2.25 conversion, interior upgrade, and repaint

[ipdamages]

it has taken longer than i anticipated and wanted (especially because i so vastly prefer an EV to an ICE), but i have now gotten my upgraded and converted 2.25 back. i had a lot done, and getting it "just right" takes a long time and an unwillingness to tolerate "pretty good." but fortunately, elie ad his team at al & ed's (link: West Hollywood ) had the necessary passionfor]]] for excellence, and i'm very happy with the outcome. while the yellow may not suit many, it is exacty what i wanted. what was done: 2.5 front end, 2.5 rear diffuser, new decals and badges, all new interior in black and yellow, double DIN with excellent pioneer unit, CF ducts/sills/rear spoiler/door pulls/binnacle/stereo trim, yellow paint, yellow calipers. thanks to elie and his team and to tesla LA for all their help in getting the parts lined up. the only part that i may still add is possibly a CF front bumper edge.

all the before and after pics are here:

Looks like they did an awesome job there. The black logos, and the custom T emblem contrast nicely against the yellow.

Wow, they did an amazing job with your car. I love the yellow stitching (throughout) and the carbon fiber door sills.

Is there a Tesla logo on the driver's side front fender as well? Or is it just on the passenger side?

The logo is on both sides. Tesla does it the same way. When I first saw a car with the logo there I started to drool and knew I'd want to do that one day.

Wow, awesome ! What a good job and excellent choice of colour and materials. The solution oft the dash, double din and vents is perfect, much better than the 2.5 with the "half-moon" vents sitting just on top of the double din. Now the roadster really looks like a 100k plus supersport. (maybe now it's a 200k car..; ))

Congrats again !

For the record Tesla did not know that this was even feasible until Al & Ed's came up with this first, Elon looked at Franz as if to say, "I want that" and within 6 months the 2.5 interior was "born" at Tesla:

Thanks for letting me know. Al & Ed's did a excellent job on that conversion, I hope you enjoy your beautiful Tesla!
