carbon fiber door pillars

I have seen a couple of maximas with carbon fiber door pillars ( on the outside where the windows are). I was wondering where you can buy those. If anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks.

I have them. They can be seen on my homepage. They can be purchased from New England Dash company for $66 shipped. If anyone purchases these, can you please ask what kind of maintenance is required for keeping them looking clear. Mine are about a year old and are turning white instead of staying clear.

I've had mine from the same company for about a year and a half with no problems at all. Check out my webpage for pics.

Do you put anything on them to keep them clear? Mine are very cloudy and not too clear anymore. Not sure if the winter messed them up or what. During the summer if I don't wipe them they'll get white water spots which are pretty hard to get off.

I think the white stuff may be scratches. Much like if you scratch plastic. I would say you can buff it out or use that stuff someone had mentioned that covers it. From what I know about carbon fiber, the outer coating is an epoxy coating. I would even say if you ever feel inclined to paint it with clear coat paint, you can to restore the finish just as if you did it to light lenses. I have carbon fiber bike and yea, it's got white marks/scratches.

I know these already exist, but is there a market for some higher quality genuine CF door pillars for a couple bucks less than the current prices?

No, they aren't scratches it's water spots that won't come out. Where can I get Klasse AIO? Autozone? Is it like a plastic polish?
