1k-1.5k in parts and paint is not that expensive IMO. Compare that to the cost of buying a new car.

I believe he listed that in the first post $415 for the bumper unpainted and another $300-400 for the parts he listed out. So in the neighborhood of $800 is sounds like...
What's the part number for the facelift bumper?
Where are you going to put your laser shifters?
So much cheaper than I would have thought, I'm very intrigued to pull the trigger on mine as well. Be interesting to see closer look at the hood gap, the pic posted earlier didn't appear to be all that bad at all. Like the idea of expanding on the tesla mount to fill the area with something possibly, expanded lighted T with light bar lol.
Definitely will hold out to see the full report, and it's awesome your taking the plunge and documenting it so well for the community. I'm a mod junky and love stuff like this, I've been circling the unplugged performance version, but it's so dang expensive. When you consider the cost of the tesla cover (minus painting) and compare it to the 3k they are asking, you know they don't have much in costs and I know they are trying to recoup their R&D, but dang.
True, but to be fair, the development costs of the mold alone for something like a bumper have to be huge. So outfits like Unplugged Performance have to play a kind of guessing game about price and sales volume before making the investment and setting a price. It's a major risk and the price reflects that to some degree. That's also true of the the Karstyle and TSportline versions, and the fact that there are three competing versions makes the risk all the greater. Now there appears to be a DYI option that's much less expensive, which only increases that risk. My hat's off to Unplugged and the other firms that produce these products for Tesla owners.
Unplugged is awesome yes
Here are more of the parts for the refresh that came in today

All of the parts have arrived in Rockville. Should have them in a day or two. With the facelift/bumper and other parts, total parts cost was about $530. Installation attempt should be made the weekend after next.
I am seriously considering this before I get my P85D dipped. Thanks for the details, Rick.
Once down I will see if I can get a parts listSome of those parts do not appear to be on my list and I don't have them. Do you have part descriptions and numbers we can add? Don't want to be missing anything when we attempt the install. The parts with the double sided tape for example.

For those of us with pre-parking sensor vehicles, can the pre-drilled holes be filled in with something like bondo as a DIY? Or is this something I should leave for the paint shop to take care of? I'm not too thrilled to fill them with unused parking sensors.
I thought I read somewhere that the refresh vehicles lights were different, and the new bumper wouldn't fit the old cars. Glad to see that debunked...
If there is a gap with the finished installation, can a part be 3D modeled and printed to fill it?
