Since the blackout on the A Pillar is removable, i was wondering how everyone felt about removing it or keeping it on. which color would look best with the blacked out A pillar and which color looks good with it?

i think the blacked out a pillar would only look good if it had been glossy, so it was just as reflective as the window to fully achieve the visor look. also if there was no moonroof and the top was color coded, than the look could have been pulled off. but since there is a moonroof, instead of looking like a clean 3 sided visor, the remaining color looks more like two curved prongs coming from the C pillar.

 

In general, the lighter colored cars (silver, cement, white) look better WITH the black pillars.

I think the darker (blue, crimson, metallic gray, black) could go without them. I'm going back and forth on trying to decide if I want to remove mine.

 

Well after taking off mine I'd say it looks good without it, to me that is.

 

Black and Gray look fine either way. The other colors can pull it off if they use it to accent other black parts like wheels, dark tint, etc. I'm still debating whether I want to pull mine off or not.

 

ahah i feel the opposite way. the light colors really highlight the sudden break in the color while the black blends in with the dark colors.

 

Hmmm, well i DO see what you're saying...

Wow!.. Looks really good!...Was it hard to pull it off?, and I assume there was no issue with the clear coat underneath?

 

It was kinda hard to pull it just gotta take your time to pull it off one time shot.
Nope no problems at all depending on how long you've had your tc2 tiny kind residue might stick on.

 

Found a top view picture of the zelas, the middle eastern tc. now this looks good with black A pillars.

 

I do like the Zelas lip kit and REALLY like the spoiler.

 

THe gloss black looks marvelous without it. Not to mention you don't have to pull the a pillar off. They do not put them on the black... Now, my wife has a 2011 xB, white. It wa a pain to pull off, but we didn't use a heat gun either.

 

some one should try wrapping the pillar in in clear vinyl over the black to make it glossy...

 

I have really been debating pulling mine off also. I just think it would look better then all the black the way it is right now.

 

Hey cazman, donno if you checked out Errol's car, but i really like how cement looks without it:

 

Sure did! Thanks. I totally agree. Will be removing them this weekend if not sooner.

 

Thanks guys

 

I've got the nauti blue and had the hood wrapped in carbon fiber...thinking of doing the same for the pillers!
