^make sure you clean those pillars real good
and then put the CF 3M pillars on warm day,,,make sure your pillars are freakin WARM,,some people use heatgun after applying the 3M goodies just to be safe

Don't go cheap. I tried that route and it looked like ***. If you want it to look proper, get the real thing (Fabulous, etc).

^^ The eBay set that I saw fit okay, and looked okay from a distance. But I wouldn't recommend it for some of the rides I see on this forum.

Also, I just looked for it on eBay and didn't see it listed anymore.

Has anyone noticed that the b pillars scratch really easily? I wiped em down with a damp microfiber cloth because they were dirty and now I can see scratches in them if I look up close....

It seems to be the gloss finish. My cousins crv has a matte finish and does not scratch at all...

i have the fabulous pillars.. looks wise.. they look almost like the ebay ones.. but compared to my friends... ebay one fitment is slightly off.. but if you have visors it covers the gap on the ebay pillars... also.. my fabulous pillars are still sticking perfect.. no heat gun used. the ebay pillars on my friends car has started to peel.
