LA Silver R1T w/ XPEL Stealth PPF Wrap

[Delusions of Adequacy]

Picked it up this morning after a long five days at Denver Auto Shield getting the following done:
Xpel Prime XR+ window tint
Xpel Ultimate+ full body stealth coverage
Gyeon Ceramic coating

I think the matte finish on the silver is a little more subtle but still provides a little uniqueness.
In the shop:

Out in the Sun

A bit of in-between sun/clouds at Redrocks

Some close-ups of the metal flake - the PPF seems to bring it out a little more in full sun.

Starts to look like stainless steel

Looks great! 5 days away had to be brutal though. Worth it in the end.

Can I ask the cost?

You should photograph it in front of Coors in Golden—the Frozen Silver Bullet! Really cool!

Maybe do a couple in the casa Bonita parking lot. I like the most-denver-ever R1T theme.

I was anticipating seeing another loathsome matte wrap on an otherwise beautiful car. But I gotta say – that looks fantastic.

You aren't kidding on being away from the truck - having never even ridden in an EV until my test drive a couple weeks before I took delivery to not wanting to drive anything else now. This thing is amazing!

On the cost question...I wish we lived in Atlanta...as you know Colorado is expensive. I've used this shop a lot over the last 5 or 6 years with great results. Not the cheapest for sure. I dealt with the owner on this but in talking with the shop manager, Todd, it sounds like they have or are working out a deal with the "Rocky Mountain Rivian Club" (Hope that's the correct name as I'm not familiar with the club myself but they did mention they did a Launch Green Stealth PPF for the gentleman running the club) and pricing for anyone belonging to the club is @ $7,500 for the full coverage.

For me it was worth it, definitely not as dramatic of a change as the LG in matte (which I love) but as someone who doesn't like stock items on my cars or bikes it turned out as expected. No regrets.

Very sharp. You gonna keep the sides debadged? I'm headed that way.

Cheers and congrats.

Ok I’ve been kind of meh on all the PPF talk but this look is very very cool. Makes it look like it’s cut out of a solid block of metal.

But I still want to see some dirt and pinstripes on it!

Good looking!

I am. Unless I can end up buying another of the R1T rear tailgate badge. I think those would look good on the doors ??

My silver R1T is getting the same thing right now! On day 3 of 8. Glad you posted theses. Looks great!! I was worried, but this makes me confident in my choice. Was just wanting some protection and a little more subtly silver. Congrats on your truck!

Looks great!

It reminds me of stainless steel with a coating to prevent fingerprints. My fridge looks a lot like that.
