You can have all of them repainted at a body shop for around 100$. That is what they quoted me.

I replaced mine with OEM part. It came painted and cost $30 bucks. Pretty simple to install too. Why buy the vinyl if you can just replace the b pillar itself?

How did you get the b-pillars that cheap? Every dealer I asked wanted $65-70 each pillar....even acuraoemparts.com doesn't sell them that cheap.

does anybody know how easy it would be to paint these to match the color of the car? If anyone has done this can you please post pics? I think I'm going to try this. Tacky or no?

Hey guys- i have the prototype overlays installed on my car right now. They came out great and were pretty easy to install considering I'm new to vinyl. I haven't taken pics yet because I didn't sand underneath and it shows through just slightly. Because of this- I'm going to include sand paper in the kit so you can smooth down the surface before applying the vinyl.

We are taking them off this week to make the real template which will be stored in a computer and used with a laser plotter to make everybody else's

Stay with me guys- not much longer. As soon as I post the pics I will be able to take orders as long as I get approval for group buys
