THE SIMPLE IDEA
Catch the mess where you can reach it.
Road dirt and debris can collect deeper behind the lower intake, where careful cleaning takes more access. A removable honeycomb screen adds an easy-to-reach first layer for common bugs and loose road debris.
Move cleanup outward
Remove and rinse the screen instead of starting with delicate, hard-to-reach cooling fins.
Keep the clean look
Black honeycomb geometry blends into the lower intake for a low-profile, integrated finish.
LOW-PROFILE BY DESIGN
Protection without the add-on look.
The best accessory is the one that looks like it belongs. A dark, close-fitting honeycomb pattern keeps the front end visually clean while adding a serviceable debris screen.
- Vehicle-shaped insert—not a roll of universal mesh
- Outer screen can be inspected at a glance
- Designed to stay visually quiet in the intake
FIT COMES FIRST
Made to fit. Not cut to fit.
Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and Model S bumper openings change by generation, trim, and refresh. Choose only the exact vehicle version listed for your car.
Choose the exact generation
Pre-refresh, Highland, Performance, and camera configurations may require different guards.
Match the bumper variant
Legacy, Juniper, Standard, Premium, and Performance openings should never be treated as universal.
Confirm the front-end generation
Refresh, trim, and bumper changes can alter the lower opening and require a different insert.
Check the exact lower intake
Match the listed year and bumper configuration before choosing the Model S option.
Before ordering: match the listing to your model year and trim. If your fit is not shown, do not guess.
Choose your fitSTRAIGHT TALK
What this guard is—and what it is not.
An added, removable debris screen
It helps intercept common bugs and loose debris at a more accessible point in the lower intake.
A force field or a range guarantee
It cannot stop every impact, replace routine inspection, or promise energy savings without vehicle-specific testing.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Buy the fit, understand the tradeoffs.
Will a mesh guard affect airflow?+
Any added screen can create some airflow resistance, especially when dirty. Keep the guard clear and avoid any seller claiming “100% factory airflow” without product-specific testing.
What about snow and ice?+
Inspect the screen in winter and clear buildup promptly. In conditions where snow or ice blocks the mesh, remove it until conditions improve.
Which version fits my vehicle?+
Use the exact model year, trim, and bumper variant shown on the product page. Model refreshes and Performance variants can use different intake shapes.
Is this a Tesla product?+
No. This is an independent aftermarket accessory and is not made, endorsed, or sponsored by Tesla, Inc. Tesla, Model 3, Model Y, Model X, and Model S are trademarks used only to identify compatibility.
