CF Pillar

Hi guys, I notice my pillar on my car is slowly fading out and getting chipped off. Any idea's how to remove it? Thanks.

By the way, those CF on Ebay, are they any good? Do I just literally stick the CF one on top of the old one?

open the door and push the rubber away from the pillar. there should be two screws holding it in place.. take those out and slide it away..

i purchased my carbon fiber pillers off of ebay. there a 6 piece that look real well. mine being a sport the pillars on mine were fading also. i used rubbing alcohol to clean them, but that was the time i was putting on my new ones. here are some pictures. in time they get a light color of a brownish color tho. might be from the sun but other then that they have held on well
