To each their own, but I don't want to DIY anything on my 90000$ truck :D

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.
All done! PPF on front clip, ceramic throughout. Tinted windshield and front 2 windows. They said they have matte film and all sorts of creative art styles. I highly recommend them!

If anyone is looking for a shop I would recommend Bespoke Tint and PPF in Bellevue. It used to be a midnight tint but they changed the name. The owner has done 3 cars for me and is an absolute rockstar when it comes to tint and PPF. His prices aren't cheap but his work is top notch.

Still waiting *R1S people have the patience of saints*

That being said - a lot of people I know who have done those "T" cars have been going to Redmond and using Metropolitan Detail. They list using Stek not XPEL which I know some people will look for, I'm not sure if both are available.

I'm scheduled with APC at the end of the month. They've been super responsive so far, and have a free loaner. I'll try to remember to share the results as well. They also use STEK as well as another non-Expel brand.

I talked to Parker Detailing https://www.parkersdetailingcollc.com/ in Gig Harbor about what they would charge to matte wrap an R1S. He estimated about $9k and about 1 week. Also said the lead time for a big project like this would be about 4-6 weeks. So if you watched the rivian stories interview where you schedule an appt and then delay it every month or so, that's also what Parker suggested to do. Parker uses STEK films BTW. Looks like a fairly new detailing shop also, I'm guessing about 6 months of doing PPF films based on social media.

I’ve been talking to Clear Bra Seattle (actually in Redmond) about doing a xpel stealth on my R1T. He’s quoting 7900 + 500 for ceramic. Been to shop a few times. Like what I am seeing and his philosophy. Does a lot of teslas. If you talk to him tell him NorskBoy sent you.

I'll probably do that later this week. I'm also going to get in touch with California Tint in Silverdale since that's closer to where I live.

California Tint in Silverdale said about $6000 for a full matte wrap of the R1S, although they just left a message and I haven't called back to confirm. Kimball was about $9k

Kimball was definitely the higher end of quotes, but worth every penny. I had a booboo recently and they're getting me all fixed up again.

Got my R1T on Thursday dropped it of today (I am going to miss this truck). At Seattle clear bra for an Xpel stealth full ppf, full window tint and ceramic coating on truck and wheels. Here is the video of the truck pre wash at the drop off.

how would you rank the work? Rivian is offering XPEL stealth pricing for $4500 so wondering if any of these shops will price match them?
