I’m considering wrapping the silver trim on the top of the R1S. I would like to know good or bad experiences with various products that offer this option. Thanks

I tried the TWraps product. It looked good at a distance, but up close there was a bit of a grid look due to the glue. I also could not get the windshield area done correctly by myself. I ended up taking mine to a shop that did it with Xpel Black PPF and it looked good.

Sounds like you may not have removed the plastic film?

How much was that?

I used the Twraps. It does look good from a distance, but up close the color is a little more matte than the surrounding high gloss on the Rivian. I had my PPF installer install it when they were doing the PPF. He charged one hour of labor and said it went on easily and was good quality.

I followed the instructions closely. It was also could have just been me installing it by myself.

I'm curious about this comment about removing the plastic film. Is there a plastic film on the Rivian trim pieces that need to be removed before the vinyl installation?

There is a plastic film on the trim you purchase that gets removed. Search youtube for a few videos of the process.
