Default Carbon Fiber Pillars are on!
Well, I received my carbon fiber pillars from Burtman Industries last week and installed them on my car a few minutes ago. The carbon fiber weave looked perfect to the naked eye and the laminate was just right. It took me 15 minutes to install because I wanted to make sure that everything was extra clean. I must warn that the 3M adhesive is very strong. I accidentally leaned into my car a little too much on the passenger side and the adhesive caught and it wouldn't peel off. Luckily it was within .5mm of where I wanted it so I just mounted the other pillars accordingly. These pillars definitely look amazing and clean.

I'm not affiliated with Burtman Industries whatsoever, but just wanted to give them props on an excellent product and my "installation experience".

Thanks! I was actually supposed to get it tinted yesterday, but my tint guy had to take care of a family emergency. Next weekend!

You'll definitely be impressed. I've had so many people compliment me on my car at work already.

I know what you mean about comments: I had so many good comments on Jason's pillars on my M45.....Everyone was so impressed.
A great touch, and a mod that won't break the bank .

Looks nice! BTW, you don't even need the pillars to get compliments on your car; you drive a F. Even if you put hello kitty stickers all over, people will probably start following you.
