Default Carbon Fiber Pillar Appliques w/ Tinted Windows

I've tinted down to legal (20% here in Oklahoma) and wondered if anyone in the forum has installed the B&C Pillar Carbon Fiber Appliques. I'd like the have the windows and the pillars more blended rather than the gloss of the glass and the flat black of the stock pillars. Would the Carbon Fiber help me get the one-piece look I want for the windows all-around? If not, any other suggestions?

take the black vinyl window tape off. and it'll be window tint next to your stock body color.

I have seen a post where the pillars were taken to body color, but what I'm really after is a gloss black instead. Thanks for the idea, though.

The pillars are nice, but you still have that dull black piece of plastic in between the rear door and cargo glass. I would consider using some carbon fiber vinyl and do a DIY job and save a bit of money. It's a bit more glossy and come in various shades to match your tint :D

Thanks, Cloudnine. That's probably what I needed to hear. Now I have to hope I'm artistic enough to cut and slice the vinyl without it looking like a 3rd grader stuck contact paper on my car.
