I have this awesome bumper I spent 4000 from China and my car got totalled so now I got it sitting here. Want to sell it. I would keep and use but I'm gonna get the newer model s. This
I also have the old bumper I am selling. The dark blue one. It's all almost perfect except the one fog light is gone. Also I have a perfect dark blue hood. Maybe sell all of it for 1500?
I’ll be interested if anyone has used this. But i also know there will be custom drilling for all the sensors. I don’t see the sensor holes.Thanks for sharing this link... less than half the price of the competition. Has anyone used this part?
I used all the oem part from tesla , the sensor wire have to extented about 10 inch , the louver need to cut if you want to used the old part . Thats all.
Nobody yet? I actually like that it doesn't have holes drilled as I have a pre-parking sensors Model S
So you also installed a new hood. What year and trim is your model s? Did it just have one latch? How difficult was changing hoods as I have heard mixed opinions?
Yes UP will do it for about 1/2 the price of other shops. It’s also cuz they have done a ton of them and their directions apparently are not very detailed for most shops which take days to complete not including paint. If you’re close enough to make the trip I would def have them do it over any other shop. They typically charge $1,500 but usually will do it for less especially if you bring up the fact that they state it takes 3 hrs to install it (they can do it in as little as an hour and 30 minutes sometimes. Other shops will generally charge double or they mistakenly charge the same or less assuming it will only take 3 hrs but end up having the car for a few days. I didn’t think it was very difficult however I only installed for fitment and did not transfer the parts over which would’ve taken a few hrs at most. The problem is when you transfer the parts it will not fit as easy and you will need a partner to do it so you can avoid certain parts hitting the frame not allowing it to fit flush. I personally wouldn’t transfer the louvers cause I think a mesh grill cut out looks better and will cool the battery just as well as block rocks etc from hitting. The biggest issue is the gap which can be horrendous and various based on the manufacturer date. I also like the oem v-stripe compared to UP’s but they made theirs so that it is taller since the hood has a larger gap that their hardware covers. There are ways to remedy this if wanting to use the oem v-stripe especially if you want to have a chrome v-stripe. Overall their bumper looks great. My other gripe would be that you can’t really add a front splitter to it except for a maxton one which is why I chose to sell it cause it would have been higher than the side skirts.
