Vinyl or body color or re-paint with flat black??

I would like to get some opinions about what to do with my door posts. Take a look at the pics and let me know which looks better. In my opinion the black sorta looks better because it unifies the windows but I still can't decide....maybe if I painted the post in flat black it would be best??

Just peel off the sticker already and be done with it. Your faded door pillars look like trash, and if you paint them, you will need to do it quite often. Just peel off the sticker and go body color. It looks better in person than in pictures. Also, then your done with it. No more mainteince, no more time, and best of all, it was FREE!

Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I'm telling it how it should be

No problem. I'm in a rambunctious (sp?) mood

LOL No its not...its on the RIGHT side unlike yours which is on the left

By the way do you guys think I should take off the "window trims"..not sure if that's what they're called. It's the plastic thing above the windows in the pic. If I actually drove the car without the AC then they might actually be of some use on rainy days but since I always use the AC they are pretty much useless.

TheNip73 I think I will try to paint the vinyl first with the black tomorrow and post up a new pic. If it sucks then I would just have to peel off the vinyl like I did on the other side of the car.

Thanks for the opinions...so far black is winning

yeah, i think it looks more streamlined (cleaner) without the trim. Also, it took me a couple days to get used to my body color door pillars, but I think they add a little character and look a little more custom than the average max. You should go body color. They look nice. just my .02
