Here’s mine. Uses the provided Rivian front mounting plate. Does not block any of the sensors / cameras. And best of all, the mount only costs $12 for 2 :)

I did the same thing, bought the piece on Amazon, went to Ace to pick up a bolt and nut. I don't get my sensor blocked either.

Ace stuff:

The brainexploder one is holding up well after several months. However, there's one issue. The main mounting screw (8-32 x 1" machine screw) head was covered in rust and the nut below was starting to rust also. I replaced both parts today with stainless steel versions w/ a torx drive.

Police in my state stopped pulling people over for expired tags and plate issues because the politicians told them to stop. So, I'm not too worried about getting pulled over for missing a front plate. (Fun fact: Timmy McVeigh got pulled over after his bombing for not having valid tags.)

My cheap and cheerful license plate holder had been great. Had worked perfectly. But I liked the look of the built right license plate holder - metal and thinner than the one I had which was using the official rivian license plate mount. So I upgraded. Got to say it’s awesome! Has 4 mounting bolts vs 2 of my old one, and the license plate mount is metal, so completely solid and no movement. And just like my old one there is no blocking of the camera… https://builtrightind.com/products/license-plate-mount-rivian-r1t-r1s-2022

I did the same. DIY was great for what it was, but can't compete with the quality of the Built Right.

SnapPlate doesn't block the camera on mine. Not sure what that reference was to. Haven't had any issues.

Seems that every image shared of the overhead view shows what looks like a snow plow in front of the truck (the camera sees the very edge of the license frame and assumes it's the full width of the bumper rather than just being a few inches from the camera and only the width of a license plate. Can you show a screenshot of your overhead view?

Do you have either of the two most recent updates? Some had the issue after the update do the the increased camera coverage.

I'd love to see one with the quality of the BuiltRight mount but some facility for easy on-off, like a quickfist style clamp but with a locking ability. So far all of these are a hassle if you ever need to actually use the tow hooks.

Maybe that is bothersome to some...but it is obstructing about 1" from the front of the bumper which might translate to a foot or two on the ground.

How's the overhead 360 look?
