looks ok, but count me out of the revolution.

 

I can see it looking really nice on a silver car, but I'm not so sure it would work on many other colors.

 

i think it would look best on black cars, i started the revolution over a year ago.

 

Yeah, I could also see it working really well on black. But that's a given - it'd just be a nice shiny patch of black instead of nasty faded flat black.

Actually, the more I think about it, I could see it working on many different colors. So completely ignore that previous post fellas.

 

the laser red looks good, too. my pillars are going to be black soon i hope, with a self paint job perhaps, i dont want to spend any sort of significant sum on it.

 

I've got my fingers crossed for some nice CF pieces to put there... But this is pretty cool for now. I'll get pictures for you clowns once I wash the car today.

 

damn I don’t know if I like it, my pillars are so faded they look like shit but I kinda like the contrast.... what do I do?????????

A little lighter fluid to remove any adhesive residue, then "buff" them shiny.

 

yea i like how it makes the windows look like one giant expanse. I'm not digging it...but thats just My opinion.

it doesnt look bad, and you did a nice job, just not for everyone.

Like Mgtd said, tho. I would like someway to make it look better then the faded black

 

I've seen very few mods that everyone can unanimously approve of, so I don't feel too bad about it. I like the way it looks on my car, but I also plan to one day replace the pillars with some CF or some other suitable material that won't fade and look like shit again.

 

John id do CF if it didnt cost 100$ for that crap off ebay....

Um so i think it looks good for the mean time. it looked like crap with holes in that vinyl though. so that inspired me to take it off. I may Do CF. but then again i dont want to be poked at for having a ricer.

If i really wanted to i could just get some silver contact paper and put in over the pillars. it may look Ok. i dont know if i want to try it.

Unless i find CF for under 40$, im not going to do it.

May i ask a question too. compleatly off topic but my friend was trying to convince me...

last night me and my friend got in an argument that adding weight to wheels ( bigger heavyer wheels ) slows down accel, and you want lightest wheels you can get for accel and good handle.

He tried to convice me these heavy wheels he put on his civic make it grip really really well, and it was because of the wehight of the tires and rims. it was making the cars center of gravity lower making it eaiser to take sharper turns. i told him if he was using the same tire tred, on both the new and old set of tires. if he were to put bricks on his floor in the car it would make it heaver too and make it turn the same. Am i right?

 

I started ont mine today and only got one strip off. That glue sucks to get off, how did you get it off?

 

Lots and lots of degreaser (Goo-Gone, what-have-you).

Heat, too. Use your electric turbocharger (known to you mortals as a device for drying hair...). that works nice.

 

I used some parts cleaner to get the glue of then washed the paunt after. that tool awhile

you want the lowest unsprung weight possible. Unsprung weight is even worse than sprung weight

Ok use a blow dryer. and start from the top. so do the inside and pick it off, then do the other side. bring it together and pull down the middle from the outside. get what i mean this is ur pillar .[ ].
Start at the . and get a long strip going. and just pull down. i didnt have to use much googone just a little squirt. the sticky crap came off with the vinyl.

SO heres the question. Do you guys like the look?

I was driving around today looking for cars that DIDNT have the black collums... and the only cars i saw not to have them were volvos and pic up truckes... Hmm i guess im a sweedish hick now XD

 

Here is a cf pic of the columns for you

 

Yeah, I was browsing eBay just a minute ago and found a bunch of hits... A lot of the ads say 4-door, 4 pieces... but that would still leave one spot uncovered...

Did you find yours on eBay?

PS - looks good

 

I bought the 8 piece kit when they first cam out for 75 shipped i think. I got the a, b, c pillars and then the triangle area next to the c pillar.

 

What's it look like on the A pillar?

 

Guys, I will get a group buy price again, just waiting for an email to come back.

Dan

 

Thanks Dan

 

Oh, and in case you don't feel like looking at my picture thread... here's a pic of my car with the faded vinyl gross stuff removed:

Code can you please footnote when you steal my lead, and sick vinyl removal job... and also... stealing a picture of my car is a low blow...

Haha nice work now. the only thing on the outside of your car that seperates mine now is the wingless gill, and them stickers!

but i have to say. on the inside mine dominates... and under the hood...well thats a fight for another day

Nice work john!

 

Don't get me started on "under the hood"... Mr. "I need more bling before I get more zing"

Oh, and what about the foglights? And euro plate? Dual rear fogs? Vig antenna? DOD decal on the windshield? "Get out of tickets free" National Guard plate?

You've got a lot of catching up to do, son
