I was really hoping to have this done and the price seemed like it was worth it. Today as I asked my guide about it he said he was informed the sale has ended?

This was never mentioned as a sale, but more as an agreement, until Rivian started offering it directly from the factory. Hopefully the XPEL rep will chime in.I was really hoping to have this done and the price seemed like it was worth it. Today as I asked my guide about it he said he was informed the sale has ended?
It would be good to see photos of each color with the satin finish.@Tim@XPEL
Rivian plans to deliver our R1S in the next 4 weeks. We have opted for Limestone exterior color and would like to see pictures of limestone wraps that your team may have done. I have also submitted a request on your website for someone to contact me to discuss our install options.
That's unfortunate. I've seen firsthand a delivered vehicle with spots that were sanded and never re-polished. So in the light you could clearly see dull finish in the touched-up spot vs unblemished clear coat.Based on what many have reported PPF quality, price and integrity varies greatly with the company doing the application. "Misunderstandings" seem common. With that in mind, I'm not sure the application of PPF by XPEL, as described below, wouldn't be worth a shot. Especially the "partial".
I would be very interested to see detailed photos of anyone that has had a vehicle delivered with with the XPEL applied at the factory as described below.
Thanks!

From the initial post in this thread:
Q. Do the factory installations include paint correction and/or decontamination?
A. No. When the film is installed at the factory location, it is being applied on clean virgin paint that has never been outside in the elements. It is inspected first by Rivian in a light tunnel at the end of the production line, and then again by the installation team at our facility. If at either stage, a defect is found that would impact the installation in any way, the vehicle is sent back for this to be corrected before installation.
So *perhaps* XPEL personnel will catch this kind of problem and have Rivian fix it if the "at factory" application is selected.That's unfortunate. I've seen firsthand a delivered vehicle with spots that were sanded and never re-polished. So in the light you could clearly see dull finish in the touched-up spot vs unblemished clear coat.
Was anyone actually able do get this done through the program for the agreed cost?
You mind sharing pictures and the cost? Also was the ppf matte/satin/gloss?Had full ppf and ceramic coating done in Vegas/Matte blue
