Piano black should look good on yours and other lighter colour car (especially PWP).

I own a CBP, so the chrome around the piller actually accentuate the Black Pearl colour.

^Tish, our pillars are matte black. I think Mike wants them Piano (Glossy) Black which I think would look good.

09TSXTech is correct, I want the glossy black look over the matte look.

They look pretty nice. How well do they hold up against fingerprints? And if you don't mind, how much did they cost you?

Like the gloss black pillar

Have you given any thoughts on WeatherTech door visors/rainguards like patcrack instead of Acrua one.

Mugen has lower profile than stock Acura, so good choice there.
