We are planning for early October, but there are a lot of complicated logistics involved. As things get closer, we will be able to firm up the exact launch date.
Hi Tim. Is there anyway Rivian or expel could post on here or on Rivian’s site pictures of all the different colors of the trucks with the expel stealth wrapped on it?

It sounds like your installer either doesn’t understand how to order the Rivian templates or he is intentionally giving you bad info to push you away from the upcoming program into a more costly install.
Maybe... But they did give me a written quote honoring the Rivian pricing, and haven't pushed any upsells, yet. I did proactively ask about adding some additional coverage areas, which they quoted, but they didn't try to push me away from the Rivian stuff.

I only went with partial front, but Xpel used the Rivian patterns and can confirm that the hood emblem is not removed. it is a cutout that goes right to the edges of the indentation.
Can you post pictures of various colors of R1Ts with the stealth wrap applied? It would help us make the decision not only on stealth vs. partial, but also color choice at time of order finalization.

Hopefully the factory program is up and running by the time Ocean Coast R1T's start shipping out.

I've asked my team to gather photos they have of the different vehicles in Stealth. Will post what I have once they get them to me.

@Tim@XPEL do you guys do the work for Land Rover as well? Their wrapped Defenders look amazing.

I'm in the Ocean Coast waiting club, too, along with the Max Pack.

I might cancel my Camp Kitchen order and get this instead.

Thanks for the details and Q&A, Tim!

I am in the Oct to Dec timeframe. Finally a benefit to having to wait :)

Is there a list to be put on?

And yes, Stealth vs Glossy. Any benefit of one or the other or just visual preference?

Thanks again

You'll get us spoiled by great communication

Rivian is handling the order book, so they would have to answer the waiting list question. We don’t have visibility yet to the quantity of vehicles ordered compared with our capacity to produce.

Ultimate and Stealth have the exact same construction. The only difference is the texture, so just visual appearance.

Here is what I’ve been sent so far. Will post others as I receive them.

Thanks Tim!
Just to confirm, the stealth full body option done by a local dealer once an R1T is delivered WILL include wrapped edges for all panels that can support it without having to remove panels? This would include wrapping edges around doors, gear tunnel doors, hood, tailgate, etc.?

Also the full stealth option includes wrapping the front bumper and pillars in glossy PPF, to include wrapped edges (when possible)?

Lastly, we have seen some installers chime in different forums indicating that the Rivian/Xpel package is inferior to having the truck fully wrapped, that they will NOT wrap edges and that they were blindsided by this program, have you received feedback from them regarding these concerns? Thanks!

Thanks for this Tim.

I like the idea of Stealth but I think I would make the safe choice and do the whole body in Ultimate if available. Please let the team at Rivian know the full body gloss would be very popular.

I am in the R1S camp so I have lots of time for you guys to get the program going.
