Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

I recently purchased some yellow paracord that I used to wrap the front tow hooks of my R1S. I haven't done a lot of towing with my R1S but I felt this would add a colorful view to the front of my vehicle.

They're actually not bad at all, but the color is not quite the same. I feel it needs a little more orange in it. Probably I would add the orange color sometime soon or I might not add it at all. The paracord looks solid and it's made of plastic too. Looks like something that would last for a long time but, I would love to try it out by using it to tow a vehicle and see how it would perform.

It may get dirty and not clean well but I guess time will tell!
