Default carbon fiber pillar

Thinking about getting this for my car company its by Burtman Industries. What do you guys think is it to tacky or its a good upgrade. I just had my interior done carbon fiber done by different company too. Here's a picture but its from M45 but similar to the 2ISX50. Also here's the link to the company for the door pillars.http://www.burtmanindustries.com/gal...crb_dor_pillar

I didn't see a price on the link you posted but eBay has some real carbon fiber ones for like $60. I say get them Only if you plan to add more carbon on the exterior, otherwise NO.

^ totally agree. I got my pillars wrapped in CF and I liked it for a bit but I got tired of the look after awhile because I didn't really have anything else that was CF on the exterior. Now I'm probably going to remove them and go back to the stock pieces.
