you should know that such stunts seem to be a trend nowadays. For instance, here's a 2020 Toyota Supra owner who decided to put an end to the BMW parts sourcing once and for all - the gear head downloaded the BMW badge and printed two of them, transforming his Japanese sportscar into a German one.
