just want some opinions or pics if you have any. just seems like an easy mod to do myself for a lil more custom look if i so desire. i got a White 97 GXE (chrome door handels) everything stock....in case that sways ur opinions. thanx for the input

 

body colored...i think it looks real nice in white too.

It might be easier if you set this up as a real poll.

 

yeah, i couldn't figure it out. lol. but didn't really take the time.

 

Well IMO stock. Just look at the economy type cars out there. The base trim for a some car models (for example take a look at the Toyota Corolla and Matrix) usually come with body colored door pillars/frames, whereas the "deluxe" version usually have a matte finish. I know its all taste but why visually break the "greenhouse" with color ; it makes the pillars stand out like a sore thumb... especially if you have tint. The whole point of them being black is to clean up the profile.

Also to some people (like myself) will think your car was repainted and the body shop was careless in masking the proper areas before painting.

 

i think they look good...

stock. body color pillars(except blk cars) stand out way too much against your windows especially tinted windows.

 

if u have dark color.. black, or dark emerald, then body color..

if you have a lighter color.. keep the stock tape on there. or if the tape is worn and ugly.. paint it black..
medium colored cars.. i duno.. its your call. but yeah. i dont like it on white, or the pebble beige. IMO.. to all their own though.

mine are body colored

 

body color. i peeled my stickers off a long time ago, it looks better imo

 

What about Carbon Fiber?

I think they look way better than the tape

 

mmm ... carbon fiber, now thats something that looks nice. I wonder how it would look on a white max :-) just wondering, how much did you get those for?

 

The door pillars look stock good when the max that you own is a dark color. Other than that, the closer you're max is to a lighter color you should probably tear off those door pillars. They looked ugly on lighter maximas.

 

I've got pebble beige with body color, I'm happy with it. I think it would look good on white too, I saw one like that and it looked really nice. With tints it might not be quite as great because there will be so much contrast. Just my thoughts.

 

check the sig.. best simple mod ever done..

blake

 

Definitley body color

 

not sure if the 7 year old paint that has not faded at all (the pillar) will match the rest of the car--take that into consideration, its kind of like shaving it. thats what stopped me from doing it. i saw a big outline from MAXIMA when i shaved my trunk

 

Kinda like this.......

 

^ Ooh, that looks nice. I have a set sitting here in my room waiting to be installed.

 

Any pictures of a Pebble Beige w/ Body color pillars and tinted windows (at least 20%)?

 

when you take if off is there any way to get it back on? How much are those carbon fiber ones?

 

check sig.. 15 rear and 35 up front.. more pics on homepage..

on your white car, body colored. but next time you want a poll... make a real poll

 

body color all the way!!!
and i can say for sure that the paint underneath matches seeing as how my '95 max has been in AZ all its life and has seen more sun than most other cars. but the sun did take its toll on those stupid stickers, which were a real b!tch to get off

 

take it off, take it all off.

 

Its all just a big giant black vinyl sticker so if you want to put it back then go to a sticker shop like the carts at the malls and buy a large sheet of it and stick it back. I think Im gonna do that and buy some black vinyl since the stock black is faded and looks like poop

 

Also what im wondering is if anyone is brave enough to get chrome?? hehe

 

ummm....chrome? might only work with some colors. I think it would clash really bad with a black car

 

i like it without the black strip, i have before and after pics on my homepage on page 4

 

Body Colored. Mine is Ruby Pearl, I think it looks a lot better with the color.

 

I put the CF on myself.. with some CF decal stuff off ebay..

 

I've seen chrome on the B pillars of a Cadillac. Probably also had extra chrome around the wheel openings too. Too bling bling IMHO. Black tape is ok, but body color is sort of nice for a change of pace.

 

i think chrome would be too much
