agreed, i think CF is tacky in almost every application. unless you are building a 10-11 second car, then you don't need the ounces you save with CF.

yah i personally LOVE cf. but i feel like a lot of times its not done right. when its not done right, CF just looks TACKY and out of place.

i personally would love cf b pillars with a matching cf hood, but it has to be quality stuff.

the cf b pillars on ebay are NOT a direct replacement for the stock piece, they are just an overlay. thats what i dont like about them. if they were a direct replacement then id definitely get em!

CF is a beautiful material, i'll agree with you there. but i have seen it most on crappy ricers that can't run a 1/4 in less than 16-17 seconds. i don't understand the need for a weight reducing material unless you are intending to go fast all the time.. like, i don't know, a race car.

real, quality carbon fiber looks awesome, i love the stuff..but as mentioned above, these are cheap pieces that stick (probably with 3m tape) onto the existing b-pillars...that is just rice...

I don't care what anyone says..... THAT B PILLAR CF LOOKS TURDS. You may gain 0.00005 of a second down the quarter mile but i'd rather lose that time and not have people point & laugh at me. If you were even thinking about it.... You MUST get the REAL stuff and keep clear of 40 buck tape on strips. They are hideous
