I did mine a few weeks back but wanted to wait for my summer tires before I posted it. I love the Chrome Delete! I made a few small errors but overall it came out pretty good.

Beautiful! Did you go with the satin or gloss?

Mine were already blackNice job, looks great!
How did you black out the louvers in the lower part of the grill? My kit did not come with these.
Mine were already black
On earlier cars that didn't have the premium upgrades package it didn't have a lot of little things and a couple of big things. That was the one visual items that was different.Did you buy your car used? I have not heard of the louvers ever being black.
I apologize for any delay in getting back to forum replies/messages. We are currently experiencing higher than normal order volume. I will make sure we get back to everyone as soon as possible!

Any update on shipping? I am still waiting for a few missing pieces
Any update on the carbon fiber look or dark grey? Right now on the web site the options are gloss, stain and flat black.
These kits look great.
We have been experiencing high order volume the last couple of weeks so we are working to get out stock color options as fast as possible. As soon as we're caught up we will add satin dark grey and then carbon fiber
I found some pictures here: Tesla Model S Chrome Delete - Custom Services by T Sportline@Nikola Pro Do you have any pictures of the kit installed on a lighter colored car such as Silver? I'm trying to visualize how this looks on my Silver S.
I think it looks awesome on Red, Black and probably blue as well, but I think black vinyl will stand out too much on a Silver car.
I wish I could see it installed on a Silver car as that will make my decision much easier. Thanks
after reading all of this thread, I am now wanting to order a set in satin black! provided it does come with the nosecone, lower rear valance, and front lower louver deletes as well for pre-facelift "S"???...
*almost forgot!,
Does the kit have the chrome under the side lower door covered????
I'm not affiliated with Nikola Pro but I have installed this kit on a Pre-fresh Model S recently. I can give some first-hand input on the kit that may answer your questions.
If you select pre-fresh or nosecone during checkout you will get the parts for the nosecone, obviously. In my case it shipped separate from the kit so, unless this has changed, don't be caught off guard by that part of the kit not showing up at the same time. They do include the front lower louver (I assume you mean next to the fog/driving lights, right?) although this is one of the more finicky pieces of the install IMO. They don't quite align with the rear fully (which you don't really see unless you're looking for IMO) while still giving you the right angles and amount on the front. Kind of hard to explain but I found that if I cheated the piece forward of the rear edge slightly and then did some minor stretching I could fully cover this piece from left to right on the front and get it to wrap over and cover the front of the louver completely which is the most important part. It's not the end of the world but I feel that maybe these pieces could use a little more attention and slight tweaking to be perfect.
Sadly, the kit does not include a piece to cover the lower rear valance on the pre-fresh cars currently. This was a bit of a surprise to me when I thought I was finished with the install but there was no pieces for that part on the car. I thought maybe I just didn't receive them but was told by Nikola Pro that this wasn't included but it might be in the future. IMO this is a fairly glaring omission and I hope it's something that gets added sooner than later as the rest of the car looks pretty amazing but that bit stands out even more once the rest of the car is done. I really didn't expect anything to be left chrome when I bought a chrome delete kit nor had I even considered it. it just seems like if you were doing a delete kit that you would want ALL of the chrome deleted so I'm not sure why any one piece would be left chrome.
You also asked about the lower side chrome bit under the doors which is another point of contention for me. A piece is included that fully covers this with the doors closed. So 99% of the time it looks great. Whenever you open the doors though you're greeted with a large chrome strip on top as the piece included with the kit doesn't wrap up high enough to fully cover this. It may be difficult to do in one strip so maybe three strips (two separate ones for the top to easily split the rear door hinge area) would be ideal but either way I'm not happy with the reminder that the chrome isn't completely deleted every time I open a car door. It just looks tacky IMO and I have to wonder what others think who open the door to check out the inside of my fancy car and see some out-of-place chrome bit with a vinyl edge that runs a little wavy across the length.
It seems like Nikola Pro is receptive to constructive feedback so I'm hopeful that the kit is improved using this information soon as it's a great DIY alternative and produces wonderful end-results save for these few nit picks I've mentioned.
Thanks for the IN -depth response! i will be following allong as I just ordered one for my S as well! you point out some good things to pay attention too.
On a side note in your signature you list your cars as apollo 1, 2 3, are those in order?
if so, why did you go backwards from a 2016 90d to a p85d?
