Matte PPF Wrap on Limestone Rivian R1S

[Batman]

Here it is.
- Legend matte ppf (much cheaper than Xpel and it’s all about the installer and if he’ll be around after a yr or two to address any issues. PPF comes with 12 yr warranty, installer give lifetime warranty)
- Xpel XR Plus tint all the way around. 25% front, 15% all around including rear lift gate. (Was going to do roof but installer didn’t have right size in 70% so will get that done later
- chrome delete most everywhere (have to figure out rear gate lettering)
- chrome delete below the front bumper and rear bumper
- also my wheels came with 22” brights, I vinyled them gloss black
- Logo gloss black out, I did this myself via Brainexploder

Only thing left is the EV Sportline running boards I just received. Figuring out if I’m going to do that myself or find some.

After that I’m done spending $s on this depreciating asset ?

I was there twice this weekend at your installers shop to check out his work and saw you car before / partially done.

He had just finished the Taycan on Friday and then Escalade for the dealership and yours was right there next in line.

Bang for buck you can’t beat his prices. I’ve used him when he was mobile and came to your house back in 2015 / 2016.

Did you use the T-wraps kit for blackout?

it’s good to see him expanding and even talking about his wife opening up a shop up north.

Enjoy your BEAST!

let me know which shop you decide on for the running board

Yea he mentioned you at pick up.

Yes I purchased the Twrap kit for above door chrome delete. Was planning on doing it myself but figure I ask him and his price was decent so had him do it.

So for running boards, I asked Thom and he mentioned "Steele Shop" in Addison. I'm going to give them a ring. If its around 200-300 total then I'll get it done by them. If not I may try it myself. Some good install instructions and pics on this forum.

Got it, thanks. That’s a fair price for the running board if they will knock it out for you.

Are you happy with the blackout kit? Or would you have him re-do it in bulk wrap color change where he traces it by hand from a roll. Is the coverage look good?

He put extra materials on your stealth wrap in the template software to give you wrapped edges. Does the blackout kit from T-Wraps Do a good job with wrapping the edges as well?

If you gonna do it yourself, make sure to have a breaker bar to loosen the bolt before using the power tool.

Twrap overall is good. As look as your trim paneling is straight. I would've had him do it with his material if I hadn't already bought the Twrap one. So if you haven't purchased twrap, just have him do it with his material.

Thanks for the info.

I just called a shop locally and they will do the running boards for $195. I’ll send you their information.

EV sportline will install for $199.

So $200-$300 should be the price at most shops.

I can confirm that our chrome delete wraps around the edges ?

$195 to install is a good deal. I spent 3 hours installed it a month ago.

Looking good. Feel like it really brings out the blue. How much cheaper is it then Xpel?

I called three shops and the prices are

$125 , $195 and $250.

Did you diy yours?

 

[LL75]

Did you diy yours?

yes. i did. I did the 4 inch holes method.

 

[Batman]

yes. i did. I did the 4 inch holes method.

How long did it take? Did you take the below paneling off then cut the holes or left them on?

I left the panel on like it is and use the template to cut the holes. It took me 3 hours to do. That sucker is a heavy. You need another person to get the board on the bracket or you can use a bucket to level it if you don't have another hand. I would let the shop do it if it is $200 labor.
