The car is still in the shop as they figure out how to accommodate a facelift hood on a nosecone car. The facelift hood has been mounted on my car, but there are several problems that have to be addressed.
So as I read through this entire thread I just become more and more convinced that by the time this is finished you will have replaced every single part in your car and just have a stock facelift car in the end
It seems like you started with the bumper and a few other facelift parts and soon realized that you need another facelift part to make those work, then a few days after that you need another facelift part to make the new facelift parts work.
Guess this is one way to get a new car
The most important thing I've learnt is to do it, but to do it only if my car is in a front end crash and all those parts need to be replaced anyway
Looks great! Any thoughts on painting the lower side skirts and rear bumper bottom to body color to match with the facelift cars?

When did this thread get mark as "vendor"? It gives the wrong impression, IMO.
I want to start by thanking you for all the hard work and posts you've been doing.
Sooooo... I was involved in a front end accident that damaged , nose cone, hood, front bumper and some parts behind the nosecone.
I decided to go with the changes to the front fascia like yourself on my 2013 Black P85.
My body shop ordered and received the parts (think I'm missing some minor parts) and will begin assembly.
Could you please post the inside of your frunk with hood open especially the latch area to see how it looks.
Also ... would your shop that made the custom latch pieces be willing to make some more and I'll pay for parts and shipping to Canada? That looks to be the biggest concern. And the fibreglass trim around the frunk.
If you want you can pm me and I can call you or the shop. Much appreciated
It was to close the gap but when I made the decision I didn't anticipate the complexity of it all. With the benefit of hindsight it may have been better to fabricate a modified TESLA BADGE 'T'-FRONT SUPPORT, which is the source of the gap, and stay with the original hood. It wouldn't look OEM but the difference would not have been noticed by most.
Agreed. This is exactly the route that the aftermarket vendors followed with a new T badge grill to bridge the gap between the original hood and facelift bumper. I really hope someone with a 3-D printer can produce the T-grill for the DIY project person - sounds like a great business opportunity.
We're looking into manufacturing such a part.

Hi @artsci,
How far have you come in the process to make the custom T trim?
I would really consider this but only if I can retain the hood, latch, drunk trims etc. Also, it would be reversible.
Unplugged have been uncooperative in terms of offering me a viable solution installed in the UK and they maintain the position that they fabricated all parts involved in their facelift upgrade. I simply don't believe it.
Cheers!
