Are you snarking or suggest the front looks like a Frunkster? If so photo a CCS charging cable to the drivers side front of that pix. As well some cute eyes of a happy face..

Cool. Bold, clear and new! or one could have the HP & Torque for a more Alpha message, to balance the Cutie stigma... Myself would go with happy faces.... Or how about the Yin Yang symbol, or the EMC=PiRSq. Now that could be cool.

I tinted my light bar and headlights and I like it but it's not for everyone.

Looks great, man!

I like it. Looks great. I just don't like putting tint of any kind over headlights because I really value every bit of light I can get on the road.
I’m with you on that. I used to put headlight covers on and tint lights but I’m older and can use every lumen of light I can get at night now. Haha!

Fair question. Certainly the tall, elongated headlights that look like Betty Boop eyes. Also the flat painted surface where there is normally a grill which has about 50% of Rivian owners applying PPF to keep it looking decent even with only pavement pounding expeditions. Mine is off pavement as much or more than on and the front is a disaster. The light bar isn’t terrible but I could do without it. Painted grills/fronts have always been for grocery getters. Mine goes on hunting leases, beaches, mud bogs, etc. Anywhere I’d take a RAZR I take the truck. It doesn’t look like it belongs where it’s able to go. Hope that helps.
I’d love to see something that makes the headlights look like stacked circles instead of the massive ovals

Are you familiar with the drummer for Led Zepplien, John Bonhams logo? That is 3 circles overlapping. I think it's called Zozo's

I like that idea, I think it would help. Should be able to do it with a laminate...?

The thing with brush guards is they often do much more harm than good in an accident. Instead of just replacing the bumper, the whole front fascia gets smashed; headlights and all. That's going to cost a fortune with all the drive sensors in that front clip.

I think it's akin to step rails vs rock sliders.

A winch will require an isolated big 12v battery in addition to the motorcycle battery supplied.

Dancing bears?

Downside is the constant questions of what dancing bears mean. Like mentioning I’m changing the names of the dogs. First one will now be “Vicious”. Second one will be “Sid”. The blank stares get old.

I would like the ability to change the stadium light into a red orb bouncing back and forth. And replace the lock sound with a monotone voice stating “By your command“.

Love the tinted or black look on the darker Rivian's. Don't love it on the light colored cars. On darker cars, it hides the design characteristics so those that don't like it, don't see it as much. On lighter colored trucks, it just makes these design elements stand out even more. This one photo's above, looks GREAT.

Still hoping someone can photoshop some black into the center area within the molded lines between the headlights and below the lightbar. Preferably on a lighter colored truck (white). Curious how that would look? Hopefully someone experience with photoshop can put something together with relative ease in a few minutes?? Please. Thank you.

Red can not be used on vehicle front , but the sounds could be Fench lady voices...
