I've been enjoying this for a couple weeks now but it's really hard to get pictures to show the texture and color. But here's a few:

PPF wrap is by Kimball's in Gig Harbor - really happy with the work they did. They also tinted the front windows to match the back. Gloss black vinyl wrap the chrome strip and on the front and rear bumpers. The black top we did regular PPF and I really like the stealth/shiny contrast. I will probably get the black Rivian letters once they are back in stock. I have vinyl blackout for the rims that I'll apply one of these weekends.

When you wrap @cryogen97 with stealth, do you lose the underlying copper color that Canyon Red has?

The thing I liked about Canyon Red is the the underlying orangy-copper like sheen that it has when the light is hitting at angles less than 60 deg or so.

Absolutely cannot tell from the images and as the wrap suggests "stealth", probably not?

Looks so awesome!!! I ordered a roll of matte Hexis Bodyfence myself. I've vinyl wrapped a few cars and couldn't stomach paying 8-10k for an Xpel shop, though that would be nice and convenient! Xpel roll was like 4k alone. The rivian/Xpel partnership doesn't seem to exist either.

The hexis roll cost 1k from Metrorestyling. PPF looks way easier to install than vinyl wrap and I'll be able to wrap all the edges and not use pre-cuts. I'm guessing it will take me 3 days going slow. So that's equivalent to saving at least 2k per day. Maybe I'll moonlight as a PPF wrapper haha. The profit margin is real.

Just an FYI, Stealth is a registered trademark for XPEL.

What you have is a Matte, or Satin wrap. STEK refers to their material as Matte.

Yes, Matte/Satin PPFs do pull the luster out of Red Canyon. Albeit the color produced by Matte/Satin PPFs is still outstanding, I opted for a full gloss PPF to retain the uniqueness of glossy Red Canyon.

Looks terrific and I think the matte finish really compliments things.

Coincidentally, Red Canyon is the chosen color for the R1S we have reserved.
