Default 30 dollar fix for peeling pillars

Got these online and they look pretty good, 30 for both, it's just stick on like the dash kits

You could also strip off what is left and apply Plasti Dip for another option

Nice fix but looks a bit out of place IMO... the carbon fiber might look good like that if you changed your hood to match but that might be a bit extreme although it would fit the theme....

I thought it would when I saw it but it actually fits pretty good with the color of my tints, car and wheels

Where did you buy it? I may consider this if they had it in plain black.

I don't mind the way mine are now... they've peeled completely and it's now a flat black, but I would prefer a nice shiny piano black if it's cheap.
