B pillar Trim

I'm sorry if there has already been a thread about this, but I was unable to locate it. Anyway has anyone been able to find some quality piano black trim to add to the Bi pillars of the ilx? I've seen tons on Ebay but I'm not sure how well it would actually fit the car. thanks

Don't use covers! I bought some from a very repeatable seller (CarbonCovers?) for my TSX and they don't fit just right. Very uneven, gaps, stick off the pillar to far (too thick). They're sitting in my floor in the corner of my room currently because I don't wanna install them like that. I may try to flatten the edges a little but I doubt I can do anything with them. May try to sell them, not sure. The gloss finish is amazing though. Like a black mirror.

Instead get a roll of 3M 1080p Vinyl for about half the price (I paid $35) and wrap the pillars. It's removable and will be 100% flush and not look tacked on. Literally.

Sounds like something I'd like to try. Is it pretty easy to do yourself? I've never worked with vinyl before.

It's extremely easy to do. You clean the area, attach the vinyl, apply heat (heat gun or small torch. Hair dryer may work as well but take longer) and iron out any wrinkles or creases.


So far I've wrapped my Front Grill, Window Trim and Rear Spoiler.


Take a look..........
