    I am. Search my user name for my other posts and there's a thread I made on it. We're stalled for the better part of a month here but someone much smarter than I seems to think we can get it to work.

    I'm going to bring some sadness to this thread... :-(

    My car is for sale and I just leased a P85D. A P85D I won't be able to make any changes to. That means I'm not going to be able to carry the torch on this particular project. I'm more than happy to set someone up with the part number or if you're in LA I believe the bumper should be available at the Burbank service center. I'd have to call to follow up.

    Does any one have pics of a refreshed silver Model S with the 21 inch grey turbines?

    The refreshed silver looks awesome and when paired with the grey rims looks the best.

    Did the refresh get wiper nozzles in the wipers like the X? Or does the heater nozzle spray pattern still not work on the highway?

    That wasn't updated. Probably because the parts for the wipers are different sizes on the S and X and they couldn't merge the two into using the same part. The refresh was mostly porting as much from the X to the S within reason. The more they can make the two cars the same, the cheaper they can make production for both.
