Which FL license plate is that? Looks Black with white letters, and if it is, I need it. Car looks GREAT!
Be careful with Vossens. I have the the HF3 and they bend EASILY. You hit a few potholes and suddenly your smooth ride is a permanent bumpy one. If I were you I would buy 100% forged wheels. “Hybrid forged” doesn’t mean much.
It’s by far the best kit for the Model S, the only one that’s better is UP’s S-Apex kit. Which is so expensive it’s comical. What I wanted to do was use the PD front bumper with the S-Apex kit since the PD front bumper is way better than the Oem Tesla facelift (or PlaidS) Bumper. If the PD front bumper was added to the S-Apex kit it would be the best looking Tesla by far. I’ve actually had a few S’s with the PD full kit.
If you’re interested in buying the rear bumper and side skirts from this kit lmk. I have a brand new rear bumper, brand new side skirts, as well as the widebody flares/arches I can sell. Just message me.
If the flares/arches are molded into the car it looks a 100X better as well.

I’ve installed one on a nose cone S as well. What kind of issues did you have? One of the main reasons it has a hard time fitting properly on the Prefacelift S is because the support beam sticks out just slightly further on the Prefacelift S compared to the one on the facelift S. So it keeps it from fitting as flush as it should. Something that is not an issue when doing the Oem facelift front bumper conversion. It has more room on the oem front bumper so doesn’t effect the fitment when doing the conversion. You should not have had any issues with fitment if installed on a facelift S though. But it looks like your S is a Prefacelift with just a facelift rear bumper and side skirts.

JC Carbon diffuser on, with some modifications.. Fitment wasn't great but got it to work. Also got my winters on with BMW 356 wheels that I happened to also run on my old 5 series

Quick question. How did you achieve this 2 tone look? Did you paint the entire bumper white and then paint the the middle portion and foglight area black? Or did you paint the entire bumper white and use black vinyl to cover those areas?
Since I can’t figure out to send pictures on direct messages this is how I how his S was a Prefacelift
It doesn’t reach all the way cause of the front support beam is thicker on a Prefacelift compared to a Facelift
Yes and yes… if painting you would mask off the areas you want one color. So you would paint the black areas first then cover them and paint the rest white. Or you could just use vinyl to do it as well. All personal preface.
Also you will notice on the prior design bumper above the parking sensors aren’t flush. This is because the bumper is thicker so you either need to not use retainers or use adhesive and not double sided tape to mount them in order to make the flush.
Just some things to know when you get yours and have your guy install them. But definitely have him test fit before painting and installing.
Prior Design body kits are notorious for needing fabrication. Especially the side skirts more than anything else on this specific kit and most likely the rear spoiler
Sorry should have posted a picture what I was referring to. Here’s what I’m talking about.
When you buy a tesla bumper they come with retainers already mounted with adhesive and some with double sided tape (3M). But if you buy new retainers from Tesla they come with the 3M already attached so it would happen even with the facelift bumper somewhat cause 3M tape is too thick. It’s the front sensors that are the issue, and those are glued on like this compared to the side retainers.
If you have not bought your kit already I have a brand new widebody one. It will take probably 6 months to get one once you order it.

My car is an August 2016 (therefore 2016.5) build with the refresh bumper when I purchased it back in 2021 directly from Tesla. Could it be that production had that support beam during the refresh? Thanks for zooming the flaws of this bumper and perhaps I should have a professional shop install it. Anything aftermarket is never smooth as I know during my BMW days.
