For those installing PPF on Rivian

[adrock1212]

$6500. Not cheap. This includes PPF plus the ceramic that is pre applied by Xpel.

Which thickness of XPel are you using btw? Speaking with installers this week as my delivery is coming soon!

The specs for Ultimate Fusion say its 7.5 mil.
It looks like it may be an extra 3 mil if a release liner was used.

I pick up mine tomorrow morning (Friday) from full front PPF and I'll see how they handled badges for sure in a few hours....They've done multiple cars for me (all with badge removal)....did 8 mil on the frontal area and satin on the silver front under piece skid plate looking piece.......

Did they remove and were they able to reuse?

100% removal and reuse, no problem.

Seattle area PPF installers are asking approx 7500-8500 for XPEL and STEK films on a full R1T and R1S. The STEK has to be cut while the XPEL have patterns. Stek is hydrophobic and seems to be popular with the rennlist folks.

Oddly, multiple shops (all 3 I called) told me don’t bother with the ceramic especially since I’m applying the PPF on a new car.

Sounds right and can even go to 10K. I don't know why they would tell you not to get ceramic coating on top of the ppf. We would advise it only if the client is always handwashing their vehicle and no drive through car washes or heavy chemical cleaners. Makes cleaning far easier and the vehicles generally stays cleaner as well. Xpel's hydrophobic film is ULTIMATE FUSION or can be added to any vehicle with their FUSION PLUS ceramic coating.

Factory emblems can be reused, with new two way tape, without issues although most all clients thus far have opted to not put them back on.
