Default What is with this car?

What is that weird silver divide between the front and back windows? Isn't the standard for it to be black? Is this an option? I would get this car if it didn't have this

It's an aftermarket add-on.

If you don't like them they can always be removed with fishing line and Goo-gone.

Not sure on the other colors, but on an Obsidian Black the pillars are slightly different color than the rest of the car. The chrome at least hides that flaw. Although, I would like to see this in person before judging if I like it or not.

They are chrome pillar accents, optional not standard. The triangle piece on the back part of the rear window also has a chrome insert on it. It should be black.

Have them removed and sell 'em

So I could just take them off myself? I will consider the car then.

I think the rims are nice, 19"s too. I could think of far worse mods to make.

Yup I bought a set from ebay for $60.. And it'll prevent you to put on the window visor if you consider it. buy the car and remove that thing, only 3M tape.

thanks RXSF still remember me. ...
