A few transaction glitches and door fitment issues had me seriously debating if I should just flip the Rivian; I put off getting the PPF till I finally decided to keep it. Glad I did. Took it to the Rivian SLC Service Center to get the door fitment adjusted and they did a good job. I then had 4 Horsemen do a full body cover in Satin PPF. They suggested we black out the skid plates in gloss black and drop the badges -- both great choices. All the shiny parts were also covered, but in standard glossy PPF. Finally, the whole thing was given a ceramic coating. 4 Horsemen in Draper are fantastic. They are not the XPEL shop recommended by Rivian, but I'm certain there isn't any better. Never spent so much on after-market upgrades, but we're so happy.

That green looks amazing under the satin PPF. Great choices. Hope you enjoy many years with your cool electric truck.

I like the blacked out skid plates.

I like how clean it looks. It’s double stealth with satin PPF & no badges. The uninformed eye will be, “WTF is that?” While they think, “It’s bad @ss”!
Nice!

I love that you "chrome deleted" the non-chrome skid plates!

Beautiful truck.

Personally not a fan of de-badging. I don't think it looks as good, makes the lift gate look very empty, and I 110% want to advertise for Rivian and want people to know right away what I'm driving, for a bunch of reasons. Not knocking anyone else's choice, I just don't like it.

I'm torn on the satin/stealth wraps too. It looks good, but I can't decide if I like it over just base LG. Don't think I'm going to wrap mine, it will likely just get damaged offroading anyway, so might as well save the money for future paint corrections.

The Satin PPF looks amazing. I'm a fan of keeping the badges as well, but other than that looks incredible.

Nice!
The images are ok, but in person it's stellar.

I was really torn on the ppf vs just keeping it paint, but I've go so many Rocky Mountain Pin Stripes on the Tundra I just can't bring myself to drive it off-road in its brand new skin without something to protect. I wish there were some kind of plastic armor plates that I've seen for jeeps and tacomas, but those are magnetic and we can't use it on the aluminum-sided Rivian. The satin wrap with the ceramic coat in person is amazing. So glad I did it.
