Default carbon fiber pillar

Thinking about getting this for my car company its by Burtman Industries. What do you guys think is it to tacky or its a good upgrade. I just had my interior done carbon fiber done by different company too. Here's a picture but its from M45 but similar to the 2ISX50. Also here's the link to the company for the door pillars.http://www.burtmanindustries.com/gal...crb_dor_pillar

I didn't see a price on the link you posted but eBay has some real carbon fiber ones for like $60. I say get them Only if you plan to add more carbon on the exterior, otherwise NO.

^ totally agree. I got my pillars wrapped in CF and I liked it for a bit but I got tired of the look after awhile because I didn't really have anything else that was CF on the exterior. Now I'm probably going to remove them and go back to the stock pieces.

Did you remove the black moulding thats around the bottom mirror? How did you remove it so cleanly?

My wife has them on her car. We got the real ones off of ebay for $60. They are nice and easy to put on.
