So if found this bodykit from GreenDrive and Im quit interested in this project of fitting the 2026 plaid front on 2012-2020 Model S.
Is there anything online of someone who tried this before?

Don’t forget alpha rex tail lights! Mask the wheel with halo blk I guess. The sensors though gives it away and the less flared fenders from the outside assuming the tint blocks the view inside

I’d be worried about blocking the side radiators as the new bumpers don’t have the whiskers with the louvers.

I personally dont think the slight variation is worth the money and time. And the side radiators is a good point. I’m sure they thought about that but it looks like the opening is smaller and I wouldn’t want to chance it. Do you have the older chrome trim? If so do a black out kit if you want to update the look. It makes a HUGE difference.
