the pillars on John and Franks cars are definitely dope. but, I really REALLY couldn't fathom spending money on replacing them. I'm happy with the black... I had the oem "cf" pillars on my w202 and while it was cool, I think the glossy black looks just as good.

I JUST noticed something with your sig. It looks like the background of your MX-6 was taken at the school. You need to use one of the school shots for the C230, now that would be dope.

Been planning that for a while, but just never got a chance. Everytime I wanted to, there were too many cars in the lot.

I personally prefer the NON-chrome version just like the 2002 C32
and C Sport Sedans up to 2004.5

I'm still trying to source those, and I have a sneaky suspicion that the inquiry I made with HOI may have a set in stock. My quote wasn't nearly as high as $400 per pillar. More along the lines of $360.80 a pair.

Part #'s:
A 203 630 15 11
A 203 630 16 11

anyway.... also the possibility exists to trade off with another member (keeping fingers crossed).

I think my new mod got lost in the chit-chat


Aside from Jose, has anybody else gotten a Euro License plate and mounted it without using the OEM Plate conversion part?

I may have to go to the parts that Jose came up with a couple years back because my "custom" bracket from Napa Autoparts may be too big to do both.

I was told that rear Euro plate is supposed to be Yellow, but I didn't really care since it's just for novelty.

Anyways, I'm gonna get this done this weekend, most likely, but thought I'd see if anybody else has done the dual license plate mounting.
