Default Pillar replacement

I just ordered some carbon fiber pillars and wanted to know how to remove the old pillar and put the new one. Thanks in advance.

as far as i know, all the pillars sold are just "overlays" meaning they go over the existing pillar with double sided tape.

that's an overlay
I don't know if they are doing it on purpose or inadvertently by using ****ty image.
Also, it doesn't help that there's no product description, it's not that hard to put on there that the product attaches to the oe part using double side tape.
Also if you have question about a product you can always email the seller.
