My Matte PPF Midnight Black R1T 🏁

[DTown3011]

No ceramic, but regardless it definitely is easier to maintain than the original glossy black.

Absolutely - if you decide to put ceramic on top you'll be bulletproof!

I finally got a chance to take some pics today of my R1T. The truck is Midnight and I had it matte PPF's. I also had the headlights and taillights smoked; I wanted those to be lighter than they are, but I'm getting used to it. Light ceramic tint on the front windows too. I purposely left the mirrors glossy PPF to tie them to the roof and the gloss black 20" wheels the truck came with. I need to figure out how to do a light smoke on the mirror lights.

Then today I took the 20's off and put 21's on because I have 2 decently long trips coming up in the next month so I wanted the efficiency. I have there aero covers but I haven't decided if I'm going to put them on or not. I didn't want the bright polished edges on the 21's so I did the T-Wrap matte black wheel kit. I had previously done the Brainexploder decals on all of the badged in matte gray...I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those in the future, probably gloss black but I'm not sure yet.

Anyway, if anyone is wondering what a matte Midnight Rivian looks like (I know I'm far from the first to do so), here ya go!

Looks great!

Yeah, it really annoys my when windows are too dark. Tint shops always want darker, but I always go light.

Same. 30% or 35%. F1 Pinnacle. Way better than the somewhat cloudy 3M ceramic I always used to use…

Not much to add, but badass looking truck man.

@uthatch - I thought I saw your R1T driving south on the 1 in Malibu this past Saturday. If it was you, I was in the silver R1T headed north.

Nope, wasn’t me, I haven’t been to Malibu since I’ve picked up my truck.

Got mine done with Xpel Stealth. Definitely changes the look! Kept the A pillars in gloss ppf to give little accent.
Love the tinted lights.

Wow... that matte black is absolutely stunning. Thanks so much for sharing.

awesome.

curious; one year later - has the plastic trim gotten lighter or faded much?

Sorry, I don't know...I sold the truck in November.
