If you’ve recently taken delivery of a Rivian R1S or R1T in the greater Los Angeles area, you’re likely feeling two things: the thrill of the most advanced EV on the road, and the immediate realization that the 101 freeway is a war zone for paint.
At StickerCity, we’ve seen a massive surge in Rivian owners coming through our Sherman Oaks shop. Whether you’re a long-term owner or—as is common with many R1S drivers—you’re on a 3-year lease, you want your vehicle to look unique without breaking the bank or violating your lease agreement.
Here is how we help you "Rivian-proof" your vehicle with style.
The "Lease-Perfect" Philosophy: Protection Without the Commitment
Many of our clients ask: "Is it worth protecting a car I might give back in three years?"
The answer is a resounding yes. Rivian paint is beautiful, but it's prone to "road rash." Returning a lease with heavy rock chips or etched paint can result in unexpected "excessive wear and tear" fees.
Our Lease-Perfect Package is designed to be:
- Fully Reversible: Every upgrade we do can be reversed but the beauty of our ceramic coating and badge upgrades look like a factory finish without a trace before you return the car to Rivian.
- Cost-Effective: We focus on high-impact areas that protect your wallet and your paint.
🎨 Signature Style: The Black & Yellow "Adventure" Look

The most popular upgrade at StickerCity right now is our Badge Blackout and Two-Tone service.
The factory silver badges can look a bit dated against Rivian’s futuristic colors. We offer a specialized 7-Badge Full Set for $750, or our fan-favorite Two-Tone Black & Yellow combo. It gives your R1S that "Adventure Edition" look that feels like it came straight from the factory design studio.
- Pro Tip: If you already have a blackout package but want to add that "pop" of Rivian Yellow, our 3-badge accent set is just $450.
🛡️ Protection for the Valley: XPEL Stealth & Fusion
Los Angeles drivers deal with a unique mix of extreme heat, construction debris, and tight parking. We recommend two specific levels of protection for your Rivian:
- The "Stealth" Transformation: XPEL Stealth (Matte) PPF is the #1 choice for Rivian owners. It transforms your factory gloss paint into a rugged, satin finish that looks incredible on colors like El Cap Granite or Launch Green.
- Full Stealth (Main Body): $5,900
- XPEL Ultimate Gloss (Main Body): $5,500
- The "Ceramic Reset": If you want to keep your Rivian shiny and make it "self-cleaning," our XPEL Fusion Ceramic Coating is a must. It lasts the length of your lease, ensuring that bird droppings and sap don’t etch into the paint.
🛑 Don’t Forget the Calipers
Nothing completes the look of a 22" Sport Dark wheel like custom Rivian Yellow Brake Calipers. For $995, we provide a professional-grade finish that stays vibrant even under heavy braking. It’s the ultimate "OEM+" detail that sets your R1S apart at the local charging station.

Why StickerCity for your Rivian?
We aren't just a wrap shop; we are Rivian specialists. We understand the specific nuances of the R1S and R1T—from the sensor-heavy front bumpers to the delicate trim edges.
