Post LT & RT Interior Garnish Pillars

Hi

FYI

You guy's might know this already but

If your Interior Pillar Garnish that are located inside the frt doors right next to the side of the seats are getting damaged or fading go to your dealer and complain and they will replace them via a service bulletin numbers
62413-30250-CO
62414-30180-CO
for the GS3
They will replaced the cheep plastic pillars and put some leather cushioned pillars that look a whole lot better....

hells yes! thats the first thing i damaged on my car when i had it. the buttons on my jeans use to "catch" it and i have some nice damage to that piece. i asked the dealer how much that piece cost and they told me $200. if i can get it replaced for free, id love too. i always wondered why they put such soft cheap material there.

Definitely not a stock item, but only a couple of days away... if they order today, should be at your dealer w/i a few days. My dealer ordered today, arrval on Wednesday, 5/20.

YMMV
