Fascia Refresh – New Front End, New Car

After De-Bubbled

I decided it was time to refresh my 2015 Model S by fixing the one part of the car I never truly loved – the bubble. Two after market companies have very nice looking refreshed fascias, but one was the clear winner for me. I opted to go for the slightly more aggressive design the keeps hints of the performance elements of the ‘P.’ Super happy with the outcome. The install work was done at SS Customs in Redwood City, who did an amazing job doing the detail work, install & paint matching.

Refreshed front end uses the existing lights (regular + fog), air intake, and even badge. I painted the interior gloss black, which I think matches the aggressive styling.
