I wonder if Rivian will do a dark out version of the crossbar now that there is a dark out package. With no other silver, the crossbars might look out of place. I’d be torn on getting a set even though I already have some and it’ll be purely for aesthetics

I was thinking about keeping my crossbars for my next R1T but that one will likely have dark-out emblems. Rivian might get another sale out of me if they offer matching cross-bars.

If you can figure out how to strip the bars down to just the extruded AL, you can take them to a local anodizer. I'd hesitate to use powder coating since changes the dimensions a little (thickness of coating). Cerakoting is a possibility since it's air brushed on and then cured in oven. Very durable finish also. Typically used on firearms.
