How to remove B & C pillars on 2005 C230ss?
Does anyone know how to? I was thinking about having them dipped in chrome or maybe replacing them with the real carbon fiber ones?

No I mean pillar b between the front door window and rear door window and pillar c the seperation on the rear door window. I read onthis forum there used to be a screw in the older models. There is some company selling them on ebay but i want the real deal ones not the stickers.

Yea, Not exactly my idea with the pillars but the tint shop said he can dip them whatever color I wanted them. I still prefer the carbon fiber ones with the chrome edges.

Do you even know what I am talking about? I guess not because you really never gave any help to my question.
Well in my opinion I think carbon fiber ones with the chrome edges is a nice added extra to our pillars, considering we have chrome outlining alot of things on our cars, but besides that it makes our BENZ shine.

They are stuck on pretty hard. The "c" pillar you refer to requires that the window be removed. You might want to consider why hardly anyone has done it.

Just removing the "B" parts is enough to damage them. You might want to start with a low end version (not painted) and get them altered before you remove the original ones.

Should look pretty cheap and crappy once it is done but that doesnt mean it can not be done.
