Adding to a lot of other photos, but hopefully helpful to someone nonetheless.

• Full PPF
• Window trim chrome delete
• Debadged "R1S"
• Painted rear "R I V I A N" logo black

Debated wrapping (or painting) the lower trim pieces on the front and rear bumper body color (white), but elected not to as I figured it would get beat up quite easily.

Super happy. Like you all, the design of this truck just does it for me. ?

Looks great, I also have Glacier white but w 21” wheels. I plan to do chrome delete this summer (kit from abstract ocean) and have bought rim black out kit + black version of RIVIAN logos and the Compass emblem.

How did you paint the logo? May consider that versus installing a new set if easier. Wonder if same process can be done for the Compass emblems on front and sides too.

Also, what do you think about potentially blacking out the side view mirrors top covers? I’ve seen a few Range Rovers and like the distinction of everything above the midpoint being black (except in our case the C pillar is white).

Thanks.

I’d like to here how you went about painting the logo as well.

It was about $5,000 including tax and everything. Used XPEL.

PPF cost is always brutal, but we own the truck so decided to go for it. Have it on our other cars and it lasts forever. The “self healing” makes driving, but especially hand washing, way less stressful.

OP hasn’t responded but here’s Update for my case. I ended up using the AbstractOcean Kit (which by the way you have to Special order now), will post more pics soon in a thread w write up.

For painting the logos to blackout found this video which I considered but not sure how they keep the Plastidip from ripping off of logos. So instead I just removed the original emblems, logos and replaced with the AbstractOcean kit.

Beautiful mods! Now it's time to use the vehicle for what it was designed to do and get it DIRTY

Here’s some shots, of the changes I made. Didn’t get chance to wash, clean but it’s in natural habitat…

special Shout out to @AbstractOcean for amazing customer service and making this options available to us (Chrome delete, 21” wheel blackout & center caps, Handle bar Vinyls, Blackout Emblems and Badges w Yellow Accents). The mirrors I simply bought black version through EBay and cover sticks on top of white one. I like this look!
