Front Bumper Upper Grille for 2021–2025 Tesla Model X | 1617073-00-A (CFN Brand)

1. Aerodynamic Guidance: Follows Tesla’s factory aerodynamic engineering to direct airflow into the front-end core cooling area (for battery thermal management, brake cooling, and HVAC systems) while minimizing wind resistance—supporting the vehicle’s energy efficiency and high-speed driving stability.
2. Cooling & Component Protection: Acts as a precision barrier between the external environment and internal cooling hardware; it allows sufficient cooling airflow to pass through while blocking large debris (e.g., leaves, branches, stones) from entering the cooling cavity—avoiding radiator blockages, fan blade damage, or clogging of heat exchangers.
3. Visual Consistency: The grille’s grid pattern, spacing, and surface finish match the Model X’s original front bumper design exactly—eliminating visual gaps or texture mismatches common with generic aftermarket grilles, and preserving the vehicle’s premium, cohesive front-end appearance.

• Structural Strength: The ABS plastic has a tensile strength of ≥290MPa, resisting deformation from low-speed front scrapes (e.g., brushing against road obstacles) or long-term vibration; it also withstands extreme temperature fluctuations (-35°C to 90°C), making it suitable for snowy winters, coastal high-humidity areas, or high-temperature summers.
• Weather & Corrosion Resistance: Passes 720-hour salt spray tests (ASTM B117) to resist rust or degradation from road salt, coastal air, or rain; it also passes 500-hour ASTM G154 UV tests to prevent fading or discoloration—ensuring long-term consistency with the front bumper’s original appearance.
• Edge & Surface Durability: The grille’s edges are smooth (no burrs) to avoid scratching adjacent bumper components during installation; the matte finish resists minor scratches from small debris (e.g., kicked-up gravel) and maintains its tactile feel even after repeated car washes.

1. Open the frunk and use a trim tool to gently detach the front bumper’s upper inner trim panel (avoid damaging the plastic clips on the panel—apply even force to prevent breakage).
2. Locate the old front upper grille, remove 5 factory bolts (8mm socket) and 3 plastic snap clips that secure it to the front bumper’s upper frame.
3. If the grille is paired with front parking sensors or airflow sensors, disconnect the auxiliary wiring harness (note the wiring connection position to avoid misinstallation later).
4. Remove the old grille and clean the mounting surface (bumper upper frame) with a dry cloth—wipe away dust, debris, or residual adhesive to ensure a tight fit for the new grille.
5. Align the CFN front upper grille with the bumper’s upper air intake opening, ensuring the mounting holes and snap clip positions match exactly; snap the plastic clips into place first, then tighten the bolts to 5±0.3 Nm (per Tesla’s official torque specifications—over-tightening may damage the plastic frame).
6. Reconnect the auxiliary wiring harness (if applicable), reinstall the upper inner trim panel, and close the frunk—then stand in front of the vehicle to check that the grille is flush with the bumper, with no gaps, misalignment, or loose areas.
