I did some searching and found some threads but nothing about these

my pillars are very faded and look pretty bad, so I was looking on google and found these on ebay and was wondering if anyone has bought them, thank you

gloss black

that just looks like vinyl.

or you can plasti-dip.

I was thinking about plasti dip or gloss black paint, I just dont think I could get them looking as good as those do

Here's my buddies (marcbra) 2G TL with plastidip

It looks good but I think I am more attracted to the gloss look

^^ thats what I am thinking, did you use a basic process? sand them or strip them or anything?

i actually got a set of stainless steel pillars from this place called 707 motoring in new york----i paid $50 for them with free shipping

i wasnt to sure about them to be honest but it goes well with the lip on my rims

and i had them on for about 6 months now and they still look brand new with no scrathes at all------they look like a fuckin mirror

That's what they look like. I think I'm going to buy those as well. Looks good, and my OEM ones look like they're going to fall apart.

Was it hard to install, or just clip on?

Bmcneal11

thanks, you have any pics bro?

Bmcneal11

now I dont know which ones I should get

Looks like the chrome ones would look better if you do not have tint and the blacks if you have tint? idk just my opinion

I've been meaning to change mine for a while now. Mine are faded. I like the gloss black. I was reading over the info --->http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GLOSS...#ht_1781wt_938

Ok. It says to peel the backing off and apply to the car. Now do you place this new one on top of the oem part? Or how would you install it?

Bmcneal11

Wow, I did not bother to read that far yet, so its just like a sticker?

if you're going to do the b-pillars.. all you would need to do is sand them down with a coarse grit sandpaper and then with a fine grit sandpaper and make sure it's smooth to the touch. then spray warm water on the pillars and start applying the vinyl over the b-pillars. use a card to squeeze all the excess water out. a heatgun helps, or you can simply use a hairdryer like i did.

thanks man, and when u say vinyl do u mean any vinyl or from the products I posted? and Im guessing the pillars were removed to do so?

dan lazer

yea i think i got pics in my profile albums-----take a look if ya want

and yea there just 3m tape on the back of them---but its sum good fuckin tape------they just go right over the OEM pillars

im honestley happy with the quality of the steel and the look of them

Bmcneal11

thanks for the info bro

I really know nothing about vinyl so please forgive me if this is stupid and cant be done or something, but I think it could possibly look pretty cool if they could be wrapped in something like this with a texture
