Rivian recommendations should reflect body style, off-road use, upright glass, rocker and bedside exposure, large wheel packages, family or cargo use, and existing accessories. The starting points below focus on practical protection, cabin comfort, appearance care, and easier maintenance.
Electric vehicle care
The R1T is an electric pickup used for commuting, outdoor travel, towing, and cargo, with upright glass and exposed rockers and bedsides. Expanded PPF, windshield protection film, ceramic tint, and ceramic coating address road and trail exposure.
Plan My R1T
Electric vehicle care
The R1S is a three-row electric SUV with upright glass, large body panels, and a family or adventure-focused cabin. Expanded PPF, windshield protection film, ceramic tint, and interior coating address front-end exposure, upright glass, cabin use, and easier exterior care.
Plan My R1S
Electric vehicle care
The R2 is a smaller electric SUV intended for daily and outdoor use, with upright glass and compact utility bodywork. PPF, windshield protection film, ceramic tint, and ceramic coating support road and trail protection, windshield care, cabin comfort, and routine maintenance.
Plan My R2XPEL paint protection film
Paint protection film creates a physical barrier over painted and suitable clear-coated surfaces to help reduce damage from road debris, minor abrasions, insects, staining, and regular driving exposure.
Rivian R1T and R1S models have broad front surfaces, painted fender areas, lower doors, rockers, wheel arches, and rear bodywork that may see commuting, family, towing, and off-road use. The R1T can also justify bedside and cargo-area edge protection, with coverage selected around accessories and adventure use.
Full hood, full fenders, front bumper, suitable headlights, and mirror caps.
Full-front coverage for regular driving and commuting.
Starting at$2,295 / $2,495Sedan/coupe / SUV/truck · standard gloss

| Zero Exposure | Full painted body coverage. | The broadest painted-surface coverage in this package range. | $6,995 sedan/coupe $7,995 SUV/truck |
These are standard starting prices. Model, trim, body complexity, film choice, existing film, paint condition, and custom coverage affect the quote.
Compare XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS, ULTIMATE FUSION, and STEALTH. Preserving a factory matte finish and converting gloss paint to satin require different coverage planning.
We use modified patterns, bulk installation, or custom techniques where appropriate. Edges, badges, access, and the condition of the existing finish are reviewed with the vehicle.
Follow the wash restrictions and film care instructions provided at pickup. Return for the complimentary three-week inspection required for continued workmanship coverage.
Tell us whether you drive an R1T or R1S, how it is used, the panels that concern you, and what accessories are installed. We will recommend coverage around road, trail, cargo, and ownership needs.
Window tint
Ceramic window tint can improve heat rejection and cabin comfort, reduce glare and UV exposure, and create a more balanced appearance.
Rivian electric trucks and SUVs combine large windshields, broad side glass, dark rear privacy glass, and expansive roof glass. Privacy glass can still receive compatible ceramic film for heat rejection, while the overhead glass and exact R1T or R1S window configuration should be reviewed separately before coverage is selected.
Select a shade below to compare visible light transmission (VLT) levels and find the balance of appearance, privacy, and visibility that fits your Rivian.
A dyed film focused on appearance and daytime privacy. A practical option when ceramic heat reduction is not your main priority.
Privacy Tint PackagesCeramic film for heat reduction and everyday cabin comfort, with several shade choices.
Ceramic Tint PackagesOur premium ceramic tint option for customers prioritizing heat-reduction performance. A lighter shade can still be worth considering.
Compare XR Black & XR PlusQualifying packages include one film replacement on one covered roll-down side window within three years for eligible accidental or customer-caused damage. For the original customer and vehicle. Eligibility and exclusions apply.
XPEL’s limited manufacturer warranty covers qualifying film defects for the life of the vehicle.
Compare starting prices for XPEL Color Stable, PRIME XR Black, and PRIME XR Plus across our most requested coverage options.
| Coverage | Color Stable | XR Black | XR Plus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front two windows | $175 | $225 | $300 |
| Full vehicle surround | $400 | $525 | $750 |
| Full vehicle with windshield | $650 | $775 | $1,050 |
| Full windshield | $300 | $300 | $400 |
| Windshield strip | $80 | $100 | $125 |
| Sunroof or panoramic roof | $150 | $250 | $350 |
Prices are starting points for standard glass layouts. Existing film removal, extra glass, and difficult access can change the quote. Windshield and roof applications require eligibility and glass compatibility checks.
Dark rear glass changes appearance, but the color alone does not tell you its heat performance. Ceramic film can be added to suitable glass after reviewing the combined shade.
Visible light transmission describes how much light passes through. Lower numbers look darker. We use actual samples and check the glass-and-film combination before settling on a shade.
Keep the windows up for the instructed curing period and follow the cleaning guidance at pickup. Temporary haze or moisture can occur as the film dries.
Provide the exact R1T or R1S, the side, rear, windshield, or roof glass being considered, and your heat, privacy, glare, visibility, and appearance goals. We will recommend the XPEL film, shade, and coverage that fit the vehicle.
XPEL FUSION PLUS

Beyond the paint
| Treatment | Starting price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel Faces | $395 | Compatible visible wheel faces. |
| Full Wheels & Calipers | $995 | Compatible faces, barrels, and calipers, subject to access. |
| Windshield Glass Coating | $195 | Compatible exterior windshield glass. |

Signature includes two-step correction where safe and IR-assisted curing as appropriate. Normal cure-time and washing instructions still apply.
IR-assisted curing uses controlled infrared heat to accelerate the coating’s initial curing process before your Rivian leaves our facility.
Matte finishes and complete multi-surface packages are also available. We’ll select the product for the material and finish being treated.
Tell us which Rivian you drive, its current condition, and how long you plan to keep it. We will recommend the coating package and preparation that fit your use and maintenance goals.
Windshield protection film
Windshield protection film is installed on the exterior of the glass to help absorb impacts from ordinary road debris before they reach the factory windshield.
Rivian owners who use R1T, R1S, or R2 vehicles for highway travel, towing, gravel roads, or off-road trips may benefit from windshield film because of the upright glass and regular debris exposure. It provides a replaceable exterior layer. Availability depends on the exact windshield and its condition.
The film is replaceable, but it is also a wear item. Appearance and service life depend on mileage, road exposure, storage, maintenance, wiper use, and driving conditions.
We inspect the windshield, shape, existing damage, wiper access, and installation suitability. General categories start at $350 for qualifying short windshields and $550 for standard or larger glass.
Mileage, road conditions, wiper use, storage, and care affect clarity and service life. Routine care is needed between visits. The complimentary six-month Restore application is explained on the service page.
XPEL’s stated 12-month or 12,000-mile defect warranty is subject to its terms. Damage from road use and normal wear need to be assessed separately from a product defect.
Tell us which Rivian you drive, how it is used for highway travel, towing, or off-road trips, and the current windshield condition. We will confirm availability, pricing, maintenance, and expectations.
Vinyl wraps
Vinyl wrap gives Rivian owners a removable alternative to permanent repainting through full color changes, contrasting roofs, tailgate or bedside accents, and selected graphics. We will review the vehicle’s painted panels, current finish, factory accessories, and existing film before recommending coverage.
A full color change, contrasting roof, tailgate or bedside accent, or restrained graphic can be matched to suitable Rivian panels.
| Service | Starting price | Options to discuss |
|---|---|---|
| Full Color Change | $4,495 | A new color or finish across the agreed exterior surfaces. |
| Two-Tone Wrap | $1,795 | Contrasting upper or lower sections and agreed panels. |
| Partial Wraps & Accents | $495 | Roof, mirrors, spoiler, hood details, or selected panels. |
| Racing Stripes | $995 | Placement and proportions suited to your Rivian. |
| Chrome Delete | $495 | Covering suitable bright exterior trim. |
Final pricing depends on film, coverage, design complexity, and installation access. Repainted panels, damaged clear coat, and older repairs need a separate condition review. Removal results depend on the underlying finish.
Tell us which Rivian you drive, the color or design you want, and whether you prefer full coverage or selected areas. We will review the vehicle’s finish and accessories before providing model-specific pricing.
Vehicle electronics
Kickin' Customs offers added vehicle authorization, layered alarm systems, hardwired dashcams, and GPS tracking for Rivian owners, with climate and convenience features reviewed through the factory app-based platform. The right combination depends on your security, parking, travel, documentation, and vehicle-location goals.
Available security, dashcam, GPS, and added-authorization options can vary by model, model year, factory equipment, and existing modifications. We confirm the exact Rivian before recommending equipment or providing final pricing.

Find answers to common questions about protecting, styling, and adding electronics to your Rivian, including pricing, compatibility, vehicle condition, installation, and scheduling.
The right PPF coverage depends on the exact Rivian R1T or R1S and how it is used. Front-End Defense protects the complete front end, while Apex Defense adds rocker panels, A-pillars, and the leading roof when expanded highway or lower-body coverage is appropriate. Broad front surfaces, painted fenders, lower doors, rockers, wheel arches, rear bodywork, R1T bedsides and cargo edges, accessories, towing or off-road exposure, existing film, and paint condition must be reviewed before expanded or full-body coverage is finalized.
Rivian Standard gloss PPF packages start at $1,595 for sedans/coupes or $1,795 for SUVs/trucks for Strike Zone coverage. Complete full-front protection starts at $2,295 for sedans/coupes or $2,495 for SUVs/trucks, Apex Defense starts at $3,195 for sedans/coupes or $3,495 for SUVs/trucks, and full-body PPF starts at $6,995 for sedans/coupes or $7,995 for SUVs/trucks. Final pricing depends on the model, trim, film, paint condition, existing film, and requested coverage.
Tint should be selected after reviewing the exact Rivian R1T or R1S glass configuration and the driver's heat, glare, privacy, and visibility goals. Ceramic film can improve heat rejection even where factory privacy glass already changes the appearance of rear glass. The windshield, expansive roof glass, side and rear glass, sensor housings, driver visibility, and any factory-treated glass should be reviewed before the film and shade are selected.
Windshield protection film can be worthwhile for a Rivian R1T or R1S used for highway travel, towing, gravel roads, winter use, or off-road driving. Fitment and the existing glass condition must be confirmed before installation. The exterior film is a replaceable wear item, so clarity, service life, maintenance, and eventual replacement depend on mileage, wiper use, storage, and road exposure.
Rivian's factory app-based climate and convenience functions remain the primary option. Conventional aftermarket remote start is not presented as a standard recommendation. Other compatible electronics can be reviewed separately for the exact vehicle.
An aftermarket immobilizer may be available for a Rivian, but compatibility is not assumed. The exact model, model year, electronic platform, and supported system must be reviewed before IGLA, SPYNEX, or another immobilizer is recommended. Available authorization methods and operating behavior depend on the supported system.
Dashcam parking mode may be available for a Rivian R1T or R1S, but it depends on the exact vehicle, camera, battery condition, power-management settings, and installation path. A hardwired system can route most wiring behind trim and monitor selected events while parked. Recording duration and event capture are not guaranteed. The exact EV platform, parked duration, charging habits, installed accessories, and factory power management require review.
GPS tracking can add location visibility, movement alerts, and useful vehicle information for a Rivian R1T or R1S used for adventure travel, towing, outdoor parking, security awareness, or vehicle-location needs. Available functions, cellular coverage, and update frequency depend on the hardware, service plan, signal conditions, and system configuration. Tracking does not prevent theft or guarantee recovery.
A Rivian may be coordinated from a delivery center, seller, or other approved delivery source when the owner and that source approve the arrangement. Kickin' Customs does not imply an official manufacturer or seller relationship, and pickup, delivery, or transportation is not automatic.
Window tint may be completed during one appointment. Full-front PPF, coatings, wraps, full-body PPF, or combined packages may require multiple days. The expected schedule is provided after the vehicle and selected services are reviewed.
