Default A pillar glossy black wrap?

I photoshopped a rc with the "A" pillar wrapped glossy black for a seamless look, do you think this would look better in person? I got inspiration form the GT-R and it looks great on the GT-R

I tried out 2 different types






or the top completely black

The black A pillar is an interesting look...but definitely not the black pillar and roof.

Which GTR picture does this look good on? I've only seen ones where the entire a pillar is wrapped and the roof remained the same color.

Blacked-out A pillar looks good.

This is a low cost DIY effort that it's worth trying to see if you like it in the flesh.

So here is some actual pictures of the pillar wrapped. I did it just to show what it would look like for you guys. I did not keep it on.

Can't say I'm a fan. Breaks up the lines of the car too much.

Thank you for the effort though.

Not a fan of the pillar. How did you wrap the bottom mount of the side mirrors?

Herroimant.
Great job messing around with the graphic imAges.

I think that looks awesome.
but
it's gotta be white top, chrome delete the side in gloss black then put the black a pillars on the front. I was thinking it too. Did you happen to have any side view images of the top all white, side chrome in gloss black AND with the A pillars blacked out ?

Awesome work

The top HAS TO BE a White roof to match, there should be a black chrome delete, for the black A Pillars to match right.


The problem is the blacked out part in the photo images are NOT symmetrical. It should start on an angle lower at the bitton. Symmetrical to the window glass, and at angle at the top symmetrical to the glass as well.. Look at how the Nissan GTR has its a pillar wrapped in black

Oh. And the black on the A Pillar would need to be a glossy black i believe.

If someone with editting skills can try again and post.... This look would be such a SLEEPER, if done right.

Something like this photo. But the top black part isn't on an angle. It kind of just stops.... Which makes it look out of place. If it kept going on a more slanted angle... Like maybe a 45 degree angleISH then it would be more appealing
