Replacing A-pillars

Postby Rynor » Sun Sep 06, 2015 10:07 pm

Hey guys! Has anyone got around to changing their a-pillars to aftermarket ones? I want to get carbon fiber pillars and replace my factory ones.

Have you considered just getting the stock ones wrapped?

Having the stock ones wrapped would probably save you a whole heap of $$$

I was looking at flocking mine, either spray on or a wrap if I can find any.

Yes and no, preparation is the key and buy more than you need as you'll likely make a few mistakes the first time.

I'd still like the know the correct way to remove them, from past experience I know the plastic tabs can easily be broken if you force them the wrong way.
