Tesla S x Unplugged Performance

Unplugged Performance just launched a full body kit for the Model S. Check it out here: http://unpluggedperformance.com/

Thoughts? What do you think?
It's good to see the secondary market expanding...

Nice to see some companies stepping up to offer aftermarket support.

However, the body kit did not fix the ugly stick looks the Model S has if that's what you mean. It looks like a Koi fish with that front end...

Considering aero performance of EVs is critical to range performance, I'm not sure I'd mess with the aerodynamics of the S. Adding a few pounds of drag could really reduce range. The front-end re-do looked good though.

Looks good, except for the black filling in the "radiator" hole. I know, this comes from Tesla and probably is necessary to reduce drag, but it's ugly.

+infinity. These cars are designed to be as aerodynamic as possible to allow for further range per charge. I would not modify even the rims or tires on a tesla.
