Gauging interest: Real CF Pillars for CL

Would anyone be interesting in cf pillars for the CL? I've seen it done on the M35 and it looks amazing. Wanted to know how many people would actually buy this if it were available. Est price would be about $200, which seems to be pretty standard. Tell me what you think and if you would be interested. Thanks.

keep in mind these pics are from a M45

Mm.... I agree... $200 seems a bit steep. And I don't think it would be that great unless you had other carbon fiber pieces to help it out.

Overlay, real cf, not cheap imitation stuff. It would probably be cheaper than $200 since the CL is a 2 door, the $200 is a 4 door vehicle price. I'm not the one making or selling these, I'm just getting a feel for if people would buy these, then I can get them made.

It would only look good on a few cars. I have a silver cl-p and i would never get that, especially for $200. On the other hand if i had your color car maybe i would if the price was lower.

Where the hell would it go?? We don't really have a pillar between the door and the rear window. It's about 1 inch thick.



I think it would look rather cheap with a thin piece just stuck on top of that pillar, unless you have a cf hood and trunk.

He has a TL like I do. I think it would look sweet.

UglyPsycho already did it though.

I think it looks great, and if it was cheaper I would be down for it.

With the TL I think it looks alright, especially on a white one. But they basically have two pillars and both are wider than the CL's one.

You bring up a great point, the CL being a 2 door and only an inch strip, the price would be drastically cheaper. Heck I'm thinking like $70 maybe. I'd have to check and see, but you're right, there's not much there, so it would be much cheaper than $200.

Naaa. Doubt I'd do that. It would have to be a combination of very inexpensive and a good look. I'd rather see pieces in the engine bay with carbon fiber. Like the E46 Bimmer guys get.
