The carbon pillars are separate. The wind visors are very easy to install. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol, and test fit them. Then just pull the tape off and apply. It takes like 10 minutes max. But take your time, once they're on, they're on.

Nice touch but I dislike anything that has to be affixed to the car via 3m tape. (i.e. woodgrain kit-overlay type, chrome trunk bar "cover", exterior pillars, headlight eyebrows-stick on type etc etc...) Just my humble opinion. If there are ones out there that can "replace" your existing pillars then I would go with that!

If you plan to put both the overlays and the visors on, do the overlay first. The pillar overlay are notched for the visors and will be harder to apply with the visors in the way.

I have both, but have no pics close enough to show.

If you want to "stick" things on your car with tape.... Your driving the wrong vehicle.
