    So far it's been surprisingly stable...opening and closing the door I use this area all the time and thus far no peels or scratches...and if it does, big deal just hit it with a quick spray. Love the fact you don't have to worry about overspray too.

    I would have used regular paint, but I'm thinking of resale. All the mods are coming off once it goes up for sale/is traded in.

    yeah when i first saw it, it kinda reminded me of a tundra. not sure if tundras even have the black pillars lol[/QUOTE]

    Exactly where I picked up the idea. The tundra's do have black B-pillars.

    I'm all about carbon fiber, but I'm not sure if I like this in carbon.

    The painted black, with dark tint, hell yes it looks awesome.

    Maybe if your tint was darker the carbon would work better.... :notsure:
