Light Bar Decal questions for owners

Anyone have this installed? My wife loves it but has two questions:

1. It looks like the Rivian Bar is blackout and would reduce headlamp visibility at night. To what degree though?

2. Her S is El Cap Granite and she wants the rear and front to me more “medium smoke” vs blackout to match better with the body color. Does anyone know if a vendor provides this in a lighter shade?

TIA!

The light bar doesn't really illuminate the road much at night your actual projection headlights are what's doing the heavy lifting so I don't really even know if you'd notice at night. I don't have it installed though so I cannot be 100% sure.

There is a Q&A with Jeff Hammoud, chief designer, somewhere online. He hates these things.

I'm always torn on these sorts of mods. On the one hand smoked out light bars do look better on certain colors like my Red Canyon. On the other I've always hated modifications that make the operation of the vehicle worse.

Tinting out lights which are designed to illuminate things for safety at night strikes me as a bad idea. Ultimately its a matter of taste but done well on the right color smoked lights can enhance the daytime appearance. As far as the logo ones I would have to agree with you that they are tacky.

I did a very mild smoke similar to what the twraps 70%. Made little to no difference at night. I was extremely hesitant but the guy who did it offered a full refund if I didn't like it, so I went for it. I've also got a full matte (stealth?) wrap on it.

What kind of cleaning products are you using? You can't use normal products, right. I liked the colour. Nice.
