The Rivian R1S represents the pinnacle of electric adventure vehicles, and protecting your investment with a professional vehicle wrap is a smart choice. Whether you're looking to enhance aesthetics, protect the OEM paint, or create a branded fleet presence, R1S wraps offer versatile solutions. With over 600+ Rivians wrapped through our parent company Chicago Fleet Wraps, we've perfected the R1S wrap process.
R1S Wrap Types & Options
The Rivian R1S's distinctive 212-inch length and angular design create unique wrapping opportunities. We offer three primary wrap configurations:
Full Vehicle Wraps: Complete coverage of all exterior surfaces including doors, panels, roof, and bumpers. Perfect for fleet branding or complete aesthetic transformation. Installation time: 5-7 business days.
Partial/Accent Wraps: Target specific areas like the hood, roof stripe, side panels, or bumper wraps. Ideal for showcasing logos or brand colors while maintaining original paint visibility. Installation time: 2-3 business days.
Protective Film + Accent Design: Combines clear protective film on high-impact areas (hood, fenders, door edges) with custom design elements. Preserves factory paint while adding visual appeal. Installation time: 3-4 business days.
Material Selection & Durability
Premium vinyl wrap materials are engineered for longevity and environmental resistance. We utilize 3M, AVERY, and Hexis professional-grade films offering:
- 5-7 year durability for calendered films
- 7-10 year durability for cast vinyl films
- UV protection to prevent fading and degradation
- Self-healing top coat technology on select premium options
- Color-matched seams and edge sealing
The R1S's aluminum body panels and Tesla-like design require precision application. Our technicians hand-measure each section to ensure pattern alignment across the vehicle's 118-square-foot exterior surface area.
