One thing that has been bothering me is the "pink through the grill".

Straight through the front of the car, you can see the pink extruded polystyrene insulation surrounding the front batteries.

I took the front bumper and cover off and installed a piece of black scrap plastic by drywall screwing it right into the styrofoam.



I reinstalled the bumper and cover over the top of it and got the passenger side inner fender plastic back in place too.

The car now looks black from in front!



This last photo is a super-low angle. You can't see the cables under the car unless you are laying on the road.
