Yeah bro. We were having trouble with @jobiggs24’s ankle catcher. We got it out tho. He Had a metal ankle catcher and couldn’t get it out from the top bolts. We stepped on it and broke it at the weld. Then took of the rest. It’s a tight space up there. Also wanna slide my hood forward. How far do you think it can move up? We were outside and it got dark so we had to finish up. Didn’t have time for adjustments. Needed a few tools so we had to hit Walmart twice and wrap my louvers so that took extra time. Probably should’ve started earlier since we were doing two cars but we got it done for the most part. Need to pull the bumper back down and extend the harness and fill two holes but that shouldn’t be too bad.wanna trim my badge a bit more.

There are "required" parts and then parts that make the conversion easier to do. I'll try to put one together if someone doesn't get to it first
I appreciate it. I would like for it to be as OEM as possible, but minor modifications are not out of my realm at all. I'm a former auto tech. I ordered the bumper cover already. Anyone know the price Tesla wants for the splash shield new? $300 used on ebay seems a bit extreme.
 
Did you reuse most of the old hardware? What new hardware such as nuts, bolts, clips did you need? I'm trying to avoid 10 trips to the hardware store with no front bumper as this is my only vehicle at the moment.

most of the screws you'll encounter will be T 25 and 10mm hex screws. if you want to be on the safe side you can pop out one of each and match the thread and buy extra at home depot but not totally necessary. I ordered a bumper retainer clips from amazon and I also bought some screws to hold the new T. if you need to extend the wiring like I did you can buy wire by the foot at your local home depot for about .25 a LF and either solder the wires or use crimp connectors.
