Default B Pillar Upgrade

Something I came across. What's up with a group buy, if anyone is interested?!

Well, RominL,

I was just putting it out there so the we could negotiate a good price, as a group! Not to scam anyone. And I would only recommend we go thru steve at carson anyway. So, I don't know what your trying to imply. I'm just trying to contribute to the board.

P.S. everyone....I found those on ebay

maalox: Like I said in my earlier post, Steve has these in stock so there is no reason why we need to go to ebay and Negotiate for a good price. Steve has the real deal from Japan and his prices are the best around. If there is enough interest in the CF door pillars, then contact Steve and ask him to set up a GB. However, trying to get stuff from ebay is just wrong...Quality control at it's worst...

Like Rominl said, any mention of a GB has to be approved by us first..

Someone asked where I found them...I found them on ebay. The mention of ebay was not used to "haggle" or anything of the sort.

Since the "mention" of GB has to approved before I mention it...what is the proper way to Mention that thought process?

Just Pm DaveGS4 (admin) or one of the forum moderators and we will contact "OUR" vendors to see if they have that part and if they would be willing to do a GB. If you know of an outside vendor that can supply these parts, they must be approved by admin first and will be given a vendor package with all the details...

Here's a direct link to the CF garnish on Steve's website : http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=769

don't these carbon pillar pieces stop short on the top to allow room for the sunvisors,therefore, you either have to have visors too or it will look stupid because it wont be flush with top.

That's correct ... you need the side visors ... otherwise it will look funny...
