Nose cone should be painted

[MikeK]

I have a white car, and I love the black nosecone. I like the contrast between the two.

I've seen some photos of people who had various wraps done where they matched the nosecone to the body color, and in every case I think the black nose would look better.

RNG: Why not do a lower-than-standard mount of the front plate as a number of other forum members have done. I think it ends up looking pretty good.

@RNG
I really like #1, especially with the white/black contrast. What would you do with other colors? #2 - Not for me but to each his own.

Actually these would be added on chrome pieces cut from the Tesla logo piece at the top of the nose cone. So they would go with any color. Just cut them out and use double stick tape. Removable with no damage.

Regarding putting the list plate lower, I will consider it, but it now has the holes in the nose cone for this application.

Thanks,

RNG

Oh, you saw the leaked memo, but you didn't mention the factory-installed shotgun rack!

RNG, I personally like the top of your two photoshop ideas. I think it is rather classy, like a tuxedo. I would expect that you will need to touch up every year or two.

RNG, don't tell the cops, but I live in Colorado and I just don't use the front license plate. I guess if I get a ticket I might reconsider.

RNG - 1st treatment looks great. 2nd one, not so great and my mind shudders at what would be possible with that approach. Imaging the mud flap babe here. yucko.

Isn't the nosecone painted already, just black?

Personally, I don't like you changing the color of my car... it is supposed to be red.

Poor Doug_G

I quite like my nose job. Distinctive yet subtle:

Agree on both points.

Nosecone is definitely an opportunity for some enhanced mods, got some things in the works...
