R1S Quad: Yellow Silicone Hook Covers - Which One? ☝️

[sirna7]

I'm in the market for some accessories and looking into yellow Silicone Hook Covers.

Found several options, including one from Abstract Ocean, which is priced at double the cost of similar products on Amazon.

Does anyone have experience with both versions? Are they essentially the same, or is there a specific reason to go with the more expensive option?

• Abstract Ocean Silicone Hook Covers
• Amazon Option 1
• Amazon Option 2

Thanks!

I purchased option 1 in black and never looked back. ?

For what it's worth, the original design & idea is ours, the one on Amazon are clones from the usual no-name brands. Might be good, don't know,

Ok! Thanks for this, that makes more sense, and I agree—authentic is always better.

I have the yellow from AO and have been pretty happy with them. I get quite a few compliments on them and they have held up well and stay on.

A very minor critique but you can see the slits in them on the inside but I suppose there is no avoiding that. Also, the yellow get quite dirty. I probably should take them off and scrub them a bit more than I do.

What did you do with your lights? The yellow outline looks nice!

Actually, just lucky timing on the picture! I had my hazards on because i was running into our favorite donut shop near Wrigley. It does look cool though and picks up the yellow from the tow hooks nicely.

Thanks so much, everyone! I'm picking up my QUAD tomorrow and have decided to go with option 1.

Yellow seems like the obvious choice, but I'm also tempted to grab BLACK to switch things up for different occasions (like Halloween, maybe!)

I also have the AO yellow covers. They are a great company, and I love the look.

Take off when wash car

I can speak on this from experience. I run my truck through a carwash regularly and never had an issue on the first 20+ times. On a recent run-through, one of the covers came off and I did not notice. By the time I returned and asked if someone found it down the tunnel, it was MIA.

I bought another set from AO and applied some zip ties to them. I put them on the ends near the plastic trim, and then pushed them back into the gap. I've run through the wash a couple of times after adding the ties, and the covers haven't budged.

I used yellow zip ties, but they really don't match the covers. I will probably swap those ties for regular old black ones. Seems like they will blend better with the black plastic trim / dark air gap.

I got a yellow set from AO long ago. Great company and customer service. But after a week a kid stole one, so I just took the other one off and forgot about it for a while.

Later I joined the Amazon Vine program (basically they give you free stuff in exchange for reviewing it; you also have to report the value as income). Amazon Option 1 appeared on Vine one day, so I got a set of those. I can't see any difference between them and the AO one I still have. And now I have a spare one...

They are all a great match for the Rivian gen1 quad's "yellow" trim (which has a lot of orange in it).

another vote for option 1 from Amazon. I have a CY Rivian - the color isn't an exact match, but there's enough of a gap beneath the paint that no one notices. You can see one on them on my profile pic (I've since moved the license plate to the middle, so now am using both hook covers)
