Do they remove the Rivian letters on the back and sides before the wrap?

Typically.

 

[LoneStar]

i'd rather Stealth PPF over RIvian Blue for similar effect yet enjoying that fancy paint

 

[R1Sky Business]

Typically.

And then glue them back?

And then glue them back?

Yeah.

The hood ornament is mechanically fixed to the truck.

Yeah.

The hood ornament is mechanically fixed to the truck.

Brice, actually the hood ornament has two, non-retentive positioning pins/dimples that, contrary to initial thoughts, do not mechanically clip into place. It is affixed via adhesive, and the two dimple positioners are set at odd angles that match the depression in the metal hood to make sure that the top and bottom of the logo are not turned 90 degrees by the installers in the factory. Same thing applies to the R1S logo on C-pillar.

@opnwide Thanks for this info. Given you know these details, I have a question for you:

I'm going to attached an emblem/badge to the lower-right tailgate panel. What's a good adhesive to use?

Ideally, the adhesive is strong enough that the badge/emblem never falls off, but something I could remove if I wanted or needed to.

That's slightly above my paygrade for the forums, but I know you can easily find double-sided 3m adhesive tape on amazon if you search for emblem adhesive. When they remove emblems, they use dental floss behind to work off the emblem and a heat gun to soften the adhesive. I'd err less adhesive tape than more unless the badge is valuable to you.

I’d say that’s a $4-6k wrap depending on region.

The satin metallic wrap on my MachE was $4k. I never knew wraps were so spendy until I committed to wrapping my MachE.

So this was a stock Rivian Blue with a wrap?

Looks incredible!

I was wondering the same - it sounds like the wrap itself is a matte metallic blue color, so I doubt the truck is also Rivian Blue. That would have been a waste of $2.5k! My guess is that it's either GW or LAS.
