CLS Door Pillars - refinish, replace or buy covers?

The black door and rear window pillars on my 2006 are faded and scratched so I am looking for options to restore them. It seems there are three options. 1. Restore them somehow by wet sanding, buffing etc. 2. Replace them. or 3. buy covers for them like these at ebay:

Anyone have experience with this? Im afraid the covers will look cheap....

I got these real carbon fiber covers on ebay, its molded carbon with adhesive backing, not 3M carbon vinyl

Looks good
