Way before i had my GS, I would plan on mods. They included chrome door pillars, some 22"s with a DUB emblem. Now i think that look, looks cheap. Thats something you see everyday on chargers, impalas, 300c. You also see them on cars with "blades". Bottom line, IMO, they look cheap, even if they looked good, they are played out(at least in Houston). I cant believe JP came out with those

I agree with the others in this thread. And I say that because this guy on my block has them but on a Infiniti G35 and it really looks like overkill. He got chrome rims and door handles but the chrome pillars are too much and I think it takes away from the car.

You could do carbon fiber pillars.. I thought you had some CF on the rear windo pillar for some reason? Maybe not.. Nah i wouldn't do the chrome..

I think they could look great. I believe a few users on here have chrome pillars that look good. Since i have silver paint and im rockin' chrome rims it could work for me, but thats what a photoshop test is for.

I guess it depends on your car and your car's theme. As for mine, I wouldnt even put them on if they were given to me for free.
