I'm definitely interested too. I'm looking to do a Full PPF and potentially a ceramic coating on the car so I won't worry about leaning skis against it, or pin-striping it while offroad.

Also my old-ass seattle house is built in an era where cars were smaller so both cars will have to sit outside.

Joe and Shari are great, this is who I spoke of in the other thread. On the high end for quotes, but high quality as well. I'll post before and after shots in mid April.

Says something if they can be expensive AND in Gig Harbor...
Compared to the South Tacoma detailers...
I didn't look on the east side of the Sound because I'd rather spend more than be in Seattle after 3pm any day of the week.

If anyone gets any quotes, would you mind posting here? I'd like to do this as well and would be curious what shops are charging in the area, as well as how long they're quoting to get it done.

I'd love to take my R1T straight for protecting, but man would it be hard to be without it right after delivery for more than a few days :(

Did you ever hear back from your folks?

Nothing yet, I had asked a few folks and everyone is still unread ha. Hopefully in a few days.

Living vicariously through you guys because other financial responsibilities postponed my Rivian ownership and I gave up my reservation early last year. Excited for you to get your deliveries!

When I lived in Seattle I had all my vehicles tinted at the Bellevue location of Midnight Window Tint and was always pleased with the quality and results. Looks like this is now Bespoke Tint & PPF.. curious if the franchising model might not have worked out for them and they started their own shop. Would be worth a quote/inquiry.

Thanks! I was thinking of doing dirty2dreamy, but realized they only do detailing and ceramic. I may poke around on the regional tesla groups.

Just bring it to my drive way. I need one to practice on before my R1S!

Seriously, though. This does seem like a perfect DIY project —low materials cost, high skill/labor. I’ve been thinking about ordering some materials and trying some panels on one of my older cars.
