This is a little delayed. Thanks for everyone's comments. It's started to grow on me. I also went by the SC and took some comp pics. In addition to the stealth, they wrapped the piano black on the bumper with a stealth that had a slight texture (not sure the term for that).

Looks great! Were you happy with your decision to do the matte wrap in the end?

In the end, I love it. I've had several compliments and it's so easy to keep clean - no water spots. I guess it just took time to get over the shock of it not being what I 'thought' it would look like. Thanks all!

Beautiful 🎉. How’s the ride on the 22’s? I’m wondering if anyone can notice ride difference between 21’s & 22’s?

Have driven both, still has so much tire. 22's are still very smooth. The performance tires are worth getting, improved tire noise levels and handling.

The owner is a great guy, real skilled, high quality shop and very popular here. This is the 5th wrap he's done for me. He previewed it by taking a large piece, sprayed water on the hood and pressed the wrap to it and smoothed it out. He did the same with when I did the white. Of course, no need to preview the standard finish
Where did you get the ppf done in Denver?

Colorado Detail dot com. This is the 4th vehicle of mine that Steve (owner) has done for me. Not the cheapest but excellent quality and it shows.

Thank you. From the pictures, I really like what he did for the Rivian.

I thought about doing matte ppf on the yellow. We applied a sample piece and I didn't care for it. Looks good on the green. I powder coated the wheel satin black. I think that they look much better.

I saw a Maserati in my neighborhood yesterday wrapped in "marble" like this Range Rover. Some people have more money than brains...

Glad you took the comparison shots. I prefer the non matte wrap green. But I’m glad that it’s growing on you. If anything it looks a bit like LG 🙂
