Pretty stoked about how my Midnight R1S looks blacked out and ceramic coated. I’ll be the first to get the side emblems as I’ve already got the old ones removed. Even my 65 year old mom said she likes it blacked out. Tint guy said this is how emblems should have came from the factory. Ha.

*Exactly* the look I am going for and have been waiting for the satin black emblems to schedule - if you recall what tints did you go with? I plan to do a stealth wrap but otherwise exact same deal

There's already options out there for vinyl, and full logo covers/shells. The covers are, in my opinion, substandard; an inevitability of their design is that they soften all the edges of the emblem, so they just end up looking a bit off. Vinyl is pretty easy of course, but especially on the door logos, won't last long - that's a well-abused spot on the R1's, and as soon as anything gets under the vinyl, it's compromised.
How about thin but hard plastic yellow accents that snap over the existing emblems?

Just installed the R1T emblems. They are fantastic. Much better than the vinyl stickers (which still serve a purpose as a cost-effective, but much less durable option):

That might be the cleanest truck I've ever seen in my life 😎

My black R1S has 35% all around. Didn’t want to cross TX legal limit and don’t like drastic difference between front and rear. Also put light smoke on all the lights, including side mirror turn signals.

It's probably one of these then :) We have most of the black & yellow's packed, the all-blacks arrived late yesterday, so QA & packing those is today's job.

Same here! I didnt want to use a heat gun on the film. The two pillar ones went a lot smoother with the heat gun though.

Happy to hear that the side emblems are easier to replace. I will be doing those this evening. Delivery is scheduled for today.

Just installed the R1S emblems and tow hook covers. Again, much better than the vinyl stickers - although I left my C-pillar compasses with yellow vinyl. The blacked out compasses from a direct angle on the C-pillars look like a blob of black to me. I like the yellow compasses better. From the hood viewing angle, one sees more of the yellow accent. LOVE the yellow accent on the large RIVIAN lift gate letters! Great touch.

Anyway, these are great products! Thanks @AO_Pete!

You mentioned in the R1S thread that you would make the rear emblem for the R1T available with the yellow sides separately. I see those full kits are in stock now. Any chance for the rear emblems to be listed soon? I am holding off installing my kit until I get that version of the emblem.
