Thanks to Big ****** for the recommendation and being the guinnea pig on these. :fing02:
Ebay specials here from ebay seller "pillarcovers". Under $40, which is why I gave them a shot. I have been planning to remove my pillars and have them professionally painted BB, but these covers are a much cheaper solution. And after seeing Big ******'s, I figured I'd give them a shot.
As far as appearance, the gloss and reflection is like glass. Looks great on BB with tints - no more of those greyish pillar stripes which break up the lines of the car. They are also made well - durable "polycarbonate" with good 3M-like thin adhesive on the back.
My only complaint, and please understand that I am picky, is that they are not a perfect fit. Damn close. But not perfect. I wish they were just a bit taller. But I've noticed that the sealant line at the top of the pillars and the rubber stripping at the bottom of the pillars tend to differ from car to car - so maybe they might be perfectly sized for someone else. I ended up butting them up to the top side since that is more at eye level, and there is a tiny little small gap at the bottom now. I think I can live with it. Other than that, they stick out a bit, but not bad. The adhesive goes right to the edge so that helps with the transition from pillar to cover.
Overall, the minor fitment issues are well worth the gloss look - they simply disappear into my windows now. So for under $40 delivered, I'd recommend them.
And of course, before/during/after pics...
