Nice, I bought my CF trunk spoiler from him and it is great he is also a good seller shipped quick and packed well. I'm going to wait about a month and I bet the price will drop a little by then.
Sorry just checked I bought something else from him not the trunk spoiler.

It looks hot haha. Normally its like gold in the car world because it looks sexy but also is alot lighter than the part it's usually replacing. In this case it is just being added on, so is mainly for looks and not weight reduction.

Interesting -- and here I was loading up trunks of trees into my car for aesthetics ;-). To each his own I suppose.

I think it looks nice and sets your car off from the norm. I'm already going to be getting CF lip and diffuser so just wanted some accents for the side. I'm probably still going to get CF mirrors, but it's such a small bit on the largest profile side. My car is white and I'm toying with the idea of replacing what little black exteriors parts I have with CF to accent the car. Of course, to really pull that off, I'd probably have to order 360 Forged CF wheels to match :p Regardless, I've ordered the pillar and I'll try it on. If it looks good, I'll keep it on, and if not, well, it was only like $125.

This will be a nice add-on in a few years when those shinny black panels start to oxidize from being baked in the sun. My '04 Endeavor is already suffering badly on the drivers side. Seems I always park with the drivers side facing the sun?!

I think sticking that on would make the car look cheap. It already has black moldings around the windows, and that piece would be off color which sticks out. Just my opinion, but I do love CF on cars.

Yeah, that's what I was worried about. It might look good, but might not. Either way, it wasn't that expensive so figured might as well give it a shot. If it doesn't look good, I can always just not install it or remove it.

The primary goal of the CF plan on my car is to "accent and not distract". I'm starting to think this pillar mod might fall into the distract category. We'll see.

I personally think CF should only be added in inconspicuous places where it might not be readily noticeable. Too much CF trim all over the place cheapens the look, I think, unless there are other strategically placed pieces elsewhere on the car.
On black or darker colored cars it's a little different, but on my Arctic White, I'm gonna try to limit the CF trim to just a few places. I don't want the "trim" to be the centerpieces.
Again, where the hell is Euroteck with their lip and diffuser?????????????????????????????????????????? I keep checking their website for the release.

Lip and diffuser end of july. You still got another month :p
Yeah, I'm starting to second guess myself on the pillar idea. I kinda talked myself long enough to hit the "buy" button that it would be fairly subtle since the whole top portion of the profile is black cause I'm probably going to go either limo or 20% tint. I used the same argument for the CF mirrors but haven't executed on that yet. Might be a bit overboard, but I bought the CF mirror overlays so I can test out the look on my car before I commit the $3-400 for the Brabus ones.

Looks like a new seller has popped up for the pillars
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...spagenameZWDVW
Pictures of the same car so wondering if these are just distributors and the makers sent them the same stock photos. This guy is slightly cheaper. Also, he specified that these are real carbon fiber.
