Finally got my wheels greyed out to complete the dark look (TWraps, Gun metal). These boards blend in perfectly and have held up great over the last couple months. Highly recommend!

Installed black running boards and a horn upgrade kit on this beautiful Rivian Blue R1S! The owner drove down from Canada just for us to do the install! Well maybe to visit friends and family too, but we all know the real reason ?

Thanks again George, you have a great looking Rivian!
Thank you Cory - My experience dealing with you has been nothing short of world class - thank you - the 12hr+ drive was well worth it and no one needs to know the real reason for the drive :)

Does anyone have any more pics of these installed with stainless finish? Really loving the look!
We just sent out a few more sets of the brushed satin stainless ones this week, so maybe a couple people will post a couple of pics after they receive them.

Thank you for the kind words GRC, it was a please to meet you as well. You hold the current record for longest distant traveled for an install!

Rivian R1T
Installed yesterday!

Took about 4 hours with a lunch break in between. First side took about 2 hours while I was being careful. Second side was finished within 45 minutes. The installation video was incredibly helpful and I took my time rewatching it so I didn’t miss anything. I chose to trim the plastic panels and they fit back on perfectly. Didn’t take any pictures of that.

The package came very secured and padded, and the running boards were in excellent condition. No scratches anywhere.

My fiance instantly loved them and I couldn’t be happier choosing these running boards over other brands. Great communication, packaging, and installation went way better than I expected!

Anybody that is on the fence about these running boards, get off. They are a work of art. Sure you can get cheaper ones but these are American made right here in Illinois. The packaging was fantastic the welds are nothing short of beautiful.
309 Customs in Moline, Illinois did a great "fine fit" installation.

I could not be happier with the way they turned out. I might just sleep next to them tonight:D.
Thank you for posting up some photos and giving your thoughts! Hopefully your sleeping bag kept you nice and warm next to your new Rivian running boards last night? Seriously, so happy to see that you love them. The brushed satin finish boards on your Limestone R1T looks excellent!!

I did a correction on my post because I didn't proof read good enough before posting. I meant to write that 309 customs in Moline did a great "fine fit" installation.

Can anyone with the R1S running boards comment on whether the angle of the leading edge by the front wheel is the same as the trailing edge by the rear wheel? In other words, do the R1S running boards appear symmetrical front to back if cut down the middle? Also, @RealWheelsEV can you comment on the previous posts about the boards hanging down lower than expected. Is there adjustability to have them sit "tighter" to the body of the vehicle? Pictures of the blue R1S show the boards a bit lower than expected. This is not necessarily a bad thing as there have been reports of issues with snow/ice clearance for some folks in the winter with other brands. Thx!
