    sdiver68 22 M3LR build thread

    Fascia off to the painter today! Finally, 2 months after I thought it would happen. Here are the "models" for my fascia paint scheme. Inspired by, borrowed from, interpreted, copied...call it what you want!

    sdiver68 22 M3LR build thread

    It occurred to me that 1 of the things I dislike about Tesla looks is from the front you always see the giant silver screen. So I decided to swallow sticker shock and buy 1 of the matte CF covers. Was surprised there is no simple matte black plastic option available which would have served the...

    New front fascia arrived. Unfortunately without the sensor holes drilled. Which would be no big deal except not only are they drilled out but need to add a 1mm inside lip on them. So I did that yesterday with drill + dremel and am waiting for spare sensor and gasket to test fit all prior to...

    Going to 1 of the best wrap/tint/ppf installers in the area today to review options. Perhaps have a few more options other than what's listed above. 6) Go ahead with the matte CF parts and then use tinted ppf to darken. This will be $$ for the diffuser in particular but perhaps the only way...

    So I love this diffuser, but wish the custom matte CF was a few shades darker towards black. As is, I'd consider the color anthracite particularly in daylight. In hindsight, and still a possibility if I want to uninstall and reinstall is to matte clear the diffuser again with some darker tint...

    Unplugged Performance Fascia issue

    I agree thats not the root cause. There are physical differences in old vs new headlight but mostly on the underside.

    Unplugged Performance Fascia issue

    Update: UP looking into it. Possibly due to matrix headlights, but that's just a theory.

    Unplugged Performance Fascia issue

    After now 2 test fittings there are sizable holes left by what I would consider overcutting the fascia during manufacturing or maybe I got someone else's fitting mistake. See pics and video. I understand aftermarket parts aren't OEM and some fit tolerance is to be expected. But this seems more...

    Upgrade 22LR or buy Highland?

    Something to think about in the "Is it worth upgrading to Highland" that I haven't seen really considered in the various pros/cons discussions. After doing the math, I can spend about $5k upgrading my current 22LR just in tax savings alone. That doesn't include higher car, insurance, or...

    Different MSRP pricing on 2022 Model 3

    Yes I bought mine in 2022 and there were price increases every couple months it seemed. I got in about 1/2 way up.

    sdiver68 22 M3LR build thread

    Hi all, Want to first thank forum members for being such an invaluable resource for me starting well before buying mine in August 2022. So far I've just done the usual small stuff. Frunk cooler, all weather mats, cubby organizers, removed wheel covers, etc. But then "almost year 2" fever...
