What's the best Model S refresh front fascia option

Haha.... thanks some love while there are always plenty of haters. I’m not one to do unoriginal color schemes. Really I only do multiple color schemes as I like to accent areas to match he rims etc. You will love once I finish the next build. It will have a two-tone wrap the rims will be flush with the Revozport fender flares. I still have a widebody Prior Design Kit that I am waiting to install on a Raven S most likely. However I know most will disagree, but I’m not a huge fan of the widebody kit compared to just their Aerokit. After I finish that build I want to do something that I think would be the best kit combination ever done. The UP S Apex Kit with a Prior Design Bumper. Will see how that works out tho. Not grimy hopes up. I get have the chance of see Tudor’s Tesla which the Red exterior with Carbon Fiber always looks the best. Just add some wider and better rims and it’s the best hands down. Don’t get me wrong it’s still one of the best regardlessLove the custom Aston Martin grill!

Was just pondering that. Wondering if I should get dummy parking sensors or bumper plugs. Has anyone else crossed this bridge?

@jobiggs24 I’m In Poughkeepsie. I got a lot of people in Albany. When I’m ready for op I’ll definitely need your help. When you gonna do your facelift? Also do you have the refresh louvers or you trimming the bumper.

ASAP!! Lol waiting on all the parts now... hopefully we're blessed with some good weather soon. I'm planning on trimming the bumper. How about you? And I'm definitely down to help

Down to help you also. Just ordered the rest my parts. They should be in by next week. Gotta get my bumper painted. Ordered a blue bumper off ebay and they sent me gray. But I plan on trimming too. I ain’t lazy, saving 500 for a little extra trimming seems reasonable. Also, do you have the 12v quick connect wire?

Looks like we're in the exact same boat. Gotta get mine painted too. Hasn't even arrived yet. I did order the quick connect wire. It was actually a few bucks cheaper on Amazon than eBay. It'll be here tomorrow. Maybe we can get together and do these together.

Let me know when you take your bumper to get painted so I get mine done too. Got a shop that said they would paint and install for 600. But that was a while back. Besides it seems like it’s gonna be more fun if we do it. Plus I get to learn about my car.

Hadn't given any thought to that. I should. I suppose if it doesn't cost too much more I will...

My personal opinion. But makes the body look closer to the facelift version. I’ll have to stop by the shop and see how much to paint the bumper alone.

Yeah. Like the way @LUIS81807 car came out. Even looks like he painted the rear diffuser. Looks great. Not too much, nice and clean look to it. Don’t know if he still has the car, but I tried to hit him to find out that rim size. I got a set of 20 inch stance sc5 that I had on my bmw. They 5x120 so I think they should fit my ms.
You need to buy hub centric rings so it will fit the center bore correctly. The offset is probably perfect I have used rims from my BMW’s before and they fit perfect. You just need to make sure that they are larger than your Tesla’s center bore. If not than you must CNC machine them larger. BMW’s center bores range so you must check the exact year and model
