@Videofrank your bumper painted already. This guy is gonna paint mine for 250. Plus he told 150 to install. Saw his paint work and it’s pretty good. Keep you posted. If he does a good job I’ll keep you posted if you don’t knock it our by then

Saw this bumper in the parts list. Might be worth it (if you have pearl white) since it has PPF already.

To all my east coast brothers, this weekend the weather is supposed to get warm for two days! I'm going to finally install my bumper.

Yeah man. Almost ready too. Dropped my bumper off and saw it today. Had to get some repairs on it but it’ll be done soon. Waiting on my gap filler but usps has been behind lately. Was suppose to be here already, But the current situation has everything messed up. Hopefully mt kisco is open tomorrow and I can pick up my ankle catcher. So I should have it done in the next week or so.

You could have just bought the OEM clips at Tesla since you were there and just returned the ones from Amazon when they arrived. Actually doesn't matter since you are still missing the gap filler. Carry on.

Lol. I started to, but they suppose to be here Saturday. We’ll see. @Videofrank what day you plan on doing this. Saturday maybe. Be glad to help out if you need hand.

@Videofrank hopefully this goes smooth. You have louvers so no real trimming except the battery terminal and homelink.

I'm planning on Saturday and Sunday. Might not need both days but I'm going to take my time. What the hell else am I going to do?
Under ANY other circumstance I would totally take you up on your offer. We could've even done yours. Unfortunately, probably not a good idea with all this Corona sh*t going on.

Yeah you right there. Best of luck. Hang some pics or video of your process. Any modifications you have to do. Although I don’t think you’ll encounter nothing we haven’t gon over here on tmc. Can’t wait to see the final result.

Just waiting for my ankle catcher now. Bumper and sensors all painted. Wish I would have ordered it when I ordered the rest of my parts.

My time has come to stop posting on here. I get put on probation for trying to stick up for sellers who deal with constant bashing from members who never intend to buy.
I can’t be part of a forum who doesn’t punish trolls but instead members like myself who only post on here to help other owners. I wish you all luck in your conversions but this forum has a serious problem with allowing members degrade and bash members who post their cars for sale etc. I only come on here to help others and to try to keep sellers from being discouraged from the same members that mock and clown them for their postings based on the price they list their car for. I may start my own smaller forum strictly for members who want to help one another rather than make members feel stupid or unappreciated. This forum really has a serious problem and I don’t see it being resolved anytime soon. Some of you have my number feel free to call if you need help but I will no longer participate in a forum that is biased and unethical in the way they enforce their policies
Also just FYI your old parts surprisingly tend to cost more than the new ones. The ankle catcher is around $75-$100, brackets $50-$75, louvers sell for around $200/each on eBay and other parts like your bumper, nosecone can all vary based an quality and condition. The skid plate I think they call it should get you around $100-$150 on eBay maybe more plus the place guard should also get you around $50-$100 as it costs $150 I believe.
So you can easily recoup a lot of the money spent selling your old parts. Just FYI
