I interested in CF door pillars to go over the greyish looking door pillars that look aweful when the rest of the car looks so clean after detailing. I send wood-dash an email concerning the door pillars. Hopefully they still sale them.

Hi Guys!
I worked with Eddie at NE Wood Dash to create the templates for the CF door pillars a long time ago. I had always wanted to do this and Eddie was the only person willing to do custom work at a reasonable price. I basically made carboard templates to the exact specs I wanted, and he cut out and created the CF pieces from it. They fit perfect and look great. I'm glad to hear that people are making use of this mod!
I have the pics of them installed, I'll upload them and post soon.

I've got some pics of em installed on my homepage. I may have been the first to copy Maximizd's excellent idea after meeting him at the Liberty State Park Maxima meet a while ago. Everyone is so afraid of change and being criticized for doing something different, until it finally comes to be accepted. You can see this now by the reactions to the new APC 5th Gen wing. Remember, it's your car, do whatever you like to modify it. You can either be like everyone else, which sometimes gets boring, or you can actually think and do new things that no one else has done to their ride. Personally, I like to be different. Peace.

Mine came in today It took me about 15 minutes to install them very easy and strait to the point. I was a little impatient when I started and you can tell from the driver side. It not as nice looking as the passenger but still a good install. These thinks won't come off trust me they aren't going to fall off anytime soon. I have the Blue carbon fiber and it matched my Majestic blue perfectly. They are a clean and understated modd you won't even know the are ther until you get close up and see the detailed door pillars which make the car look sportier. All in all I highly recommend them. Pics will be posted tomorrow.

Those carbon fiber kits look great, I gotta look for them, somebody dented and scratched the oem ones, gotta cover them. I'm working with a friend of mine that fabs steel and i'm gonna see if he'll make something like this for me and i'll have them painted at a body shop to match the majestic blue on my car. I think that'll look great.

Do some modification of the door pillar Cut they are very flexable they are like salt water taffy really a pair of sizzers will do the job. Then put it right beneath the vent visor and use a very steady hand to apply the pillars.
