Got my truck back from a local Xpel detailer yesterday and tried to get some photos before the rain hit too hard. Had the following work done:
  • Xpel Rivian-OEM full front PPF
  • Xpel custom PPF on headlights, front light bar, upper tailgate, rocker panels, and door sills
  • One-step paint correction
  • Xpel Fusion ceramic coating entire vehicle including glass and wheel faces
  • De-badge large RIVIAN lettering on tailgate
  • Vinyl-wrap on front and rear lower bumper trim
I wanted the PPF and ceramic done for protection reasons, but the de-badge and vinyl wrap were strictly to satisfy my concepts of aesthetics. I'm sharing photos in case other owners are considering how these mods might look.

Installer was The Works Auto Center in Albany, NY.

The vinyl wrapped bumpers look great. Definitely going to do this when I get my truck.

Is the front bumper included in Rivian OEM front ppf?

It's not because it's not painted. What OP is talking about is matte black vinyl covering the silver bits on front and rear bumper

This is my first experience with PPF, so I don’t have a lot to compare to. Most of the edges are wrapped and overall I think that it looks great. The installer has a complimentary follow-up wash and inspection scheduled in 2 weeks and there is one corner wrap that I will ask them to improve. The installer was quite comfortable with the OEM package.

Here is a handy chart. The bottom bit is normally silver and OP wrapped it matte black.
Great chart to explain this - thanks! The protruding gloss black bumper is part of the OEM PPF package, but the silver trim piece underneath is what was vinyl wrapped.

I just had my Silver R1T done at The Works. Overall I thought they did a great job and were really professional with a fair price.

Have a few creases and bubbles that popped up but hoping they can take care of them at my 2 week.

Yours turned out great!
