I've had glossy black overlays on my B&C pillars for a while and they look cool but they scratched really easily. I decided to go a different route and covered them with 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber overlays. This stuff looks good and even has a real texture to it. I like the look, it's very subtle but a bit different:

I like them; but not sure about the top where they meet the rest of the window frame.
It seems like something is missing or that the rest of the window frame should also get the treatment.
I would have to see it in person before putting them on mine. Since Alex has the same type and color, I will let him beta test it for me. :-)

I'm just using them as B&C pillar accents. The whole door frame might look cool though.
