CARBON FIBER PILLAR COVERS -Those that bought from Ebay, have they held up???

I was finally about to pick up the carbon fiber piller cover 6 piece set from ebay, but wanted to check in with the fellow members on if they had begun to peel or fade in color over time since they have been installed...

I know they look excellent when first installed based off pics posted in this forum, but was wondering, do they still look like new after 3-6 months??

Would greatly appreciate any updates or pics anybody can share about their carbon fiber pillars and their ability to remain flushly attached and not fade over time.

Thanks so much

RB

You'll love them. They're really thin and sit rather flush. I've received tons of compliments on them already. The only part that exposes them as an overlay is the top part since it doesn't curl with the pillar, but you'd have to get really close to notice it.

My pillars are holding up very well thru all kinds of weather the past 6 months and it was such a simple mod that even i did it myself yay

yup and if you heat it up (if you got the patience) and prep it before installing you might be able to make the top curl, be very careful of overheating.. im rather impatient, so i did not do any heating..
