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!

Last weekend, one of my friend had a crossbar accident at his home. He wanted to back out of his garage and totally forgot that he had a strap tied to one of his crossbars that was hanging over the truck. Got caught under the wheel and ripped the end of the crossbar right out, also dented the side of the truck as it came off.

His PPF protected the paint, at least. He was hoping it might be something paintless dent repair could fix.

He reached out to John from H&H Paintless Dent Repair and the did wonders repairing the dent, at a very reasonable price, and very quickly!

Unfortunately, the repair necessitated removing a section of the PPF around the dent, so he'll have a seam in the PPF on that side of the truck, but the installer assured him that it will only be minimally visible.
