ucsbwsr,
Were you planning to install the newer headlights? Will they fit?
Nice topic.
P.S. Are you a ucsb grad?

Unfortunately I have not, I will report back if I do.Have you had a chance to inspect the new facelift bumper?
Wondering if the mounting tabs are similar to the classic style bumper.

I don't own a Model S, I just happen to build custom high-performance Model S HID headlamps. From what I gather the LED lamps can not be retrofitted due to some structural and possibly electrical changes.

Could you still paint the inside?
Can someone tell me approximately how much time a disassembly of the 2016 Tesla model S should take by a professional certified body shop? They are trying to charge me over $2,000 just to do an estimate to fix the damage from running into a wall at about 10 mph. They are saying it's because it took over 15 hours to disassemble, which sounds really wrong to me.
lol, it may take them 15 hours to disassemble, but a reasonably experienced body man would take about an hour, assuming he hasn't done a Tesla before.They are saying it's because it took over 15 hours to disassemble, which sounds really wrong to me.

Thanks... how would I combat their claims? Is there a Tesla guide which states time ranges for removing or adding parts?lol, it may take them 15 hours to disassemble, but a reasonably experienced body man would take about an hour, assuming he hasn't done a Tesla before.
Total bullshit. The first car I did using these instructions took about an hour to get the front bumper cover off. With practice, my guess is 30-45 mins tops.Can someone tell me approximately how much time a disassembly of the 2016 Tesla model S should take by a professional certified body shop?

@ucsbwsr Just wanted to say thanks for putting this info/tutorial together. Saved me a lot of time.
Glad it was helpful.Awesome guide man! This helped me remove the bumper within an hour...swap out my fog/cornering lights with new Gen 2's and clean out the large amounts of leaves and girt that had gotten caught inside the vents behind the bumper. Thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful.
Regarding the fogs, what is the difference between Gen 1 &2?
