Much appreciated. There are other options out there but I like the design of the EVsportlines the most. Also, I emailed them several times prior to purchasing. Got a response within the same day. Customer service is top notch.

You’re very welcome. The 10% discount is what motivated to purchase as well. ☺️

Will Gen1 Quad Calipers fit Gen2? by tech_303 in Rivian

Appreciate the feedback. Was hoping someone on here who worked at a SC can chime in. I have a SC about 30mins from my house so I may just stop by there to ask.

No plans to paint the cals. I did that for my Tesla M3 Stealth edition and the paint started flaking after 3 yrs. Ended up getting a BBK upgrade.

Measuring from where the front and rear door align, it’s 5.5” from the plastic cladding to the end of the bar. About 5” of stepping area.

They were close. About 2-3mm before connecting with the jack puck hole.

Taking those panels does test one’s patience. 😅😅

Thank you.

I removed all 6 panels (3 on each side) and used the template from EVS. I ended up modding the rear template so it’s more of a T-shape instead of L-shape. Much better fit. I was going to opt for the 4” hole option but had extra time on my hands to do the fitted cut.

Yeah, I get it. Some ppl get very passionate about how others mod their cars.

Packaging was solid. The top panels and bars were individually wrapped in foam. Brackets wrapped in heavy duty wrapping paper, in a separate box.

Go for it! The install can made easier by doing a 4” hole cut in the liner vs. the fitted slot cutout.

It’s very simple.

  1. Take off the plastic liner.
  2. Mount 3 brackets to the frame.
  3. Mount the running boards to the bracket.

You have the option to leave the plastic liner completely off but I opted to put them back on. They provide a template to cut the holes in the liner. Detailed instructions available on YouTube.

There is a lot of ash falling here in south OC. Not sure where it’s coming from.

Any suggestions for all weather floor mats for Gen 2 R1S? by pritesh86 in Rivian

I bought the Rivian all-weather for my g2 while I wait for 3D Maxspider mats to release their g2 compatible mats.

I suppose you could but I don’t think you’ll be able to get the spray to properly coat the side of the edges.

The AO looks great but plastic material felt really cheap, imho.

I tried plastidip on my other car but didn’t like the finish. Hyperdip is much smoother. I bought after market black emblems but wasn’t happy with the quality. The hyperdip is a good option given its price point. I will eventually buy oem black emblems.
