I did this to break up the front end. Works on the lighter colored trucks. So far, polls of the "Rivian" community have been split about 55/60 to 40/45. Those not part of the "Rivian" community however, overwhelmingly prefer it nearly 80/20. I'm still on the fence myself. Was easy to add with vinyl and will be even easier to remove if that's what I choose to do. It does help distract from the headlights though, part of the reason I do like. Like many, love the truck from all angles but the front has never been my favorite.

Was more on the fence about the "RIVIAN" until I saw the flashing charging sequence at night. Looks really cool changing the four shades of green.

I like it. It brings it together.

Funny, I would never attack someone for stating an opinion. I didn't say Rivians are pieces of crap buy a Tesla. I hope one day to own Rivian. Some of you need to take a chill pill.
If you don’t like them, that’s fine. But also really not your place to say: “Rivian please change them.” As if your taste is what matters ultimately, versus everyone else’s. That’s why you’re getting strong responses back. Don’t play the victim

I truly believing that if Rivian came out with a round headlight similar to the Jeep Wrangler they would have pulled a lot more customers. Everyone I talk to love the truck except for the headlights. I feel the same. Rivian please change them. If you do I will sell my Tesla and buy a Rivian.
I’m curious why you decided to come here to say that in front of many people who love how Rivian front looks.

You mean your bubble...

My 70s dad doesn't get it either...I'm not surprised it doesn't fit the "retired" look.
Hey I’m retired and I rather like the stadium lights…. ?

I respect that but you also try to design a car that people want to buy. I am not saying a full copy of the Jeep. Just not the alien shaped lights. Also, I heard they build up snow on them
You say you respect it, but you don’t get it. Plenty of people bought and wanted it enough to wait for more than 2 years to get theirs. Many are still waiting and many more continue to sign up, pay the reservation fee, to wait their turn. There’s always the minority, like yourself, who mistake themselves for the majority just for drawing breath and having an opinion.

You literally came to a Rivian board....with nothing to do with the product, to complain about the looks and post the worst photo shopped picture of all time as a replacement.

Did you expect a kumbaya moment?
Look, I am not a car designer. I just changed the headlights quickly to what I thought looked better.

Good for you. Your literal first post here is to complain and provide an “I know more than you because of some people I’ve talked with” remark.

If you’re looking for immediate acceptance or acknowledgment of your opinion, you might not get it. Shocked!
What is this a cult ? I have to be "accepted" into the Rivian fan club?

No, you could have just said: “I wish the headlights were different for me to buy one.” That’s a perfectly fine opinion to share.

But you stepped over the line when you said “Rivian please change them.”

I have had cars that I did not like a certain features. I didn't know that Rivian owners love every aspect of their vehicle.

I said it correctly. I want Rivian to change their stupid headlights!

The more I look at this the more I like it. Not sure how to do the same on a darker color. Maybe a light colored vinyl to contrast?

I’m curious how you got the information that Rivian owners love every aspect of their vehicle.
