Question B Pillar overlays

Rather than taking them off an painting them or applying vinyl, what do you guys think of the aftermarket overlays such as this on ebay that just tape on?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Any other sources of these that are more cost effective?

That looks like a good idea, I was thinking about painting them again but this might be better, but the price is whats making me not do this.

its prolly better off just getting these and not have to repaint them

I agree these look good price is a bit expezz, but I guees you get what you pay far. I hope this is a really HEAVY duty vinyl overlay that can withstand winter, salt and all that other shitty elements!

Unless they are really thin...I think they'd look tacky. I would paint or do vinyl...

Ive seen bats work with overlays on the 3rd gen and they are very well made.

Id definatly buy them from you if you find a 2nd gen so u can make them.

I'm still interested in the overlay.

Regarding the ebay link above, I went through recent purchases of the overlays on Ebay and found two TL purchases. I emailed both buyers and heard back from one. Unfortunately, he said his looked terrible and thought they were a waste; so, I'm tossed at the moment.

02type-s: are you happy with the look?

Bat: Please let me know the cost for gloss black on the '00 TL.
