Two requirement (both imp):
~ No need to drill holes (hate them, and hate stock mount, which needs drilling. Im getting Rivian to replace underlying plastic bumper piece to undo drilling)
~ Should NOT show up in any camera views (360, and front).

What are my options?

I have the BuiltRight too. Top quality. No obstructions. Highly recommend.

I originally had the SnapPlate, which was nice, but I always felt it was a little bulky. Then Rivian updated the front camera to have a wider view, and the SnapPlate was literally in the camera view.

I decided to update to the BuiltRight holder and I much prefer it. The trickiest part is getting the plate centered safely between the two sensors. I thought I had it centered correctly, tested it in the garage with no "pings." Then I drove across town the next day and there was a constant "obstruction." I wasn't able to really fix it until I got home, so I recommend carrying around the hex wrenches for a day or two until you've really got it set in the right place.

Haven't installed mine. About half the Rivians I've seen in the area don't have front plates

I just left the front plate in the frunk. I’ve had a few cars in the past without front plates here in TX and I have never been pulled over or ticketed for it. And if it does happen, I’ll just pay the ticket and still keep the front plate in the frunk.
