Hey guys, i removed that annoying fading vinil off the pillars (as many of youe guys already have). I used goo-gone to get the left-over adhesive off. Very nice!

That looks so good! Your doors look exactly like mine will after I do this. Any tips for when I remove the vinyl?

 

looks good.

 

Mine don't have vinyl

 

I'd say just let your car sit in the sun (the hotter, the better). Then gently start pulling on the vinyl from the inside of the door. The slower you pull, less adhesive will be left behind. You can also use some adhesive remover that's available @ any auto parts store.

 

That's nice

 

Use a blow dryer to heat it up.

 

vinyl??? mine are black, and i don't think ther's vinyl. anyone tried those chrome pillars?? they look kinda cheesy, but i like chrome......

 

nice job bro... That audi sittin in the back i think i seen it before a couple off times at my old school GWHS??

 

The black is vinyl. It peels off. It's not easy, but it comes off and underneath is body color. Already cleared and awaiting wax.

 

ok ok ok, now i'm gettin exited!!!! how does it come off now???!!!??!!

 

black cars don't have the vinyl. sycefiro has the chrome pillars and has some for sell. check him out in the i30 section classifieds.

 

Use a blow dryer to get it hot and pick at a corner to start the peeling process. Be patient and don't use any metal tools.

 

Really.....Bkack cars don't have vinyl? Is it black paint?, body color?

 

ya, metal not good with any painted surfaces, ugh. how long to take off??? hour a side, maybe hour and a half?? better on a sunny day i guess. what about the trim on passenger doors, that come off too??

 

yeah its body colored paint. other colors cover it with black vinyl to tie together the window area.

 

I think there's a How-To in the sticky on this. Looks good.

 

i did this like when i first got the car...I thought it was cool to do something but regretted it later because my windows are tinted pretty dark and this just made an interruption in the front and rear windows.
I'm gonna try to get the CF pillars.

 

im just gonna repaint mine black somehow looks better black anyway then white

 

Didn't even notice it was peel-able
Well, now that you have it off, it's a perfect time to get a carbon fiber overlay

Yea, it does look better on the dark colors. White....not so good. Especially with dark windows.

 

He-he-he, it's actually my neighbor's house in the backround, and that's his friend's car He does go to GWHS btw He effed-up that car real bad. Serves him right, he drives like a comple a-hole.

 

thatnks guys, it really was easy to do on a nice 95 degree day

 

oh lol i just graduated from there might off seen my car white max dark *** tint?? Was all riced up when i got it from the kid before... But thats all gone now

 

oh sweet! I wouldn't mind seeing it sometime

 

I did my front passenger side over the weekend, looks decent but i used all the 3m adhesive remover i had. Still has glue on it, so i dunno. Any advise on getting it off?????

 

goo gone...

 

i got the chrome pillars....i love the look. but if you dont like chrome your gonna hate it cuz it really makes the car stand out.

 

someone locallly not on here is tryin to set-up a maxima meet sometime in sept. will let you know. But yea your gonna see me around locally dirivng a lil strange avoiding the curb since im lowered lol

 

Nice job man. The only thing I think would set it off would be having black window trim instead of chrome... but thats just my two cents.

 

Thanks bro, i'm fine the way it is

 

that looks good, where did you get it from?

 

Get what from?
