Default B Pillar peeling
Does anybody know if the exterior black portion of the B Pillar, the one that always fades a peels, is removable. I want to know before I try to take it off and break it. Thanks

Yes it is removable. You can buy the part at Lexus, or have it painted for a comparable price...

Default thanks guys
I will probably just paint them. Normally I would buy new ones but I have the paint for it. I used to work for one of the big car paint manufacturers and have some black base and clear at home.

I still would replace them since you will run into the plastic tabs underneath breaking after a while and all you work painting them will be lost.
